    Any ideas why I'm seeing big drops in production?

    I used Tough-Seal 21 by Key Polymer 17 Shepard St. Lawrence, MA 01843 phone 1-978-683-9411. It might be overkill but its what we use at work for potting wiring in sewer manholes. I knew it would work. It is a duplex tube and I was able to used the company duplex applicator gun that uses a static...

    Any ideas why I'm seeing big drops in production?

    Yes I repotted the diodes. It was about a half hour of work for each panel. Diodes were just over $1 each and the potting compound was about $5 each. I went with the same type of professional potting compound we use at work. Stuff works great.

    Any ideas why I'm seeing big drops in production?

    Could the inverter be dropping out due to either low ac voltage or out of frequency range? Check the ac voltage when it is normal and when it is acting up at the inverter and on the good operating inverter. Some inverters drop out at a set point. Some time it is set in the firmware but often it...

    Any ideas why I'm seeing big drops in production?

    Could be temperature related. A cold solder joint on a panel or loose wire. I have 25 Trina 315 watt panels on my roof. I purchased all of them broken for $50 each 3 years ago. Each one had cold solder joints between the nickel strips from the cells to the blocking diodes in the connection block...

    How bad do you think Superchargers in NH & VT will be on the day of the eclipse (4/8/24)?

    Welding glass is available in hardware stores welding shops and home improvement stores. You can get it in glasses, replacement lenses, and hoods. As above harbor freight too. The adjustable one I have not really tried but it might have an advantage by being adjustable. Easy to test it before...

    How bad do you think Superchargers in NH & VT will be on the day of the eclipse (4/8/24)?

    You should be OK. I was in the worst tesla regional jam for the Starship launch #1 last April in south Padre Texas. The navigation skipped me over the first charger that was jammed up and sent me to the second one. Would have been fine but they picked a bad day to do maintenance. The charger was...

    Supercharger - Kennebunk, ME (I-95 NB and SB service plazas)

    The charger in Wells is not too far from Kennebunk and it is much faster. Kennebunk does have convenient bathrooms and a super overpriced Burger King.

    New Hampshire NEVI awards announced

    Three of the 4 locations have Tesla Superchargers very close. Something on I89 or the Keene area or north of the notches would be better.

    Integrating wind turbine into PV/PW

    I have a micro hydro that outputs 100 to 350 watts. I had it connected to a 48 volt battery outback gvfx3648 inverter and it worked great. I upgraded to powerwalls and so far I have not found a good solution. I have tried the ebay made in China grid tie 1000 and 2000 watt inverters for wind...

    2017 S90D corrosion in suspension

    https://www.fluid-film.com/ You can buy it on line in a number of places. There are location that provide undercoating with it. It's pretty standard up here in New Hampshire to know about it. The roads are buried in salt during the winter. With out protection car just dissolve.

    2017 S90D corrosion in suspension

    Mt Washington Auto Road

    I did it in 2019 with my model 3. I think it was 56 miles of range used going up and I gained back 36 on the way down. The Conway supercharge is fast and works well. At least the 3 times I have used it.

    Hope your batteries stay full in the NE

    Hydro System I have a micro hydro system designed for 400 watts at 48 volts DC. My water source is a seasonal stream with 47 feet of head. I use 25 to 100 GPM from it. It provided about 10% of my electric needs. Solar provided the rest of my electric needs. I have a 4” heat fused HDPE...

    Good eye CrazyRabbit. The lead acid batteries were from the Outback grid tie battery backup system I originally built. In the lower grey box are two Enphase Envoy units. One for the 33 M series inverters and one for the 25 Q series inverters. I purchased some used panels with Enphase inverters...

    Hope your batteries stay full in the NE

    Exactly 45 feet of head 300 feet of 4" HDPE penstock pipe. The turbine can hit 400 watts but the screen at the inlet tend to clog with 4 nozzles turned on so I run it with 3. So I get 250 watts that way. Its is a seasonal brook that tends to dry up in the summer. But it runs in the fall to the...

    The 30" of snow was wet and heavy in Deering, NH. Just enough to take down a lot of trees. 21 times the power dropped from voltage issues caused by limbs hitting the lines. The Powerwalls(4) backed up 2 hours during the storm until the 22nd outage that was caused by lines down. The Powerwall...

    Just up the road from Tesla Paramus in 2019 was an Enterprise rent a car. Tesla set up a one way rental for me. I returned the car to Enterprise and they gave me a ride to Tesla.

    Buying from New Hampshire

    I really think a short term solution would be to rent a location in NH for a delivery center. There are some large buildings with parking that are unused. A few malls have Sears or other anchor stores vacant. Concord mall, Rockingham mall ,Pheasant Lane mall. So out of Concord, Salem and Nashua...

    Power strip with capacitor?

    The frequency kicks up when the grid drops to control the solar output. If your powerwalls are fully charged there is no where for the power to go from your solar in a grid down condition. The powerwall increased the frequency until the solar inverters get out of range and turn off. When the...

    Grid outage as trigger

    Depends on your gateway. If you have gateway 2 it is super easy to add a non backed up subpanel for the hot tub. A gateway 1 it is a bit different to add one.

    Alignment shop in the Boston/Providence area

    That's odd I asked them if they would install an MPP M3 raising kit about a year and a half ago and they said they would. I live on a dirt road and it is hard to get onto the main road how it is graded with out dragging.
