Because you'd rather that he not keep trying to fish with a baseball bat? (It's rarely effective and scares the fish away for everyone.) LOL Yep that pretty much sums it up with people that won't listen to people trying to help them....... LOL
Where you been jsb? You are missed.

You know I've been thinking...... People today are way different than they were when I grew up....... No one held my hand to learn a trade, Either you learned or you didn't it was up to you...... People didn't care if you learned or not..... I had a friend that was a carpenter tell me when he was a kid learning to be a carpenter his first boss told him to cut a board lets say 7'6".... He went and got the board and was marking it..... His boss came over and asked him what the hell he was doing? ? ? He said I'm cutting you a board...... His boss told him {Let me tell you something a carpenter will mark a board once a helper will mark a board twice and a damn fool will just keep on marking..... So what are you? ? ?} He never forgot that...... And I think about that every time I'm building something........ People today have it to easy and it shows............ That's why you MD were reported to the Admin because you hurt someones feelings for doing nothing wrong.......

I agree, But while your trying to teach them how to fish, they keep leaving the pond to go play ball. What is your reasoning then to keep teaching them how to fish? Because you'd rather that he not keep trying to fish with a baseball bat? (It's rarely effective and scares the fish away for everyone.) Made my day with that one!!!

I just noticed that Renogy now has a 300W 24V panel available. I thought, before reading the specs, wow 300W, 15A solar panel, sounds like a good deal. But, reading the specs, for the 300W panel, the panel is only 9.33A optimum output. What happened to the other 6Amps. How do you come up with 15 amperes?
Optimum Operating Voltage (Vmp): 32.25V
Optimum Operating Current (Imp): 9.33A
32.25 Volts X 9.33 Amps = 300.89 Watts

Of course with MPPT, 300 Watts / 13.8 volts = 21.74 Amps (assuming an impossible 100% efficiency)
So 300 X .9 (90% efficiency) = 270 Watts
270 Watts / 13.8 Volts = 19.57 amps at 13.8 volts
That would be pushing the envelope of a 20 Amp Rover charge controller while at maximum panel output. Of course, how often do we see out panels working at optimum operating current and voltage.

What a wonderful day in the neighborhood ... Yes sir that's what I've been saying all along,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Cooler temps and some rain finally................
And my batteries are floating for the very first time everyday this time of year since I built my system....... Because the sun is lower in the sky......
It's amazing what adding 4 more panels at a steeper angle did for my system...........

The way they keep turning off your power more people need to go off grid out there.............
I don't see how you can keep anything in the freezer or fridge for that matter?
The power company should have to pay for what you loose in your freezer........

Man isn't this Autumn weather beautiful? I sure am glad the summer heat is finally gone........... We are getting hammered with hot Santa Ana winds. The heat isn't gone for us. It's good to here someone has good weather!

You people are getting hammered, I really hope something changes because if it doesn't nothing will be left standing..... My son lives just outside SFO. They have been alerted they might lose power from time to time. His house on a hill gets massive amounts of sun. I am encouraging him to get Lycan and 300W of panels. No installation needed on his back porch, just lay panels up against the house. Use Lycan juice all night for lights, for fridge, cooking, etc. Hope he takes my advice.

I hope he listens to his old man also..... I would think the way they are turning everyone's power off it's for damn sure I would have a solar back up of some kind............
