He was decent at debating Biden last month, good at using superlatives, definitely braver than most of the internet warriors here, dodging bullets, banging porn stars, makes you laugh if you're not a prude, making and losing money... Seems like a normal bloke with a ton of issues like most.

How about stop being a bigot. You fool...

Is it true?

Urban dictionary had nothing for DR

No, I like your online person and I haven't fought in ages. Sure you would smack me around.

Back on topic and only insult Bob which is the accepted norm on the threads he starts.

What is baseball? Back nine and baseball analogies are losing me today 🙂 Spent a few weeks in Anchorage on a hitchhiking yearlong trip in early 90's. Lots of big mosquitos and big women. Think it has the highest obesity rate of all USA states. Just too cold for me but it had some cool thing to do if you enjoy the outdoors.

Joking? Hope that isn't your morning greeting

Feel stupid. I actually google it and couldn't figure it out.

can't you unmarry - my women is insanely beautiful. My opinion is biased of course

That is a no sex zone as far as I'm concerned. I would rather take it from a griz than parter up there.

Well, I could share my thoughts but not the thread do so 🙂 Good on finding that someone but still confused. You have sex with him/her?

You must be rolling in cash. What has replaced the tail chasing.

Talking real sex i assume

and the wife + self gratification - lots of mileage on that pecker

Don't have the desire to chase the next best anymore and I'm probably much younger than most here. You all are living large - funny thread! How many women or women like specimens are you all sleeping with on an average week?

Remember you posting that info on another thread minus the shower info. I didn't think about that but the showers might be an issue. We never have 2 on at the same time but still 4.5kw would quickly max out the 6.2 kw inverter. Wiring different breakers to only be used by the grid seems complicated. Hopefully the young kid doing this can figure it out. Is it really an issue though because the Anern inverter would just switch over to the grid for the extra power needed?

Well that sounds fun and I'm not really concerned about ROI either but still relatively young and need to make my early retirement( retired 2008 at 41) dollars get me to at least to when my pensions kick in about 10 years from now. My home here is small but per square meter my electric needs are high. Only 2 bedrooms and the living space between the two rooms is open (screened -darn mosquitos ). Strange setup but I like it. Good airflow and easy to cook and hangout. Simple life!

You have built a masterpiece and I'm just wanting something that will cover close to 100% of my electric needs most days and over 75% on the bad days. I Have no issue with using the grid. I think your system is wonderful but overkill for simple me with no EV and no desire to provide 100% of my electric from solar. I've been looking at your setup for months and am jealous to some extent. I think 6.6kWh solar with 280ah 48v battery will get me to close to 100%. What do you think?

I understand the desire to be off the grid but isn't it more cost effective to be off 80-100%? If the goal is to be off the grid you need a big buffer in battery size and solar production. Probably ~ 40% more capacity/storage. If the grid were to go down on a day that I was only producing/storing 80% of the needed power, I could make some minor electric adjustment to bring the 80% to 100%.

Well, we are going to find out soon enough. There are a few here that did spend lots of cash on their setups that are willing to help new installers on a tighter budget which is nice. If it was 5 years ago, I would have needed much more assistance with the project but much easier today. I have time and look at it as an adventure. I'm sure I'll make a many mistakes along the way but past worrying too much about the consequences. The hardest part is pulling the trigger and starting the project. Did that yesterday. Now I can stop going off on countless tangents and go with the plan in place.

Sorry, Ill stop pestering you in a moment. I have to go for a run anyhow before it is too hot. Did you build your own or order your battery? Off for a run - Thanks!!!

OK, point taken and easy enough to resolve. 280 Ha battery it is 🙂 What about installing the battery after the system is up and running for a few weeks? I mentioned I had no issue with blowing through my 90k budget. Seems like now that is a reality 🙂

Ok, I am always trying to cut corners and need to just do it right the first time :). I think now I'll first spend more money and add 2-4 more panels (6.6kWh - 7.8kWh). Once installed and running and I have more knowledge buy a 280ah battery. Do you see any issue with having 7.8 kWH on the Anern 6.2 (6.5kWh input) inverter? It would be very rare that it would hit 6.5kWh limit and would be well under the voltage and amp limit. Form what i gathered the extra watts would simply be discarded which isn't an issue.

One of the reason I went with Anern inverter was because you stated you have had no issues. Still no issues? The kid that will be installing it has only o few years of solar install experience and wasn't able to describe how the grid and inverter will supply the load. From an earlier post you made, you descibes it as a a tandem relationship. They both will supply at the same time. E.g., load 4000 kWh = 2500 w panels + top off 1,500 grid ). That is how I hope it woks but could deal with the grid completely taking over is solar is not sufficient and providing the complete 4,000 kWh.
