Solar project SF Bay Area

[Bikerscum]

**EDIT**

And duh I was wrong. I found your system literally listed as BikerScum heh
You kicked my butt with 19.156 generated today. The benefits of proper roof alignment. Your 6kw system is abusing my 7.65kw system so far

Curse you oddly shaped land plot!

That's your problem.... my system is sucking in all the sunlight in the immediate area.

The Winter solstice is Tuesday. Once the sun starts getting a little higher in the sky your system will smoke both Bikerscum's and my system.

Obviously I can't allow that to happen. I'll be talking to my neighbor about renting some of his roof space.

No need for that. Stand by. I'm working on a power factor booster that will increase array output by violating the 2d law of Thermodynamics and pull power back out of the imaginary plane instead of the other way around. Once I figure out how to get a cosine > 1.0 , or find a 4th physical dimension mutually perpendicular to the other 3, it's a done deal.

I was thinking of a diode array that would attenuate incoming AC from the grid into DC, join with my panels' DC input into the inverter, thus showing a higher AC reading at the inverter output side. Should look VERY nice on pvoutput.org

That approach is a little above my pay grade. I was just going to use mirrors to increase production.

If you want to win the pvoutput game you just need to hook your modified exercise bike to generate additional power and fudge your numbers


On a serious note i got my rain forest eagle talking to wattvision now. Consumption is streaming but looks funny without the data from solaredge.

Still waiting on that api key from installer

Also on a serious note, I did a fair amount of experimentation w/ planar mirrors and solar thermal back in the day. They help - some - but do not give as much of a boost as thought, or not as much as those with more smoke/mirrors for sale than useful product would have you believe.

Woke up today and Zigbee is down again.

Time for pocket router LAN connection

City inspection officially passed

This follow up took approx. 1 min as he walked in. Checked the AC disconnect and signed the paperwork.

Woo hoo

Time to see how fast PGE can turn around the application

Go go go

You haven't exactly been missing a whole lot of energy production these last few days.
Yesterday was my lowest ever at 3.16 kWh.

I was pretty casual about it until I realized I had exported 400kwh to the grid before I got approval. That was at the end of Nov when it was sunny but it added up fast. Good luck.

I had 3.5

Enjoy your meager, but above mine solar production while you can.
Next week my contractor will be installing my telescoping mirror array to increase my solar production by 200%.
When extended the array will be so large and reflective one could see it not only from Highway 4 but from the International Space Station.

"Meager"? If that difference continues over a year's time Sensij's going to congratulate me on buying those 4 extra panels.
