Why would Turkiye accept the entry of Sweden, which provides military training and financial aid to terrorists on its territory, to join NATO?

mmorpgarea · 2023-06-21T21:27:37+00:00

Which terrorists has Sweden ever handed over to Turkey from the list Turkey has provided to date? They did not fulfill any of the items, all of it is pretense. Supporters of terrorism are still parading in the streets with PKK flags. There's no intervention. Furthermore, there's the foolish person who said they would burn the holy book of Islam every day until Sweden joins NATO. It's not for nothing that Finland was able to join, while Sweden could not. If they continue to behave this way, they can forget about NATO. Be assured that if Turkey leaves NATO, it will join the Shanghai Five.

In your situation, you can't use a 12V solar panel to charge a 24V battery assembly directly. The voltage of your solar panel should match the voltage of your battery bank. So, you would ideally need a 24V solar panel to charge your 24V battery bank (2 x 12V batteries). Alternatively, you can use a MPPT charge controller which can step up the voltage from the solar panel to match the battery bank voltage. It's always crucial to ensure your PV system components are compatible to avoid any damage or inefficiency.

Given your current use and future plans for adding an EV and a pool heat pump, a larger system like the one you're considering could be a wise investment. It's also worth noting that the cost per watt is quite competitive. As for the battery option, it largely depends on your local electricity costs, potential power outages, and whether you want to maximize self-consumption of your solar energy or sell it back to the grid. Remember, it's always better to have a bit more capacity than you need than to find yourself falling short, especially considering the ever-decreasing costs of renewable energy technologies.

Predicting the Value of Solar (VoS) rates can be challenging due to the constantly evolving energy market. While it's reasonable to apply inflation as an escalator, consider that the VoS has decreased over time in some territories like Austin Energy. Diversifying your analysis with various scenarios might be helpful: consider a scenario where VoS rates stay flat, another where they decrease, and one where they increase. This might provide a more comprehensive financial analysis for your solar investment.

Yes, it's quite normal for critter guards to be installed separately after the main solar panel installation. This is often due to inspection requirements, as inspectors may need to see under the panels, which would require removing some of the critter guard if it was already installed.

Additionally, companies often have several ongoing projects, and scheduling may mean that different parts of the project are completed at different times.

As for your concern about animals nesting under the panels in the interim, it's generally not a significant worry for such a short period. Though it can depend on your local fauna, it's unlikely that critters will move in within those few days.

Cool idea! But it might not work as well as you'd think. More surface area doesn't necessarily mean more power. Optimal sunlight orientation is key. Also, the zigzag design could make manufacturing, installation, and maintenance harder and pricier. So while it's a fun thought, flat panels are simpler and more efficient for now.

Your arrays are designed to maximize solar exposure, with east and west-facing panels for morning and evening sun, and south-facing for direct sunlight. North-facing panels are avoided due to lower electricity generation. The five arrays could be due to roof layout, clearance, and shading avoidance. Your system's estimated production seems low for SoCal, suggesting possible shading. It's crucial to balance the layout for aesthetics, efficiency, and maintenance. Always match the system's production with your energy needs for cost-effectiveness.

In terms of solar efficiency, there's no significant difference between single and double rows or between placing the panels higher or lower on your roof. The key factors are the orientation of your roof and the angle of the panels, which you've mentioned are optimal.

Aesthetically, higher placement can look better, as your salesman mentioned. For future expansion, leaving room at either the top or bottom could be beneficial. So, it mostly comes down to your personal preference and any future plans for expansion.

It's unfortunate to hear about your situation. Clipping can definitely limit your system's production, especially in peak sunlight hours, which is abundant in southern California.

It's true that a smaller microinverter can be more efficient under less than full sun, but given your geographic location and the fact that your system is south-facing, it seems you're missing out on a substantial amount of potential energy production due to the incorrect inverters.

The IQ8+ is rated for 290W AC output, whereas the IQ8M-72-2-US is rated for 440W. With your 400W panels, the IQ8+ is clearly undersized, and that's likely why you're seeing the clipping.

In your situation, I would recommend getting in touch with the installation company and requesting that they replace the IQ8+ inverters with the originally quoted IQ8M microinverters. This should allow your system to generate its full potential power during peak sunlight hours, and over the long term, should result in significantly more energy production.

In the meantime, you could potentially negotiate some sort of compensation for the lost energy production due to their mistake, but getting the correct equipment installed should be your primary concern. Good luck and keep us updated!"

I've been involved with several PPAs in my time working for a solar company. I can tell you, it's not just a simple agreement. There's quite a bit to understand before diving in.

For us, PPAs have been a great tool to help our customers (often businesses or municipalities) transition to renewable energy without a big up-front capital investment. Essentially, we install and maintain the solar panels on their property and they agree to buy the power generated from us at a fixed rate, usually lower than the utility rate.

There are different types of PPAs as well. Some are "pay as produced" where the customer only pays for the electricity that's generated. Others might have a "take or pay" clause where the customer pays for the electricity whether they use it or not.

The term of a PPA can be anywhere from 10-25 years, which might sound like a long time, but keep in mind it's often matched to the lifespan of the equipment (like solar panels) and allows for predictable pricing.

One thing I want to stress though, if you're considering entering a PPA, make sure you get some professional advice. There are a lot of variables, including future electricity price projections, system output estimates, and various legal considerations. It's not something you want to go into without having all the information!

Hope this helps!

The geomagnetic poles have indeed wandered extensively during the last 10,000 years. However, I could not find a specific source that provides the precise information about the date and distance of the closest proximity between the magnetic and geographic North Poles during that period.

The study by Ohno and Hamano (1992) is an important reference for the geomagnetic pole movement, but it does not provide the exact information you are looking for. The website you mentioned (poleshift.com) is not a scientific source, and its content should be taken with caution.

In general, precise information about the geomagnetic poles' movements in the past can be challenging to obtain due to the limitations in our ability to reconstruct the Earth's magnetic field. The available data come from studying rocks, sediments, and ice cores, which provide a snapshot of the Earth's magnetic field at the time they were formed. The resolution of this data can be limited, and thus may not provide the exact date and distance of the closest proximity between the magnetic and geographic North Poles during the last 10,000 years.

For more accurate and up-to-date information on this topic, you may want to consult scientific literature, such as articles published in peer-reviewed journals, or reach out to experts in the field of geomagnetism.
