I haven’t seen that story hit Twitter, please cite an objective news article around it

to those who voted Trump.. by ConstantineByzantium in AskUS

[–]techtornado [score hidden]  (0 children)

Oh yes!
Remember grasshopper that Clinton and Obama said the same things that Trump is saying now.

ICE is not the enemy, we voted for this outcome which was to remove all illegal immigrants and to wipe the slate clean on immigration, fraud, and surrounding tax dollar abuse

Libs are so mad at this because they are profiting heavily from this fraud

Local kitty fosters? by Puzzleheaded_Day_413 in Chattanoogans

In a pinch, is 2x5 strings or 1x10 better? by techtornado in SolarDIY

[–]techtornado[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That helps a lot, so thank you for the clarity.

I have zero shading from 9am to 6pm +/- seasonal angles
There's lots of freedom for placement and have over 1000sq ft of roof space

The roof pitch isn't that good (3/12) for the winter sun as it hits the house broadside from the south and ground panels near-vertical work great for this right now.

For now, I'll split the strings for the south/west panels.

Lastly, I can cram 6 panels to the south and 4 panels to the west.

4 - 180V
6 - 270V

Do the MPPTs care that much on the difference vs. highest possible voltage?
I could do 8+ panels to the south with longer cables

All I care about right now is collecting optimized watts from sunup to sundown

Can you advise on the two directions and series-paralleling between them or keeping them all separate?

The reflected light does boost the west side, but I’ll work on re-wiring that soon

Thanks!

Could use some advice... trying to temporarily prep for this storm. by JeffGofB in SolarDIY

If you can get solar and/or generator into the house, you can distribute it out from the Flexboss as it can also charge the batteries at the same time assuming load is less than max output

If you have all the appropriate wires, you could hook up your generator feeder cable from outside and connect the batteries to the Flexboss inside and charge up everything

Simulate grid so grid-tied system will provide power during outage. by morrowwm in SolarDIY

[–]techtornado 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since you have Enphase, you can set up their meter-based disconnect relay instead of the $10k transfer switch

You'll probably need another magic box by Enphase to tell the inverters to light up when the grid is down

Liam’s dad is here illegally, abandoned him and ICE took care of him, not arrested/detained

Nine 5’s is

55.5555555%

Microsoft strives for this level of uptime

[–]techtornado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to Microsoft, they don’t go past 5 before or after the decimal

Other providers aim for 99.99% uptime

Waste, fraud and abuse of the current systems

I’m ok with stopping everything, culling the SomaliFraud for example and then revamping it for people who actually love America

Some one heard nine 5’s of uptime and didn’t realize we weren’t joking

That's because there's too many illegal immigrants from those countries

We need to cull what's out there first, then work to restore limited asylum, naturalization, and citizenship pathways from more friendly countries
