Brian Vastag<p>Um so I guess one of my microinverters from my PV system exploded? The serial number matches one of mine. The monitoring shows them all working though.

The Christian Science Monitor<p>In our progress roundup, innovators use humble ingredients to produce energy, including thermal batteries made of sand and electricity made from the wind created by jets at takeoff.

ℒӱḏɩę :blahaj:<p>Live in USA? The time to go solar is NOW.</p><p>If you have roof or ground space, you're going to want to use it. Electric rates are skyrocketing. I've had solar since 2017, so I didn't realize how high the rates are here in MD. </p><p>You don't need a wad of cash either. With the utility rates this high, even a zero-down loan or lease-to-own program can put you ahead.</p><p>Lastly, if you don't have space for solar, look into your local community solar projects and see if you can get a share.</p><p>The anti-climate idiots will try to get rid of the tax credit. So start researching now. EnergySage is a good start to help avoid scam installers. If you're local to WV panhandle, MD, PA or VA, the company I work for has exceptional ratings.</p><p>PS: Have gas or oil heating? Get a high efficiency heat pump (there are often programs to assist with the cost). You can't make gas, but you can make electricity!!</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solar</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>energy</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/prices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prices</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/potomacedison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>potomacedison</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/maryland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maryland</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/virginia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>virginia</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/westvirginia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>westvirginia</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/pennsylvania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pennsylvania</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/renewables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>renewables</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/renewableenergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>renewableenergy</span></a></p>

Kinky Kobolds<p>Trying to figure out why the set of solar panels is generating significantly less than their theoretical maximum.</p><p>We have two panels rated for 100 watts and one panel rated for 400 watts. The 100 watt panels run at 48 volts; the 400 watt panel runs at 57.6 volts. We have them combined with a 3-into-1 merger. The combination is producing only about 250 watts. Running the 400 watt panel alone is producing 350 watts, so there's something about running them together that's limiting the power production.</p><p>Anyone have any idea of what's causing the bottleneck? I feel like there's an interesting explanation but I don't know what that might be.</p><p><a href="https://meow.social/tags/SolarPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPower</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/Solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Solar</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/SolarPanels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPanels</span></a></p>
