🚨BREAKING: Farmers are reportedly finding unexplained boxes full of ticks on their farmland, clearly left there on purpose.

Bill Gates has funded research into genetically modified ticks. Since the research was conducted, over 450,000 Americans report red meat allergies caused by tick bites.

This is very similar to the system I installed for a neighbor this past winter.

Well, it's officially been one year since the electric company removed our lines and meter from our house. We live in the middle of a city, have a swim spa, and an electric car. Guys, it can be done and works quite well. We had a total of 2 days that we had to resort to turning the generator on when we had some house guests that were at our house while we were away. They were cold so they plugged in 2 oil heaters in December because they didn't understand our pellet stove. Other than that snafoo we have not changed much of our lives. The only addition I am doing is adding 230v UK power to our system because my mother is moving in with us from the UK and she wants to be able to use all her kitchen appliances and other electric things she has. I managed to get a Victron 5000w 230v Quatro shipped in. I'm trying to keep it short but we have managed to survive with 14Kw of solar, 130kw of battery storage, 2 10,000w Victron Quatro inverters in split phase, and 2 Victron 450/200 MPPT solar chargers. It was an experiment gone very very right. We installed the system ourselves and with the help of NAZ solar we haven't had any issues.

When you find the exact color rattle can paint that Victron uses...

Holy cow I love this.... neighbor's system... the sun hasn't even come in front of the panels yet and he's making 22.5kw... 13kw into battery, 7kw into EV, running the house and RV. 55 minutes until the car is full.

THe other neighbor's system... his panels are nearly horizontal and so the sun is directly on them right now... he's making all the power he can right now... 13kw. For this system, the panels are so flat we had to overpanel by a factor of 2 to make his production in winter... so he's got 26kw of panels connected to 13kw of MPPT chargers.

...and finally my system isn't making full power yet because the sun isn't yet in front of the panels... but I'm making 11kw right now. By solar noon I'll be making 22kw.

Did you ever put your thumb over the end of a water hose to make the water spray further? If you let the water free flow out the end of the hose, it might fall 6 inches in front of your foot. There's no pressure, the water is just spilling out the end of hte hose. If you clamp your thumb on too tightly and it sprays out in a fine mist that really doesn't go anywhere.... Now the pressure is too high and we get no flow. but we all know there's a sweet spot that you can optimize the amount of water spraying and the distance it travels.

And that my friends is how a MPPT solar battery charger works. it diddles with the amount of amps from the panels (water flow) and squeezes it off a little to make hte pressure higher (Voltage)... and optimizes for the maximum watts (how far water travels from the end of hte hose)

Built Like a Bunker: How LFP Batteries Blew It Apart. LFP batteries do not burn vigorously but they may spooge out electrolyte and off gas hydrogen in a failure mode. Under normal circumstances they do NOT offgas like lead acid. Anyway, this video is very informative.

These solar systems keep getting bigger... three 27kw AC coupled inverters for a total of 81kw of AC from sun. 280panels 162kw of panels so they are overpanelled 2:1 like Thomas and I do. Inside they have 180kva of inverters and 288kwh of batteries. Payback period is 6 years.
