The best time to use energy is at the time you produce it., storing it at present has loss using standard batteries and inverters. Also another factor with solar is the input is about always changing, this is why an mppt for coils is worth the investment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmMsTN8b9Hg here is one such option.

I love Project farm!!! When I buy I go here first in making my choice.

I bought a book on building cob ovens. I visited a man who built one that could hold over 6 turkeys.

I think you would be interesting in this protection system for the pelters.

Yeah I have 9 extra 220 watt panels and I am experimenting with all kinds of different setups. I am trying to get ahead of what it and EMP would hit and I need to run direct from my panels….
-
Careful, this is MOST experimental, I would hate to see you fry something. I got this UPS for $25.00 and I was not worried about loosing it if it did not work.
-
You can run direct, but you will not be getting as much heat out of the coils in the morning and evening and partly cloudy days. The MPPT tunes the energy for optimal use with the coil just like the MPPT does for a battery. If the voltage coming in does not match the ohms of the load it just does not work very well… I found this out by testing various solar panel configurations with my heating coils, also if you watch David Poz on youtube he shows why you have to match the panels to the ohms of the heating coil for optimal results.

Yeah I don’t drink coffee, but I do use coffee to balance the PH in my Hydroponic plant setups 😉
I run a group on MeWe for rocket stoves, Love them.

Toni is level headed, and has eyes wide open. I do like her videos and how she looks ahead.

Shipping varies with location, but for me it was 300 for 31 panels. This is my second order with them I split the cost with them so for me I paid 1/2 of the shipping cost. But they have been a good company to me.

I got them from Santan Solar.

I have testing these and I am getting 222 watts per panel out real power.
I buy the pallet deal. These are used, but are working great for me.

Thanks for adding that!

Yeah I like to put rotten logs near the base of trees. I like to encourage fungal growth.

Thank you for posting this. More dots being connected.

Yeah, I think we can use common sense, but I see the same people complaining about toxic gick going to fast food restaurants and eating junk food as if it is going out of style. 🙂
I have gone to making my own compost as the EPA has approved bio solids to be added to compost. The more control I have over my inputs the better. Each of us draws that line somewhere as how good is good enough.
