I am still waiting for ACH withdraws to clear....major money...big banks are playing chickenshit games cause of pressure from the SEC...they are holding up dispersals...But Binance US was a legal business in the US and the banks ACH agreements were legal and standard for the industry..they...

3 kw of panels 48v. Split phase. EG4 or Victron. Most summer days should be 2000 watts for 6-7 hrs.

So a constant is needed I guess... so maybe the best device will be a...

off topic... If I wait till 65 for SS benefits I will only get 75$ more than if I take it at 64. Do you think that is worth the wait? I could use the money early...its not much overall anyway..

Is there an alternative to GelCoat(60$) that isn't so pricey and isn't anymore toxic and works good for painting fiberglass stuff that has been thoroughly sanded..there would be a base coat of white on the fiberglass even after sanding..but it wouldn't be shiny and protective like fresh GelCoat...
