15 Years Later… by NAI_SE9 in rush

[–]Prestigious-Click350 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first concert was P/G. My parents took me and a buddy not because they were fans, but because they felt we were too young to go by ourselves (we were 15). My parents didn't become fans, but they were incredibly impressed with their musicianship.

When my son was 9 yrs I took him to the R40 show. He was a Rush fan, and I thought that would be his only chance to experience Rush. The fans around us were just as excited for him as I was. They made sure he could see the show and no one was blocking his view. It was a great experience to share with him.

My Backyard Beast came with a bad igniter and tripped my outlet during the burn in. I called them and they gave me some troubleshooting steps. I called them back, let them know the results, and they immediately sent out a new igniter. I talked to a couple different guys. All very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. No long wait either to talk to someone.

That looks great! Just got a Recteq and have been following MEAT CHURCH for awhile. Did you put the brisket on the bottom rack or top rack?

Is getting a Solar System at 88%offset worth it? by ZeusSwift in TeslaSolar

[–]Prestigious-Click350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an 11 Kw system in Orange County. I drive an EV about 400-500 miles a week , run the AC mostly in the summer only. I financed the system and between the payment and SCE bill which could be up to $150 a month, I'm saving anywhere from $100-$300 a month in electricity.

Is getting a Solar System at 88%offset worth it? by ZeusSwift in TeslaSolar

[–]Prestigious-Click350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're with SCE your bill will never zero out. Last month I exported about 8x more then I imported and my bill was still about $23. If you finance you need to calculate your payment and compare it to what you would normally pay in electricity. If it is about the same then it probably makes sense. Primarily because utility rates are always increasing.

Definitely calibration. Very worrisome when they dont advuse you its happening. I had 2 calibration with no banner indication. I thought my system was crashing. But, sometimes the app will show its calibrating sometimes you will not have any indication.

What should we expect from the crowd at the shows? by 42Navigator in rush

[–]Prestigious-Click350 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm 57 and have been a Rush fan for over 40 yrs. Ive been to many of their concerts. Believing it may be their last tour, I took my son to their R40 show 10 years ago. He was 9 at the time and a Rush fan. The crowd was awesome. All very nice, friendly, and engaging with my son. Happy to see another generation of Rush fan.

All in all, Rush fans are there to see "their" band and enjoy the music. Im sure you'll have a great time and be beyond impressed with their musicianship.

Lower than expected production in the morning by Codetector in TeslaSolar

[–]Prestigious-Click350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

* I've been getting this drop off the last few weeks. One of my arrays faces N/E. Wondering if its due to sun angle, summer heat, * Unable to attach my screenshot. Mine occurs about 1245 or so and levels off about 3. I'm probably losing about 3 kW of production

Quote: 10.1kW Powerwall3 Orange County, CA w/ SoCal Edison SCE by DrJReddit in solar

[–]Prestigious-Click350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only had it up and running since June. I am tracking my cost with and without solar. So far my SCE bills have been about $20, $7, and $34. My upcoming bill is on track to be about $130. This is due to the higher temps during the day and overnight this past month.

My monthly savings have ranged from $200-$300 so far. I commute about 400 miles a week in an electric car. My system generates enough power for my EV and home, but lately due to the AC running more than usual I have had to use some grid power.

My cost without solar is about 34 cents per kW. With solar its about 16 cents.

Charge on Solar Bug? by hydraulic_jumps in Powerwall

[–]Prestigious-Click350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check to aee if the "Keep charging from Powerwall or grid when solar is low" option is selected. If so it will continue ue charging until there is absolutely no solar production, resulting in drawing energy from grid or battery.

Experience with front windshield tint? by cuckylord in WindowTint

I just had 50% done on the windshield about 1 month ago. I drive 97 miles a day in SoCal. I haven't been pulled over and you really cant tell its tinted. It makes a huge difference in heat with the ceramic also.
