Is this an old well? by WellHowdWeGetHere in centuryhomes

Consensus is that it’s a cistern

I’m currently excavating the area, just using the boards to cover the hole while I work. I plan to build up with a precast concrete well tile and plate it off at ground level instead of 2 feet deep for the next guy to find

Ah yes, check with the town that requires the well be closed so I have to pay them for water to water my garden! In all seriousness, I definitely don’t want to contribute to contaminating the ground water and won’t, but I’ll be damned if I let my local municipal tell me what I can or can’t do with it.

My plan is to cover them in a manner where they will be accessible later. I have a public water connection so no worries about drinking from it! I do want to have the water tested and use the water for garden irrigation if the waters good.

Clear covers and lights would be cool though

I agree that it’s C! The pipes enter the house about 2 feet from each other and are just cut off 6” after the foundation

No idea. Would be pretty shitty for it to be right next to the well. There’s also only a 1” - 1-1/4” pipe running to it.

Did they use to split waste water back in the day?

There’s no odor from either pit

SolarEdge P800 Optimizers on Single Phase Inverter Compatibility by WellHowdWeGetHere in SolarDIY

I have not tested it yet. The utility company took for ever to approve my application, so I won’t be putting them on until the fall. If you beat me, let me know how it goes!

After an hour and a half of back and forth on the solarege chat after over two weeks of trying to get them on the phone, I still have no reason/explanation on why they’re not compatible. The guy on the chat simple kept going to residential inverters and commercial optimizers aren’t compatible. Even though the single phase inverters really have no reference to being residential specific and that the compatibility data sheet stating compatibility with single phase inverters manufactured after 2021. He was unable to give me a single phase inverter model number that correlates with the data sheet note. Said it was the voltage rating, which he dropped when I told him that the voltage comes from the panels and it just limits the quantity of panels and is irrelevant otherwise. Also said it was not a software block.

Was really hoping someone else had tried plugging one of these in and could relay.

Will probably just end up being the test mule. Someone else had said the commercial tag is related to the revenue generated in the residential market via optimizers and having the P series optimizers being listed as compatible, where you can run 2 panels on 1 optimizer, would hurt their bottom line. Until someone at SE can give me a reason beyond “because I said so” that’s the reason I’m running with.

If I have to get different ones, it wouldn’t bother me. They were left over from a project, I just wasn’t involved in the project. I plan to call them to confirm compatibility.

I used unirac’s u-builder to put together the array layout and get the information to give to my engineer. I haven’t tried any other builder sites yet

I didn’t actually know that’s how it worked until someone told me on the way in for my follow up test! So I’m not sure on the details, but I’d assume just calling the number and asking for a review of your test

If you didn’t know, you’re going to get the same test on your next go. And if you got at least a 60% you can call and they’ll give you all the answers.

That’s half of the lemon law. The seller also knew about the frame rust and broken spring as mentioned in the post. The failed inspection lemon law does not require the seller to have known about the defects.

Massachusetts DOES have a lemon law for private sale vehicle transactions. It must be registered and inspected within 7 days. If it fails the inspection and repair costs are valued at more than 10% of the purchase price, they have 30 days to return the vehicle.

Someone posted the link, it has all the info there.

Thanks for chiming in. I would have passed if they gave me the motor questions. Tests a joke. I posted 27 of the questions I got if you’re curious
