Good morning, #nostriches!

By 0815, I have positive power coming in from the sun:

Not a lot, but, it's still positive and charging my small batteries. This gives me an immense satisfaction. This is another step towards independence from centralized systems, and I think, arguably, this is more important than most BTC related stuff since if you can produce your own power, store it, then use it as you see fit, you can keep BTC alive.

Be resilient. Be hard to kill. Be flexible.

Currently:

-2 405W REC panels, mostly flat mounted on my trailer roof (2 more will be mounted eventually, might add more if I replace the roof mounted AC)

-MPP 3048LV-MK

-very small 20Ah battery pack made from 4 20Ah lifepo4 batteries I bought on Amazon to test the AIO without having to spend over $1k on cells, wiring, and BMS.

This is "stage two." Stage 3 is mount the other two panels I have. Stage 4 is build at 5kWh battery pack. Stage 5 is build a 15kWh battery pack for a totally bonkers for my trailer 20kWh total storage that I can backfeed into the house if power is out for multiple days to keep fridge, freezer, and heat going, if needed.

My knowledge on code-approved home setups is limited. If you're off grid and DGAF about code, I can get you started in the right direction.
