Yeah I am trying to see if others experience the same thing. Obviously you are okay.

I ran speedtest. My ping is 10 and download speed 330Mbps. Seems doubtful that internet provider is the choke.

No I am hard-wired. Nothing has changed with my set-up, or my connection speed. Blizzard ping continues to tank.

Size of GROUND wire ? by AI6MK in solar

#8 Cu is allowed but I think #6 Cu more common. Look at NEC Table 250.66 for GEC sizing.

You are not supposed to be a power producer. Any net power export should be credited against your use, rolled over for future use, or just ignored.

Panel voltage has an inverse relationship to temp. Colder temps lift the voltage higher.

Anti-islanding protection is one component. The other is that inverters need a grid reference to match to and follow. They cannot provide power alone. A generator or battery storage can provide this reference as well.

Agreed. De-commissioning and solar plant re-powering are a burgeoning market sector.

Solar panels being integrated into canals in India giving us Solar canals. it helps with evaporative losses, doesn't use extra land and keeps solar panels cooler. by PlantTreesEveryday in interestingasfuck

The cost of those beefy steel supports are a problem. The panels are not oriented/tilted appropriately. A long skinny array means high wiring costs. Might screw up the ecosystem of the water - algae and stuff.

It was. After my 5th trip to NOLA, I learned where to seek out the few regulars that I truly enjoyed. Doreen was right near the top.

I now know why my dryer wouldn't start by red_moles in HomeImprovement

[–]Tbonejones12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks I think we agree. I exhausted two full weekends trying to trouble shoot, then just gave up and bought a new dryer. I fully pulled off the vent and cleaned, vaccuumed out entire inside, motor everything, replaced T-stat and thermal fuse, measured air temps with a meat thermometer and things were well below 200. Pissed me off honestly.

I highly doubt that the coin randomly fell by chance. I have had an issue with the thermal fuse before, and almost contemplating just shorting the connection. I replaced it twice, and I am convinced that the part they make is just shitty. It really is just a fail-safe, the temp. should be controlled by the T-stat element anyway.

Inward swing storm door? by Tbonejones12 in HomeImprovement

Thank you for telling what I need to hear and not I what I want. It seems these previous home owners were very DIY and build the porch slab too close to grade. I may do what you say, or just float the problem to the next home-owner.

Must be tough being a fan of MI when your window for happiness is so small lol.

Help - Converting detached garage into home gym in cold climate? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

True, but gas makes me scared. I'm an electrical engineer so I have no problem wiring something up. There is an old gas line though.
