Title: Corralitos,California
Post by: tecnodave on May 22, 2016, 11:14:12 PM
My workshop

12 Sharp NE170 wired 2S6P.   MNPV6 combiner
Racking is all salvaged materials maybe old Ironridge or DPW rail. Two different kinds as seen in pics. Mounted on 6" risers off UniStrut....only 6 lags into roof....temporary
Classic 150
24 volt L-16's Interstate Floor Sweeper
Dynamote Brutus 3200 watt & Cotek SK1500

This property was purchased to be developed. The buildings are a negative value and are being demolished to make way for new home. The house directly behind the shop building seen in some pics is gone and this workshop structure will be gone in weeks. New house is 70% complete. Moving whole system to next project.

This whole project is an education in solar, it will be finished when I'm 6 feet under.........

Edit....there are many edits in this whole string as I am figuring out how to shrink my pics to fit space..............those are utility feed wires to my shop....I do have 125 amp 240 volt service to this building to build new house on this property. Utility feed is for construction only....shop is 100% Solar off grid

Is frost snow? :o
My problem is bull dust from the timber trucks and vehicles coming to the house!
Brown/red snow?

We used to get black snow, that was from burning sugar cane but that does not happen here any more. We don't even get frost.

We should have a area setting under the members name .
WB & AL are both in BC but British Colombia is HUGE , size of the west coast of USA WA,OR,CA  so it's all different .
Al gets the same as myself , but WB & Ralph Day are so different than I . Even AL has a different weather track.
