That's my plan. :biggrin:
How is it you generate more in winter than summer ? Just curious
The panels are more efficient in cooler weather than hot. Apparently efficient enough to offset the shorter days.
Permission to post photo updates twice daily, has been given.
I guess we can paraphrase that to seasonal insolation variations are only slightly affected by changes in the distance of the Earth from the Sun. The distance difference is only ~4% and I'm not sure how much of an affect that has on insolation.[/SIZE]
although that image is good for the first blush examination I question the scale. If the distance numbers are correct the orbit shouldn't be that elongated and the sun should be more in the center (less offset to the top right). Just don't stare at it too long![]()
Solar radiation intensity scales as 1/r[SUP]2[/SUP]. In the winter the earth is 3.4% closer to the sun, so there is 7% more solar intensity.
7% more intensity hitting the upper atmosphere but I would estimate the lower angle of the sun in the sky means more atmosphere it has to pass through and thus not a 7% increase hitting the panels?
A pic in post #59 shows 'em all. 5 back-ins. One is a head-in stall a la Lake Charles...5 stalls or am I missing something ? Odd.
I was just getting ready to post. Drove there at lunch today and everything looks ready to go but still roped off. Soon, I hope.
Awesome! Should be good to go for my drive through there late Thursday night. It doesn't look like the handles are zip-tied to the bay, so that probably means we're real close.. or it may already be hot. You didn't try it? I bet you could have backed up to that closest one without moving any tape...![]()
