Depending on where and how you live, the right or the wrong size.What size system do I have?

MediumWhat size system do I have?
11/64 of a cubit. Expect it to produce about 20 cords over a lustre.In all seriousness though, for proper terminology:
I have a 3Kw 24v inverter
It has 1800w of panels attached to it
I have 400w of panels on a parallel SCC
The batterie banks hold 5.7Kwh each (currently 1 bank, will be adding in the future)

True,You dudes have all been advising Boris Johnson, I just know it.
20 cords! There always seems to be a burn ban, how am I ever going to get through that in my fire pit?11/64 of a cubit. Expect it to produce about 20 cords over a lustre.
As a mechanical engineer I try not to be too critical, the rule of the land seems to be "The engine was doing X RPM's" when what you really just wrong is "revolutionS per minuteS". I'm sure I'm guilty of Lifepo4 and KW typos, as long as its interpreted in the correct setting you just let it go. Everyone is strong in their own field.Yeah, as an engineer the mis-use of abbreviations and multipliers does grate somewhat (I even find it in supposedly "professional" equipment documentation!), although usually it's interpretable.
India opening a 100mW solar farm - Yeah, I get that, I have one on my calculator.
A 10KW heater - OK although I'm not sure what Kelvin-Watts are useful for.
Then along come the power-bank makers and specify capacity in mAh 'coz it gives a nice big number. Someone then asks "how big should a 33,000MAh power bank be?" - The size of a large building perhaps.
especially when the voltage of the bank isn’t specified…Someone then asks "how big should a 33,000MAh power bank be?" - The size of a large building perhaps.
The alt character set repeats… I think.Sorry, I didn't know there were "ALT" characters past 256? Where can you find this?
13,200 GWhImagine a 33,000MAh 400V bank… good LORD that would be huge…
and the second number is the number ofconductors. STRANDS
I believe you can purchase emp shields and whole home surge protectors. I may be wrong may be correctCME: Coronal Mass Ejection
ICME: Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection
CME is a Sun Fart. ICME is a Sun Fart that reaches Earth. More appropriate definitions will influence edits of this post. ?
Some folks are forecasting more of these over the next few years.
Maybe we should consider preparing for these in our solar systems, maybe not. That is a discussion for another thread.
Shouldn't "V - volts, a unit of voltage.", be a unit of Electromotive force? And "A battery's voltage is measured...", be, A battery's EMF is measured in volts - V?A - amps, a unit of current. Named after André-Marie Ampère.
V - volts, a unit of voltage. Named after Alessandro Volta.
W - watts, a unit of power. Named after James Watt.
Ω - ohms, a unit of resistance. Named after Georg Ohm.
h - hours
k - kilo (SI prefix for 1000)
K - Kelvin, a unit of temperature. Named after William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. Not really relevant in solar discussions.
m - milli (SI prefix for 1/1000)
M - mega (SI prefix for 1000000)
Current is measured in amps - A
A battery's voltage is measured in volts - V
A battery's current capacity is measured in amp hours - Ah
