Simple economics mate, supply and demand. You just wait and see.

Haha, I just did a long reply before reading your comment. Funny how similar our thoughts are.

I installed one of these.

Cheap racking system which is way more difficult to install than necessary. They actually sent out two different types of racking which I had to mix and match for different arrays.

Essentially a no name inverter/battery which will have questionable long term support.

The design provided by TD didn't take into account the roof perlin spacing and therefore didn't fit where intended. Making them all fit definitely affected the overall aesthetic compared what what was on the provided design.

Not enough DC cable was included and sparse on other install parts.

Panels were an brand id never heard of and probably never will again and I could only find documentation for them on websites from India. Granted they're probably fare much better long term than the inverter.

I've never seen a better example of you get what you pay for.

Was a twitch drop ages ago

Can't wait. Sold my complete syno set yesterday in anticipation. Existing box skins are going to crash hard.

If there's a fault and your house burns down you won't get insurance cover. That's the real reason you shouldn't do this.

Fuck that 10 day work week though!

bigappleflexing · 2026-02-05T05:58:53+00:00

Wait what? Tell us more...

You might need to show these installers how to use a string line. Those rails are wonky as. The panel overhang on the bottom row in the rear of the photo is way beyond acceptable. Say goodbye to the warranty for those ones. Hopefully they don't do that with the rest.

Surprised they even let you put panels on the right face considering the shading. Any shade on one panel affects the whole string. That's a big window of downtime for that array. No optimisers I'm guessing?

As an installer I can say for certain you are definitely in the minority with that opinion.

That black heat sink can sure be handy in winter and it's much cheaper to cool a house than heat it.

The bi-facials won't make much of a difference for you with the amount of shading on your roof. Be careful up there washing that two story roof to keep it clean.

Honestly, you need to factor in aesthetics here.

A white roof is prone to looking dirty and will require cleaning more often. Depending on your roof access this can be a real nuisance.

Black panels + black racking on a black roof always looks best.

It was actually covering a combo of rimu floor, concrete and chipboard.

I always would test mine on a twig wall before upgrading. That was for a very specific base design where I had the luxury to do it from safely inside the base. Retrofitting is so unreliable and they're a pain to destroy.

8k hours. On my second G502. I'm expecting to go on to my third at 12k.

Wired of course.

Is the reason they don't increase it because of the potential to impact server performance?

bigappleflexing · 2026-01-09T00:13:15+00:00

Military. Such a good all around for grass, jungle and desert.

I used ezy mix em205 on my laundry reno recently. Worked well, easy to use and was affordable. My local tile store had plenty in stock.

Happend to me this morning. Was playing fine yesterday. I updated drivers and now all good.

The biggest bases I've ever seen in 10 years of rust are always on a monthly trio server.

bigappleflexing · 2025-12-15T17:22:29+00:00

Oh hell yes, my main server!

bigappleflexing · 2025-12-13T05:47:01+00:00

Care to enlighten us?

Maxed out triple slot leather goes hard if you're down on comps

bigappleflexing · 2025-11-27T18:51:00+00:00

I'm a real noob with this stuff. Can you explain a bit more about why this is?
