RE: Adding storage after panels are installed

Are you happy with the panel install? Is there some limitation you perceive on them that they can not handle adding storage? Generally speaking, when you contract "someone' for a job and the job is "good", you stick with them. But can you jump rafts in the rapids... sure.. ------------------------------ ...

The rule book went went out the door long ago. One must remember, both sides want the same end for us ALL and is being orchestrated by CW. They just take two different paths to get there at two different rates. But the end is the same. AS was stated so well in "Hunger Games", a little hope is a good ...

Yes, the "call for action" is basically useless under these specific circumstances. The problem is massive criminality and law breaking and it has gone unchallenged because the DOJ under Barr from 2016 fourth (Plus the SC) set all the pieces in place for it to be so, and has backing by all the wealth ...

Very true. What I have learned over time is that if business is involved, than it will not be spared any of the crap that goes on in the world of business. In short, just because it is Solar and Renewable Energy, does no give it some kind of protection from corruption. ------------------------------ ...

Yes, most want grid connectivity because of the stability it creates. If you had only to rely on the "current owner" to make sure power is provided, across the boards it would be a messy landscape. You have the greatest stability when you have grid connectivity and off grid capable. Keeping millions ...

For once I believe I pretty much agree with you. The hard unapproachable truth is that as long man has the currency construct, we are F'd. That is a crude way to put it, but it is correct. And to clarify, I am not saying money is the root of all evil. That expresses causality incorrectly. However my ...

I might have sampled that vid before, not sure. Good for all the basics covering load reduction. It is wise that he avoided total cost. Quad glass! I will be using Hight R tri - pane fib windows with special coating and gas and high R tracked insulation shades, and just the material cost on that is over ...

Ya. Its one of those that had its look in the sun, so to speak. KISS and preferably not moving (PV) are ideal guidelines. Things that move at a high rate of speed demand accelerating precision as the speed increases. At the opposite end of the kinetic scale is filling rail cars with heavy ore and powering ...

Hi: Noticing conversations on IR tech and R-value dead zones. A middle ground solution between moving you hand along a stud space width, is an ordinary IR laser thermometer. Extremely cost effect. I would place it as a hybrid solution between full IR vid exposure and the old fashion "touch" temp identification. ...

Very nice. Stable. In real-estate it is location, location, location. In housing its insulation, insulation and insulation. It is a shame that the building codes are so far short of these parameters, because it is the codes that drives the 99% of the NEW created housing. Builders build as fast as ...

Yes toys. Great for kids. That and Science museums are the best.. Played with all kinds of Science toys literally before you were born. Made my own toys along with building a CO2 10W laser from scratch when I was 14 or 15 yrs old, just one example. I was very lucky growing up to have my own science lab ...

Its not an expression. It was two words I put together in the instant, coupled with the degree of concept that expressed a possible outcome. Generally when I write a pair of words, I don't Google it to see if someone has tried to coin it, and have no desire to start the practice. There are many ...

Nothing new Tim. Nylon braded silicone temp independent hose highly flexible, has been around a long time. I use it myself in certain situations. Its just another tool in the box, no magic Bullet. Long duration use rate. Seasonal variation exists and most likely for a very long time. There's no magic. ...

There are many differences between the then of Carter and the now of the Squatter. To distill down, I think the main focus will be that the damage will be more USA centered, while the rest of the less addicted oil world moves ahead, and leaves the USA behind in all aspects. On a different issue, the ...

I think one must take the case by case basic, when it comes to RE systems. Ironically, I think the same logic connectiveness that separates fuel base cars (ICE) from Electric base cars (EV's), that are inherent differences between fuel supplied energy and direct energy, are the same differences that ...

To keep this short which I will fail at, you mention in ST allot of issues but gloss over the frequencies and related problems that they create. Fluid leaks are not just fluid leaks from pipes, so fix pipe. The damage that CAN result from said leak can be extensive. Pumps can last decades, but I have ...

I tend to dislike general conclusions, most given for convince and expediency reasons, understandability. Solar thermal really is a case by case decision. An example. A commercial laundromat is an excellent usage given the right site and building parameters for solar thermal. A classic case of "size ...
