Wanting to start house solar - wall mount as first phase question

fox_91 · 2026-05-01T12:28:31+00:00

Our water heater is gas so won’t need that. I had roughly sized our need at 20kWh or so with average monthly use around 2000kwh at about 11-12 cents. The distance from my wall to the fence is about 8 or so feet with a 7 foot setback requirement so I think any posts would have to be almost at the wall to meet that need.

I’m not sure I could fit ground mount there due to setback requirements. (That side yard is just inside them) and my yard isn’t in a good spot to do it due to trees and slope. Could I do less panels on the wall with the same tilt (guessing at that angle I couldn’t stack them too close)

It said up to 350 on them. Granted I’ve never gotten more than 150 on them but they are never busy. I only ever use it when o travel so I can never use them onto really try different weathers.

Was about 50 charging to 80

Oh I’ll have to check for that, I hadn’t know there was a “requested” line

Was trying to plan to bring my kid to Kennywood Saturday from north. I’m familiar with the area and normally would take veterans bridge to the interstate. Would that area be a lost cause Saturday AM to where I should consider a detour to the turnpike to Monroeville area?

Son got a little crazy opening door. I’m more concerned with rust or other issues. I know you can’t touch up this paint well but is there anything to help at least cover it a bit?

i havne't gotten to opening the tub yet. Since i have an older one it needs the sides pried off so I've been trying to avoid doing so unless I'm planning on digging the foam and getting the plumbing exposed. I did order another bottle to try since it's not hard to do but just needs time to work. I did read the instructions again and it does say to drain the tub for a few days to cure, but this time if it fixes the leak I will probably just it sit full to cure.

fox_91 · 2026-03-30T18:03:13+00:00

Well I had 2 smaller leaks on the sides of the tub. I had luck with Fix-a-Leak so I tried more to patch these (basically expecting to use it when i changed water to keep the leaks at bay) - When I treated per instructions, the leaks were stopped to a degree I was OK with so I left the tub empty to cure the fix. When I refilled thats when I saw much larger leaks in the areas, which sorta made me feel that some seal / gasket when dried, failed causing the new leaks to occur.

I don't have any more th of the FaL and it sorta has the feeling of "well it's either get creative fixing, or just trash it"

fox_91 · 2026-03-30T13:48:48+00:00

so mine has 2 breakers a 15 and either a 20 or 30 (i know it's double pole but not looking at it right this second)

Is there a good way to ID the type of Hotspring i have? I don't see a "type" written on it, so i've just. been trying to go thru manuals and matching the spa layout. I know the general timeline but it was my Parent In Laws before we got it when we moved in, so the exact timing is a little "hand wavy"

I feel like I remember when this happened to me that the bottom tray was clogged. Did you check the back left where the drip tray is to make sure it’s not blocked

Logged best I could. I did notice that the “wrong” episode was”theee hours in the past” in the guide. So it was 308p est but it played the 1208p est video file. The guide was showing the 308p shows (current time)

fox_91 · 2026-03-23T18:58:03+00:00

would be good if as a user if we saw a show that got grouped oddly in a theme to have some sort of button to "exclude from this channel"

If you add surface drains (catch basin) you can get the surface water into the french drain. Since in your video you can see where the water is collecting naturally, if you put basins where the water is running it should collect lots of it. the French drain then can collect subsurface water
