That is really neat!

Why is it pulling from the grid when you produce more than you consume? Seems like you won't have any problems topping off the battery without buying power.

When you kick on something on that uses a lot of power (my hot water heater as an example) that initial hit the outside power kick it on then the array takes over.

Ok. So how much did this whole setup cost you? And do you think it will save you enough to warrant it?

After tax incentives 29k. It will take about 18 years IF they dont up rates. Unlikely. We buy an have butchered 1 cow, 2 lambs and one hog and put them in the freezers. If for whatever reason we lose power for a couple of days and lose what we have in the freezer its a substantial financial hit. So the solar has a dual function dramatically reduce power bill and peace of mind for food storage.

So how many years will it take for you to break even?

Ok cool. The panels should last 25+ years. The battery, probably not.

No battery as of yet does. This looks promising for storage.

I hope it gets developed.

Ohh German panels, South Korean battery and Israeli power controls.

By the time your LG wears out, there should be far better and cheaper options available.

Yes, back at MOBOT today. Last few weekends it was cool and I had the flannel jacket on. Today was well over 80 degrees and I was wondering why the heck I hadn't worn shorts. Also very crowded with the good weather . . . no lakeshot today as I could not find an open bench nearby. The peaceful bench from the previous two weekends had an occupant. On the plus side, apparently she could see me!! Unusual day when I am actually visible. Downside was, when she did see me, she gave me the stinkiest of stinkeyes I think I have encountered in ages. Considered briefly whether to sit on the edge of the bench anyway, then decided my life might be in danger, so I moved on. Finally found an open bench in the "Mausoleum Garden" section, so was able to have my Fifteen Minutes of Peace somewhere . . . with the dead . . . go figure.

OK, most likely last poke at you guys about my favorite Persian buttercups. Most are past their prime, but even while they are dying (ironic considering where I found my peace today), I find them interesting as they start to look almost like something else entirely. First picture is I think of the same flowers that I posted back on page 17. Notice how the petals are now pointed the flower looks spiky when compared to the fresher, rounder blooms behind.
Here is a different group from a different part of the park. Spiky or round, may or may not show it's center, just an interesting flower to me overall.
Not everything was dying in the garden, of course. The Tulips were still doing quite well. The white ones are called . . . you never would have guessed . . . fringed tulips!

Very pretty area.
