Good morning, #nostriches!

Yesterday was a bit of a wild one for my solar system. It hit a new peak input, which I found suspicious, but, was corroborated by others, especially for the month of February (in the northern hemisphere).

~725W! Totally wild.

What do you have for panels?

4 of these, but only two installed currently. Got them from a kinda sketchy seller on Craigslist. Way less tgan trying to get anything comparable since I only needed 4 to cover most of my roof.

Nice, you're doing damn good bringing in that many watts. I picked up a couple more, 2 just isn't enough on low radiation days.

Yes! They are doing better than expected so far.

What panels are you buying?

I already have them, just not installed yet. I have 4 Renogy 450w bifacial now. I've brought in almost 650w with 2 and I could up that number if I'd get off my ass and fine tune my panel alignment.

Very cool! Are you set up to really utilize the bid bifacial nature of those panels?

Mine are mounted close to the ground, I plan on doing some experiments to test and utilize the bifacial element.

I would love to hear your reports on your experiments!

It is snowing and the panels are covered.

Impressive!

What are you using to monitor them?

The app this screenshot came from. The power station has a lcd screen to monitor and settings also.

Ah, you have one of those "solar generator" type of things?

Yes, a Bluetti AC200Max with 2 additional Bluetti B230 battery packs for a total 6000Wh. I can upgrade it another 2000Wh if I wanted.

Very cool. My system is not as sleek as that, but, it's going to be a bit more flexible and expandable.

Absolutely. I was going to go that route, but opted for something simple. And if I have to bugout to the cabin, my trailer wont be going, too rugged of terrain.

Totally makes sense!

GM!

Thank you!
