    database of actual solar production by location

    I've seen lots of maps that look more or less like this: https://www.appropedia.org/Solar_Radiation_Maps#/media/File:Solar_radiation_annual.jpg The text says they take various factors into account, such as cloud cover from satellite images, water vapor, and more. But do you know of any...

    lifepo4 end of life at 70% capacity

    I was browsing and noticed this lifep04 cell said to stop using it once the capacity falls below 70%. End of Life Management Capacity/Typical Capacity <70% During the use of the battery, when the end of life is exceeded, should stop use the battery...

    I just hooked up some solar gear, but the output is lower than I expected. I'm in the Denver area. Its a clear day at about ~40 degrees latitude. I expect reduced output due to the month, but it's less than I expected, and wanted to know if others think this is in the range of possibility, or if...

    Charge Controller voltage range efficiency

    I'm very new to solar, and am researching equipment. Some SCCs have much higher upper voltage limits than others (like 450 or 600 vs 150). I understand the benefit of higher voltage on the PV string due to reduced line losses. But, I wonder if the SCC itself tends to have an efficiency "sweet...
