Good to know, I'll run a 10/3 off of a 240V 30A breaker to an oversized box with 1" knockouts. That way if rapid recharge ever becomes possible I can pull through a bigger wire like a 6/3.

The panel actually just acts as a bypass now. The Xantrex inverter can isolate itself from the grid when AC sync is lost. The batteries keep the system up and the solar just recharges them.

You...

So a new different type of outlet is needed for 240 usage? Can it be bought off the shelf? Because I can easily through one in my garage. Stuff like this really simple.

Just as a final update, system is online and producing 20-22kwh on a sunny cloud-free day. It's a 3.6kw system and have over 1000kwh for the year to date. Now I'm working on energy efficiency for the...

Update:

Moved onto phase 4 and plan to have the project complete by EOY.

The inverter tied to a battery bank and generator has already proved successful during numerous power outages that...

Well perhaps we can cull some Indians and Chinese. They tend put out a huge amount of CO2 and have been very poor stewards of their environments. Perhaps follow it up with an African campaign.

Crimestop.

Oh, and I find it hilarious that someone is asserting that gas prices shifting from 2-5$ a gallon will destroy America but making people pay the equivilant of 20$ a gallon will save us all.

It's time's like this that I'm glad I aced philosophy so I can look at the fallacious reasoning used by a certain poster here and laugh.

Yup. Typical response. You're for "everything that is good" unlike those who oppose you who support "everything that is bad". I knew when I read, "I'm for strong financial management that keeps our...

At what point Texas, will you accept the blame for the folly of the policies you support? Because the conservatives haven't been in power in Washington in almost 3 years now.

Oh come on, I think it's a great idea to give full control of all aspects of our lives to a single entity that we've already given the complete control to imprison and kill with limited legal...

Well then I guess there's nothing to worry about as it'll all run out well before the world is unsalvageable.



Damn hot would be a few degrees. We're talking about less than 1% of the...

I think your rant here highlights why no one can actually have a conversation with you. Texas.

You are the emiptome of blind arrogance.



Because the more uses a technology has the cheaper it...

My version.

When you change the item talked about... it changes the response. Hmmm... linguistics are fun!

Well right now trauma technology is advancing beyond the ability of doctors to even keep up. Bionic limbs with normal levels of articulation made for maimed soldiers are just around the corner. That...

The US has IIRC one of the highest gross sales in terms of arms. We sell planes, ships, and tanks to allies. The last major sale was to Taiwai for a few billion.



Fess up. The internet is a...

Read thee review. The responsiveness sucked, it was too off weighted and handled like crap.

He wanted to wreck the car just so he could no longer drive it.

With the utter savaging that the Honda Insight got from well known auto-reviewer Jeremy Clarkson, why should GM try and license it?

But that's the problem with trying to make an analog to telecom infrastructure. There is an infrastructure already in place because cell phones are common today.

Thirty years ago the network was...
