...lol.. looking for a loop hole to double dip hey... Principal or PRIMARY is kind of the interpretation. Putting "games" aside, one always has a primary residence over "the other".

Yes, and all this has been known since 1970. And yet here we are today. Ukraine being annihilated and women and children being blow to pieces. Profit being made every step of the way for that process. Planned obsolescence. Nothing new there. And it will continue and get worse under the re-emerging ...

This whole that follows, was triggered by Ella's Fronius reference fire article below. I have a Fronius string inverter. Its an 11.5KW single phase unit. I really like their products. However, the DER program that PPL was able to get the PUC and related "bodies" to sign off on, requires extra burden ...

When I first read this, I was not going to comment, because it gave me a headache. However upon further reflection I thought I would just a say a SHORT couple of things. It really has nothing to do with models or model numbers, IE, the problem. It really goes to the basic of series, parallel or series-parallel ...

It was nice to see where I live (Central PA) they got in the 90% coverage range, although most of the state was endowed with cloud cover. Its not totality, but it is a decent amount crescenting of the sun. A guy from the Kia dealership over in Williamsport was showing me his phone picks he got through ...

Well that is kind of a no brainer, YES! If you have doubts, just read California Burning by Katherine Blunt. That should remove any question regarding the effectiveness of regulated monopolies. ------------------------------ william fitch Owner www.WeAreSolar.com ------------------------------

Does it effect PV production? Of course. SO does cloud cover, nighttime, component failure, etc.. Now does the eclipse have a real "dent" in a sunny days production? Not really. But, did the totality effect me? That would be an indescribable YES: Just a couple of shots. I am going to write an ...

"the temperature fluctuations diurnal, between day time and night time lets one know that at least the Sun is still about it's job heating up our beloved planet." Ok.

Couldn't resist. Such a "view" (IE the scale and associated judgements) is extremely siloed vision.. The social history of man under currency and the likability of war for power and profit, will not go away until currency is gone. It is simple fact. A far simpler "casting" for human judgement as primitive ...

Yes, I had seen part 3, not part 1. From a product sales and promotion perspective, I would love to see one of these in a heavily looking urban area, right in the middle of the city if you wish.

The villager looks like it is a ~2-3 sun cooker. A guess of course. They claim 500 DegF. , that seems high for 2-3 sun but maybe in a best case scenario. They do have very think insulation around it which of course matters. Solar cookers are great in direct sun environments, and with its large aperture ...
