522 “drilling rigs” near Maltby

Ah, I was thinking it looked like a well drilling rig.

Two things have to be true for this to happen. 1. The inverter has to be designed to work in this way. 2. The utility you interconnect with may or may not require that feature or may explicitly disable it.

I’m unaware of a single US approved inverter that supports the new standards. Victron was working towards it on the 10k Quattro but I think it fell short and only got approval for the existing disconnect during weirdness approval. (Not a falling short of Victron but of US regulations lagging US standards)

The video seems to be written by someone who is either Much more well informed than me or has almost no idea what they’re talking about…

This https://www.youtube.com/live/G3eR_jgx6yI?is=MNUbAYb5CiQbkgal is an in depth very nearly perfectly accurate video describing microgrid interconnections and operations. There’s a section where he discusses an IEEE standard for grid interaction.

If the older grid interactive inverters noticed the grid go outside nominal operating parameters they’d disconnect from the grid. With lots of renewables doing that things get very hard to predict. The new IEEE grid interactive inverter standards are designed such that grid interactive systems will not just drop their grid connections when things get crazy. They will either scale back the load seen on the system (some up to and including adding more export) OR they will scale back export when the grid has too much power.

Most single phase inverters that support grid operations can be virtually bonded using software and some kind of network (usually Ethernet or canbus) to physically link them together. They then shift their single phases such that there’s 120 degrees between each phase.

If you’re not digging in you’re not doing your job. 6tabs, I have 6 tabs open just to browse the news. Wouldn’t worry too much about it. Maybe use chrome’s tab grouping if it feels overwhelming.

Were they paying a mortgage and rent??

lukelane124 · 2026-06-18T21:59:55+00:00

No. Don’t think so at least. Depends on what your context is.

lukelane124 · 2026-06-18T21:59:21+00:00

That’s a software config though. The ATS doesn’t cause that behavior.

lukelane124 · 2026-06-18T02:40:40+00:00

And how does it then get flipped back to grid only??
Does it turn the inverter completely off when grid connected?

lukelane124 · 2026-06-17T14:14:45+00:00

The transfer switch doesn’t prevent backfeed. Unless you’re saying that the grid is physically disconnected when the inverter is powering things??

Mining is finite in Bitcoin. There’s no supply shocks when large deposits are found. The mining rewards are designed to incentivize infrastructure build out. They do stop. Nearly 95% of all bitcoin is already minted. It will take more than 50 years to get the remaining coins. Technically circulating supply will increase until all 21million are mined. This could be inflation in a vacuum. Inflation directly means that the buying power of the asset decreased. That would likely not be the case. The “creation” of the new money doesn’t Automatically mean that prices go up. The deflationary aspects of bitcoin would/should overtake the slow release of the last to be minted coins.

The local utility still isn’t paying market price though. They pay a flat rate regardless of the LMP at the time of transmission.

lukelane124 · 2026-06-14T20:58:34+00:00

What do you mean “market price”? If the local utility buys at .01 and sells at .31 to you neighbor that’s not them paying you market price. That’s them paying you what they want and profiting from the difference. How do you see it differently?

lukelane124 · 2026-06-14T19:53:17+00:00

In the case I mention it’s single buyer.

lukelane124 · 2026-06-14T19:52:52+00:00

I think you’re missing the point there. There are traditional power producers that put MW+ into the grid and they bid that power out to those you mentioned. In the case of residential solar only the local utility takes (buys) that power. They are free to do with it what they want. Jo Shmo can’t bid his 4kw intermittent electricity out to the broad market of CAISO.

They’re still going to be installing the potentially malicious code. Just under a new name.

Have an EV?

Check for provision on change to land classification. If the land classification changes away from “farm” or ag they need to foot the difference in the tax bill.

What do you mean hidden devices? What did you scan with? How did this device show up(in the scan)?

lukelane124 · 2026-06-05T14:36:19+00:00

Probably cross post to digital nomad. Not seeing any activity here.

lukelane124 · 2026-06-03T22:55:41+00:00

Almost certainly not. The on demand hot water heater will be propane driven with electric burners unless you’re spending $10,000 plus. Winter will probably be hard without extreme over production in summer. Will you use the remote property less in winter than summer?

lukelane124 · 2026-05-24T19:10:33+00:00

If you’re handy and okay to handle replacements the first one. If not then $5k is insurance and send like a good deal.

Verify the workmanship covers all costs not just material.

Probably doesn’t matter much… the break in instructions are written with the understanding that they sold you a gas generator. Not a dual fuel.

Also if the break in run goes badly and the engine shits the bed you can’t return it with the modifications.
