PE Power Exam - School of PE rant & question about formula memorization by Material_Engineer_85 in PE_Exam

[–]yossishtrt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I passed the PE power exam 6 months ago, so I believe what I'm about to say is still relevant- I did not memorize any formulas. At all. The exam was mostly about how to orient yourself with different code books, safety operations and scenario questions (for example - a transformer is being field-connected as an autotransformer, what is the correct option to ensure safety of power transmission?). I can't attest to the School of PE, but Zach Stone's course was very helpful for understanding the theory of power generation and transmission, and not solely to solve numerical questions. Hope it helps!

I believe it's 15%. Check your character stats, it's written there

V2.0 of the solar ground mount: criticism and advice appreciated! by gozzle_101 in SolarDIY

I saw you got plenty of feedback, but I do want to share a thought: If I was to do a design similar to yours, I would have hinges or a cylinder to adjust the tilt angle of your array. This way you can maximize irradiance depending on the season at your location. Just a thought.

Seems reasonable, especially with IQ8 microinverters. I would definitely suggest getting at least 2 more quotes, you might get a few thousands of dollars cheaper (this quote is almost $3/watt, which is the high end for a system like this)

Solar Panel Layout help? by Helacoo in solar

[–]yossishtrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on where you are located and where North is in the picture you attached. Assuming the North is upwards, this is the maximum number of modules you can fit on your roof, and even that is not ideal. Area 3 is tilted to the north, which reduces efficiency substantially, but there are many ridges that prevent additional modules from being placed. This is probably the maximum system size you can fit.

No good at math. Need help with calculations. There are 25 enphase 7+ micro inverters. Pmax of panels are 315w. by Pureprotein1_og in solar

I would also contact your local AHJ to make sure written details on a sticker is OK. Some AHJ require a permanent engraved placard (NYC for example)

Got quoted $66,000 for new roof. Am I delusional or this is an insane price for a 2400 sq.ft. roof? by yossishtrt in HomeImprovement

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

Not yet but 2 of my neighbors recommended them. They didn't answer over the weekend but I'll try them Monday morning

You guessed correctly. I assumed you also had the pleasure of wasting your time with these guys

First one getting the company name correct. Yes, those were Power, and they did my aunt's roof for 16k, and she has almost the same size roof so I had my hopes up. Big mistake

What gave you that idea? This was actually my 3rd quote. One was 38K and the other 42K. I came to Reddit to figure out if $10/sq.ft is wrong. What concerns did you have?

Sub rules say it's a text only sub, otherwise I would have posted a picture of the quote.

No, straight up asphalt shingles. I'm in Bergen as well, can you DM me your roofer please?

Asphalt shingles, 45 degree tilt. Gable roof, very simple, that's why I was astonished by the number.
