Here are at "high tide" Pak Kret. I don't think we can really say accurately when "high" is with these double-hump tides, the level has been pretty constant for a couple of hours. So, it's more a guide as to when the water will be "up". And an earlier one. My problem is that our sump-pump isn't automatic, so I can't go to bed until the level goes down a bit ???? The dogs are keeping me company and saving me from any vicious floating plastic bags before they have chance to attack!! They are chihuahuas of course ????

Local mid-tide low at Pak Kret. It's actually been pretty level all afternoon. The level at the house has only fallen by a couple of inches, so we are hoping that the next high doesn't overwhelm our sand bags (it's supposed to be 0.4m lower at the sea).

How about a solar car port on a budget?

Each inverter has a regular RCBO at the board. It "should" really be a Type-B (which isn't blinded by DC over 6mA) same as is supposed to be used for EV chargers, but finding them here is somewhat ... Everything has good, solid grounds of course. -

Solar Panels Fail - What to do?
Crossy replied to MJCM's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
For SERIES panels yes, Imp. For PARALLEL panels as @TronxII notes it will be Vmp that needs to be similar. -

Crossy replied to MJCM's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Panels of similar power ratings tend to have similar parameters, if Imp is similar then you're fine. -

One can but hope, right now it's not actually getting any worse, but there are high tides due at the end of the month. Madam says the big dams (Bhumibol and Sirikit) have reduced discharge to let the water from the north "go past". I'm not sure just how much credence to apply but it can't all be misinformation.

Meanwhile, we have another refugee from the flooding. He's a juvenile Pipe Snake (Cylindrophis jodiae), harmless. He was actually inside a water pump, lucky not to get minced!

@DavisH Bathroom drains have a bin-bag covering them with a sandbag on top ???? The delay from the tide tables vs Pak Kret is around 4 hours as near as makes no difference, then another hour delay to our location. Meanwhile we actually got slightly less water in the house last night, not enough to turn on the pumps ???? Long may it continue. I missed the actual low but Pak Kret level is well down so hopefully today's highs will continue at similar levels to the last few.

We have been "Baan Farang" with the local HomePro for 10+ years. The first time we had stuff delivered we had no actual address so Baan Farang and the village it was, never fails so we've never changed it ???? I just saw one of Madam's koi swim past ...

Meanwhile, Madam has declared that I have to build a permanent flood barrier at the house. I'd actually planned it from day one but never got one of those "round-tuit" things. So once the water retreats, we will be building. Of course, this will guarantee that we never flood ever again

Pak Kret local high. A little up on last night. We are getting some water in the house, have to fire up the pumps in a bit. Some interesting flotsam.
