Interesting problem here.... it's a good problem to have.... as we get into the fall in the northern hemisphere, the sun is a little lower each day at noon. My panels are tilted to be optimized for winter and this means that each day at noon they make a little more power on peak. Solar noon here is 1:30pm. At 1:37 today I was making 262amps (14.4kw) into the batteries.

In this graph we have 12 noon unil 2pm... you can see production is up and down as it was raining and the sun would burst thru the clouds. Since my system was making more power at that moment than my battery could absorb, the system went on grid at 1:47pm and started exporting power AND charging the batteries (the flat line). Indeed this is a good problem to have.

Just saw a video where a guy tried to make a 48v generator with two 24v alternators. It would work if he electrically isolated the two alternators' frames from each other. You see the alternator frame is ground. Anyway, I had never thought of this, but it would work. https://a.co/d/hxDQAJD . two of these properly done in series would make 70amps @ 48vdc... that's 3,8kw....

But just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do something. If he got a predator generator from Harbor Fraught he could feed it into one of the signature solar 5kw DC chargers (turned down a little bit).... .and then he'd have a generator for use around the farm instead of a one trick pony.

Yours truly got his drone license today. Got an 87 on the exam. If you wonder why it's been a little quiet and not offgrid related.... been studying for pilot license and thursday went to an agricultural trade show. We setup the drone along with a TV playing B roll footage of the drone flying.

Noted yesterday that one of our dogs has a gash in his back, I suspect he was trying to get out from under a trailer and sliced his back. But it happened the same night those 30 chicks went missing. Our other large dog hasn't been eating and I think we gunna take him to the vet tomorrow. He's got megasophagus and we worry he may have something stuck in his throat. We feed him standing almost stright up on a platform I built for him. AND I noted one of the hens today has a lame foot. Caught her and hte poor thing has all the tendons on the front of her "ankle" shredded. Shes walking on the top on her foot because there is no way those tendons will ever be right again. Sweet girl... she didn't fuss at all while I was looking her over. We thought at first she might have sprained it or her hip joint... typically a frisky rooster will be too rough... we had planned to put her in the chicken ICU to let her get some R & R... but instead we put her in with the remaining chicks so she doesn't have to fight for food. Poor thing.

If you didn't hate cops enough already.

OK, so..... The big news this weekend is that someone (ahem) in this house left the laundry room sink running to fill a bucket and forgot about it for 2 hours. They said 45 minutes but I checked the home automation system and it was 2 hours. The result of this is that water flowed thru all the pipe penetrations in the floor of the laundry room and onto the steel joists in the basement ceiling. From there it flowed in those joists which are C shaped. It flowed over to the gun room... I had put all my ammo on a 3/4 raised board but I didnt' count on water from the top. About half of my guns, several thousands of rounds of various calibers got soaked. But don't worry, the rug in the laundry room sat out in the sun all day and is dry now.

Hey, everyone. EightyCanadian, here.

As most of you know, I do all the artwork for most of the channels in our network. Art and graphic design have always been my passion, but lately, due to the state of Canada, guys like me can't find work anymore. It's been a rough few months, but I'm finally ready to roll the dice on myself.

Please consider visiting my online shop and supporting the channel with likes, favorites, and maybe help a brother out and grab some channel merch. This would really help me and my family out. All designs are done by myself.

Godbless.
