Hello! I'm Anthony. I'm an electrician by trade. My mom says I'm the best out there. I am into electrical and electronics mostly. I do a little wood work and welding, some CNC routing. I don't own a PJ or Genetry inverter, but my homie Ben from WV said I should check this forum out.

 

Thanks for having me.

Haha, just wait, you might get that "solar itch" before long, and the rest will be history 🤣

My friend, I have the itch, but I don't have the scratch, as in money, to satiate it! A thief hijacked 1 kW of PV and four T105 batteries, 40 amp charge controller, tools, generator. Almost everything. He left four batteries and a touch under 500 watts. The batteries are currently being charged by a Mean Well buck converter hacked by a Nano running my crude version of MPPT. In fact, that LED/LDR rig from the other thread is how the Nano controls the converter. It isn't very fast, but it's been that way for months and the batteries are still very healthy.

 

So, yeah, I got the itch!!

Ouch.  That's not fun.  Might need to put up a security system or something that at least would alert you.  Nothin' like a blast to get someone to run...

A trail camera caught the action. It was my nephew who knew I wouldn't be there.. It's a way off the beaten path. He used to hunt with me when he was younger. So he knows everything. Anyway, he's on meth these days and robbing people. He was caught but the stuff was never recovered. I didn't mention all that because, well, it's exactly what someone from Alabama is stereotyped as... I guess they exist for a reason🤣

Well, that's a bit of a different story, I guess...and oftentimes it's a lot worse when it's someone you know.

Probably shouldn't have asked ...

Yes. I am very offended. I demand that resign from your post and that GS issue a statement denouncing you. Go ahead. I'll wait. In the meantime, I'll be trying to contact members of your church and other social groups for questions.
