I was way off with my numbers

First, I checked the sticker on the panels and they are 400W each

Second, I currently have them plugged into the only solar port directly on the battery, which caps at 460W or something, while I could wire them to the provided inverter (2 inputs) and use their full potential

So this isn’t 1-2 kWh per day at all, this is 400W * 8h per day with my current setup (that’s over 3 kWh), and likely at least +50% once the new wires arrive

I could almost power the entire house off of these two panels, in the summer

I’m reasonably sure that with some clever engineering to reposition them to follow the sun automatically, I could just about tie it over (at least in the summer with clear weather)

I am also reasonably certain that 16+ panels, which is usually quoted to me, is a tad overkill

I have no clue if my cat was being submissive because of my presence, or procrastinating or what

I’ve seen her fight bigger and healthier invaders

But this explains the drain on her kibble 🤣

I’ve had my panels propped against the wall for a while (probably last fall, since I set them up vertically) and I thought it was time to try something else

I got some supports and I’m trying to get an angle for longer yields, rather than optimize for best throughout but limited time

The new setup does eat up a big chunk of the available space, and I don’t know that I will tolerate that for long

Well this sent chills down my spine.

This is the first time I have seen an AI agent explicitly state "I am just following orders."

Latest SCOOP on #WSocial:

The European Commission Spokesperson for tech sovereignty Thomas Reigner just migrated his ATproto account from Bluesky (open source) to W Social (closed-source). How ironic!

And now excuse me as I go pick up my child from daycare. I'll be intermittently online for the rest of the day. Thank you for all your boosts and comments!
