got her one of these 1400 grid tie inverters for a $100 bucks on eBay, no batteries required

as with any home DIY project a trip to Home Depot is inevitable

for Mother's Day decided to install a little $250 dollar system on her house

used 5 of the 275 watt solar panels I got for $20 bucks each from a friends friend, the deals are out there folks

with a wet spring in the rear view mirror, I decided to take a peak at how my $1,000 DIY solar system is performing

the green means I sold energy back to the utility company that day

I had so much fun making this...

Well nice job with the video... It is all about sensor resolution. 0 to 4095 means your sensor can see in 12bit increments. 12bit is greater parts than 10bit. This means your full sensor resolution is divided into 4095 indivdual parts which are referenced by the chip Aref pin. This pin wil see the ...

Thanks all for your inputs. Had been looking for Prius label, when its presently looked more like Leaf , I Didn't notice the sync serial is universally there..

man just when I thought I knew nothing, you remind me that I know even less !

that looks similar to what's on the Wiki https://openinverter.org/wiki/ZombieVerter_VCU#Installation all you need is the four pairs of wires from the Inverter to the Zombie, there are four sets of three wires shown in the diagram below because the third wire from each wire pair loops back to the inv...

Thanks for info, have been removing some with less sophisticated jewelers screwdriver method. On a related track, pinout for the Zombie board, Mth, Htm, Req, and Clk etc. For use with Prius Nvw30 inverter, Can you point me as where to locate this please.?

Just taking a swing... A capacitor is a load, yes. But when it charges up it stays charged. A light bulb is also a load, but it is continuous. So it's constantly draining the power. Since you don't actually have a capacitor hooked up, there's no energy reserve. Maybe when your relay toggles, that m...

In this thread I will list all the videos I have watched and continue to consume and I still can't comprehend nor explain in forklift terms, What is Voltage?
