Sooo . After a few months of solar whats it like
Solar:
Ive had quite a few people around town ask me . So you have solar panels on your roof Man you have a lot . What is it like . Do you have to watch the batteries this and that. It seems when people hear solar . They almost always associate solar with batteries and having to have generators . Solar no longer relies on big bulky batteries or having to use generators when they finally go dead at 2am. If you have a power grid and it is reliable . That can now be your battery. If you want battery backup. Solar edge storedge check it out. When i tell them this they get wide eyed and the other questions start spilling in. I can put solar and not have batteries no generators Hmm. Solar is no longer in the stone age they are several major big boy players Obviously the two we mostly hear about is solar edge and emphase . These both use the grid as a virtual battery . Way this works is when the sun drops down onto the solar array it gets absorbed into the panels and they turn it into dc voltage . In my particular setup i have a thing on the backside that is a optomiser this makes the voltage stay dc but as the power flows from each panel it ramps up to around 350 to 400 volts makes it a bit more efficient than 12 volts flowing through a wire with high amps. Once it reaches the last panel in the string it flows to an inverter . Here is where the magic happens . I have the newer hd wave it changes this unusable dc voltage that is 350-400 volts and changes it into around 59.9-60 hertz and 240 volts Ac . This is the same as the typical house uses . If your running something . Energy flows to point of least resistance .If your ac is on some will go to the ac . The other . Well it goes to the virtual battery aka the grid. In a lot of places there is a special meter . It will spin backwards if you are using less than the panels are producing If not it will slow down significantly in turn basically you charge your virtual battery during the day and night time you use the battery but with one perk . If you happen to not produce enough that day . The power stays on no going to crank a generator any thing of this sort. As with everything you have tools . In solar the grid is a efficient tool to use. If you are trying to decide do you want solar but are limited on budget. If your power grid is reliable you may want to choose grid tie . It is a bit cheaper. There is flaws . If the power does happen to go out (storms, power outage like this) You loose power same as anyone else . This is mainly to protect the workers that are working on the lines down the road to get the power back on. You dont want them up there getting shocked from your solar panels . All inverters now are required to shut down if power failure . So if you are thinking on solar you may want to put this info into consideration. Its getting a bit long gotta wrap it up.
Upvoted and resteemed my friend. Memo is old post so I resteemed and upvoted this one. Thank you
I like your post.
It's a nice read. Although it could use some basic lay-out design to make it even more enjoyable. Clicking on the animated GIF next to this text will take you to an easy to understand tutorial on how to use some basic HTML to make your posts more readable and good looking. Happy Steeming!Thank you sir . Anything to make it a bit easier on the eyes for people always will help i tend to babble a lot and it gets mixed up.
You'r very welcome!
Some paragraphing and pictures would improve the readability. Though its still a good informative write up. We need more people like you who write about their actual experiences. Thank you for sharing @nokiasixteth.
Thanks for the tips . I am learning as i go on here. I will have to work on the spacing and trying to index-paragraph the information. I tend to notice my self rambling on and tend to jumble up a lot have a lot of info i just delete out. I Have been planning to get the drone photos when i find my hubsan camera It takes great photos.
Actually, me too!
I am currently using the 25/25/25 model to improve my writing ability.
25 minutes to research - I would think and write out a skeleton of what I want to share in key words and bullet form.
25 minutes to write - I would use this tool; 10-minutes hardcore mode; 5 minute break in between; to do continuous free flow writing from start to finish; ignoring all mistakes in between.
25 minutes to edit* - Only here I start formatting, editing and proof reading.
To be honest, the whole process for me is a bit longer. But by following this method, I find my writing ability improving faster and faster.
Credits to @maverickfoo. He ran a pro-bono Steemit bootcamp a few weeks back where I learn this method for the first time.
I guess mine would go a lot better if i tried to follow some method . I was never a A+ student in writing . I usually failed in anything writing related .
I usually dont research i go by what i remember as far as solar is concerned i spent quite some time every night for a few years before i totally decided on a system other than the panels .
I try to post up something at least one time per week and i try to keep it short if possible . I remember i never liked just reading and reading( i see the need for pics). Once the drone camera holder comes . They will be easier for me to upload .
My editing usually consist of me looking for the red squiggly lines to make sure i spelled it right then rereading what i wrote to make sure i didn't delete out something that makes the flow seem like a roadblock.
My stuff on here will change some hopefully before the end of the year . I got a cheap 3d printer this will help out on some of the designs . Hopefully by next month i can throw out some stuff on the patent process if i ever figure that out. Once i get that settled out i will throw out some stuff for water wells on here,d tube and you tube until then i will keep it to solar and other random stuff. Filing for a patent to me is harder than it was to come up with the inventions.
When it comes to the writing . I am trying to improve not many people are looking at it right now . Unless the little eye ball at the bottom is telling me a lie . I was looking at one from january . I think it was around 22 views .:)
Hey, good that you're using the method. Which part are you taking longer than 25 minutes though? Most people are taking a longer time at the editing stage, which may include graphics. That, I have to admit, do take time, but the good thing, the bulk of the article is already done.
Yes editing stage, paragraphing, spacing and formatting.
Look great 🔥❤️
Thanks am going to learn how to make it look much better in the future . More pics etc.
