2023.05.31 00:53 Responsible-Ad-8297 Will 360W solar panel with 300W micro inverter cause the clipping loss?
I have 22x 360W solar panels with 300W micro inverters.
During the day with the full sun, my PGE meter only receives 4.8kW while the solar monitoring app is saying that it's producing 6.3kW.
Is this because of the clipping loss?
I heard the solar panels are not able to put out the max rate, so it might put out 80 to 90% most of the time. Then, it would be 330W to 300W.
So, 6.3kW (number from the inverter monitoring app) seems to be 80% of max output.
4.8kW @ PGE meter is of course when I turn off everything at home.

2023.05.31 00:10 jasonkane4321 Flexible solar panel that is closest to demsions 45"x47" without going over?
Hi I'm looking to install a single flexible solar panel on my car roof, that fills in as much of my available space as possible. The space I have to work with is 45"x47". I want it to be a single panel so that I have less cables to deal with and to have a cleaner look. Any suggestions? Or is there a website that can show me the available panels based on my dimensions? Thanks

2023.05.30 23:52 TikiCruise How much power do I need ? From your experience, fridge and laptop, phone and lights charging, solar in scotland norway sweden
To power a 12v 60l fridge with some vegetarian stuff in it, no meat or fish, heavy cream etc, charge my phones and few camping lights, small stuff. To power starlink If I decide to go into some shithole, and here and there, maybe 1-3 times a week if conditions good some gaming or youtube on my small laptop in the evening that is supposed to be power efficient. How much power do you use ? Planning to spend time in areas such as scotland maybe sweden and norway, so conditions for solar may depend. How much battery storage do you need and how much do you think I'd need ? How many solar panels, 2x100w ? More ? What could be realistic average from your experience, I've never lived in a car, planning it. Would you purchase a station or make a DIY, what kind ? I can learn a few things and try to make it if it saves more than 15-20% and is worth it. How many solars do you realistically need maintain battery and never run, cuz fridge.
I'm progresivelly making research, but would appreciate advice on this specific scenario as I really don't know here. Most people don't seem to game, and many don't seem to stay in 1 place for long time, I want to be able to chill at 1 spot for a month if I want to. Without turning the engine on. Ideally
With the solar, is it realistic under 2000 $ ? In any way that is doable
I may spend time in those regions even when it get's colder and darker in the winter, I want to count with that. To be ready
Good thing if it's cold is that maybe I won't need to power the fridge as much, but if it's warm and the fridge takes maybe 40-50w, i fear 1000wh battery may not be alot, 20h of runtime if the panels manage to charge the battery 100%, but if they don't then it's a problem. Sorry If I made a mistake, don't understand electricity much, yet.

2023.05.30 23:30 Disastrous_Heart6683 Property line & fence debate
our neighbor built a fence that is attached to our house, my window faces her driveway. The fence starts at the end of my house and is attached to my wall. At the back of my property where the pool is located it has about 4-5 ft extra towards her property making like an L shape. She claims its in her deed and she gave us a copy but it has nothing bout the fence. I’m looking into getting a land surveyor. Recently she had solar panels installed and my window is broken. Is it legal for the fence to be attached to my house?

2023.05.30 23:25 ponte95ma "After talking to a co-worker who cycled to work, he decided to try it. He never looked back." (NYT)
Today's twice-weekly "Climate Forward" newsletter from
The New York Times featured Tom "Entitled Cyclist" Morash:
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/30/climate/entitled-cyclist.html Full article text below.
Someone to Know: The Entitled Cyclist
He’s trying to show that it really is possible to get out of your car, even in Los Angeles.
- by Manuela Andreoni
Traffic jams might be the worst part of the day to many of you. Today, I want to introduce you to Tom Morash, an Angeleno who got tired of sitting in his car and decided to grab a bike instead.
Now Morash, also known as the Entitled Cyclist, is on a mission to show that biking can be possible, even pleasant, in places that seem to be designed only for cars.
The name is his ironic response to that small group of angry drivers who complain that bikes are taking over the roads. He uses Twitter, Instagram and YouTube to document his daily adventures. I wanted to talk to him because, like many of you, he lives in a city where public transportation is often inadequate.
For a long time, he felt that cars were his only means to get around. His journey away from car dependence is full of lessons.
Morash is a 41-year-old lighting programmer who works in the film and TV industry in Los Angeles, where he has lived for some 16 years. When he first arrived, he used to take his car everywhere, like most Angelenos. But the city’s traffic jams soon crushed any desire to drive.
After talking to a co-worker who cycled to work, he decided to try it. He never looked back. Now he always cycles the 12 miles or so that take him to most of his jobs.
Yes, cycling can be scary, he acknowledges. Drivers cut him off, text at the wheel, exceed the speed limit, open their doors without looking and park in the bike lane. “But I can’t imagine choosing to be in a car,” he said.
Like many cyclists, Morash said he was disappointed that bikes and public transportation are all but forgotten in the federal government’s plan to transition away from fossil fuels.
Morash said it drove him crazy when President Biden posed for a picture sitting in a 9,000-pound electric Hummer. (As my colleague Elena Shao showed, an enormous electric vehicle like that produces more emissions than a small combustion-engine car.)
“We’re just changing one problem for a possibly slightly better problem,” he said.
Instead of encouraging people to buy a different kind of car, he said, cities should build better bike lanes, make public transportation free and establish more bike-sharing services.
Most of all, city planners should be thinking about how to make cycling safer. It’s why he started filming all of his journeys and posting some of his close encounters online. On top of raising awareness, the videos give him a tool to try to hold people accountable for dangerous driving.
Because of careless drivers and inadequate infrastructure, Morash acknowledges, bikes are not a solution for everyone. He and his wife own a small electric car, mostly powered by the solar panels on their roof. She usually takes it to pick up their 7-year-old son from school when Morash is at work. When a child is involved, he says that the calculations around tolerable risks are different.
He filmed it when a pickup truck hit him with its passenger-side mirror and broke his arm seven years ago. He was cycling the 13 miles back home after working a Friday at the Sony Pictures Studio in Culver City. It was 1 a.m., a time he calls “drunk o’clock.” The driver never stopped, and he said the police declined to pursue an investigation, even though he had video.
It took him six weeks to recover. He couldn’t exercise, and he gained around 10 pounds. He had to drive everywhere. “Mentally I was in a bad place,” he said. “It really reminded me of why I bike.”
Still, he recommends that people try, starting with short journeys in areas where they feel safe.
He found that bikes can actually be a lot more efficient than cars. First, cycling often gets Morash to his destination twice as fast as driving on overcrowded roads, especially when using an electric bike. Second, it keeps him fit. He doesn’t need to find the time to exercise beyond biking. Third, he said riding around in a city with beautiful weather feels great.
Drivers may think their cars mean freedom, Morash said. But really, at least in cities like Los Angeles, they spend a lot of time just stuck in gridlock.
“I feel like the bike is the freedom machine,” he said. A car, on the other hand, is like a massive rock. “It really tethers you in a way that you don’t even see sometimes.”

2023.05.30 23:07 ForMyHat 488g solar panel or 415g battery?
I know it's not ultralight. I'd just bring a lightweight dumb phone if that were the case. This is for a 7 person group on a 3 day hike.
I just want to recharge my watch and maybe my phone a bit because I'm a video person but all those grams for either choice kinda breaks my heart... I looked into hand powered chargers but couldn't find one that can actually charge phones (because of the steady power requirement to charge most phones).

2023.05.30 22:58 torpedolife Running conduit for solar?
I ordered solar panels for the hillside behind my house and I am waiting on approval. In the meantime, I am having some concrete replaced in my backyard around where my main panel is and I would like to run some conduit under ground so the solar guys can connect to my panel easily later on.
- Does the conduit need to be buried a certain depth?
- What type of conduit is necessary for this?
- Anything else I should know?
Thanks

2023.05.30 22:33 CurryGoddess Rolling Kitchen Island
Crate and Barrel rolling kitchen island. It has 2 sides that fold out for a larger working space, a drawer perfect for utensils or odds and ends, and 2 shelves for storage. This cart is sturdy and great in the kitchen or as a craft station; I used it to make candles. The top would benefit from a light sanding and rub down with some oil. This model is no longer produced, but similar carts retail for anywhere from $400-800.
I am asking $200 or best offer.
Will consider trade for: Nintendo switch games, solar panels, solar generator, or similar items
Thanks!

2023.05.30 21:45 WoodenAcanthaceae777 Question: trickle chargers
Can a solar trickle charger (designed for vehicle, marine, etc)... could be wired in series if you have multiple solar panels. The panels I have are three 12 volt panels but have a different wattage output. These panels all have the same positive and negative wire (+,-) any suggestions will help no matter how elaborate. Thanks.

2023.05.30 20:50 Sunny_bearr48 Contributing factors to “low voltage”?
Hello :) I’m trying to conceptually understand factors that contribute to an error message that means low voltage. I’m providing details but if other factors need to be added, pls lmk.
I am working with a power system I installed in my van. The input is 400watts of solar panels through a 40amp charge controller into 300aH lithium phosphate battery bank. There are positive and negative bus bars to an inverter for AC and a fuse block for DC.
The appliance in question is my fridge. It has a DC outlet cord and an AC outlet cord. When I use the DC outlet cord, it works during the day. The screen will read between 12-14v and temperature stays in my target range. However, later in the day this voltage drops into the 9-11v range and will read F1 which the manual says is low voltage. When I use the AC outlet cord, there is no issue so far.
Can you help me understand factors that would contribute to intermittent low voltage? I’m not sure if time of day / solar input is relevant. We are getting a lot of sun and the battery level is always over 70%. The fridge is the only load on its circuit. It has a 10a fuse that is not blown. i used 14awg wire with ring terminals to the fuse block and plug terminals to the dc outlet.
TIA! I really appreciate any leads on things to research bc most important to me is understanding a gap or vulnerability in my setup. The fridge works on AC but my brain wants to know why not DC?

2023.05.30 20:48 theoriginalgiga Need help finding solar panels for my RV that'll fit my requirements
I have a need for solar on my RV. I know they make 12v solar panels but I need something above 38v instead of the 20v VOC they have as my inverter charger needs a minimum of 150v (an EG4 3000ehv). I was hoping someone might be able to point me to a solar panel that's narrower than 36" wide, I could fudge up to 39", something that does above 38v VOC and hopefully something above 200w per panel. Any suggestions on brands/models would be super helpful! My goal is 1600w on my trailer and I'd like to run 2 strings in parallel.

Hello Folks, with the $40,000 0 interest loan available now, really does seem like this may be a solid opportunity to look into the solar panel setup on the house. We have a great sized south and sw facing roof that gets direct sunlight for 9+ hours everyday so hoping for good numbers. Does anyone have any recommendations or horror stories for Solar companies in NS? I am specifically looking for ColchesteCumberland but it also seems that most HRM companies will travel so anyone really!
