    Issue With Signature Solar Tech Dept.

    I've been told that my emails were forwarded to the tech support team on a number of occasions. Why does it take airing the dirty laundry to get a response? Not that I'm not grateful to finally (hopefully) be on the road to a fix, but it shouldn't come to this.

    Issue With Signature Solar Tech Dept.

    I have been trying for over a year to get Signature Solar to help fix an issue with a system they designed for me. The issue is the batteries and the inverter don't play nice together. The inverter thinks the batteries are low when they are 100% or the BMS will report an undefined error and...

    The vaccinated are more likely to catch Covid

    The 5th Circuit Court put an emergency stay on the mandates. It has been appealed and will go to the 3rd? Cincinnati ... not sure if that is the 3rd Circuit or not, but when it is all said and done, the mandates will end up in the SCOTUS. Until then, the mandates are suspended.

    https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19/comirnaty-and-pfizer-biontech-covid-19-vaccine The language is intentionally misleading. The first paragraph refers to the approval, but what was approved was the name change. In the second paragraph...

    The vaccinated are more likely to catch Covid

    At age 60, I had covid and recovered. I see no reason to get a jab for the following reasons: J&J. I'd trust Alec Baldwin with a gun before I trusted J&J. They knew for decades that their products were harming consumers and hid the data to protect their profits. mRNA - Still under emergency...

    The vaccinated are more likely to catch Covid

    There are other studies underway and will be producing their findings soon. One of the major pitfalls in science today is funding. It is in the interest of the investigative body to find the conclusions desired by the people who are funding them. That is why there is so much conflicting...

    The vaccinated are more likely to catch Covid

    Just dropped in for some light reading and don't have a dog in this race, but ... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33278625/ Here is the abstract: Ivermectin, a US Food and Drug Administration-approved anti-parasitic agent, was found to inhibit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2...

    Why climate change is real

    Not too big. Probably just about right. But, there are some really smart people on this forum and I appreciate all of the different points of view. Backhanded insults? Not so much.

    Why climate change is real

    One more thing I'm certain of (and it may be the Bourbon talking): The people on this forum are friggin' brilliant.

    Why climate change is real

    The earth doesn't orbit the sun in a perfect circle, and the sun doesn't emit a constant amount of energy. None of the models take into account the 11 year solar cycle or the earth's position from the sun. Here is what I am certain of: I'm going to get taxed way more than I want, and one...

    Gas-Powered Lawn Equipment Will Soon Be Banned In Cali, a broad category that includes generators.

    Personal experience. I was in Suisun, about 20 miles away and spent a lot of my time in Napa at the wineries. Gavin owns Plumpjack. Vineyards were going up in smoke and no declaration of an emergency. When the fire was less than 1/2 mile from Plumpjack, we got the state of emergency. Could...

    Gas-Powered Lawn Equipment Will Soon Be Banned In Cali, a broad category that includes generators.

    During the fire in Napa, Gavin did not declare an emergency ... until it threatened HIS vineyard. As long as it was taking out the competition, he was quite content to let the fire burn.

    Gas-Powered Lawn Equipment Will Soon Be Banned In Cali, a broad category that includes generators.

    Grizzly Flats is in the middle of nowhere. Home Despot is the closest big box store, and we have a True Value that is closer, so we never make it to the Lowes that is about 2 hours away. Appreciate the tips, but I know my gas powered saws and have all the stuff I need to keep them running...

    Yes ... I was speaking of electric chainsaws. Haven't seen the models you speak of out here in CA. Like most things, if they work, they are probably banned. I tried an Echo and a Husky. Neither were worth the plastic they were made of.

    Gas-Powered Lawn Equipment Will Soon Be Banned In Cali, a broad category that includes generators.

    I live in Grizzly Flats ... one of the few houses still remaining after the Caldor Fire. Electricity has been shut off up here several times due to winds and we lose power often in the winter. It was out for 10 days straight one winter. Average seems to be about three days. I heat the house...

    VPOVH Batteries

    The 480ah 12v is $766, not the $196.66 shown. Like most Aliexpress vendors, they try to lure you in with incredibly low prices only to spring the real price on you when you order. Sketchy. Gonna pass.

    Bigger is better. Looking to put out more energy than the alternator can produce.

    I should have mentioned ... I have an alternator on it right now. It was installed for proof of concept. I can do better. Looking at Taoiseach. Thanks for the lead!

    Steam Power

    I built a hillbilly solar system using four 395 watt panels, a mmpt charge controller, four deep cell marine batteries, and a 3500 watt inverter. But, I live in the tall pines and in order to charge (I can't cut down my neighbor's trees), I have to chase the sun around the yard with the solar...
