Hooked up a 5th battery pack to our #RooftopSolar off-grid system (need a new rack). Now up to 16kWh energy can be stored. Enough to run a 1.5hp non-inverter air conditioner at full blast for 24 hours. ☀️

Going on a vacation and inspecting the sunblock we’ve stocked. Turns out both are not coral reef safe.
Beach Hut Max 100++ SPF contains Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Zinc Oxide.
Belo SunExpert SPF 50 also has Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Octocrylene and Titanium Dioxide.
Uploading 82GB more. Mounted with only 2 of 3 disks with RAID 5. These disks lasted 4 years.
Using S3 permanently would cost me more than twice the cost of replacing the drives assuming they also last 4 years again.
That doesn't include the cost of powering the array. Bought a 5-disk bay and a replacement single-board computer, which should bring down energy consumption.
If we manage to be completely off-grid, all of the energy consumption cost can be folded into the rooftop #solar investment.
Backing up a 375GB archive to AWS S3. Internet don’t fail me! Disk drives on the NAS have SMART alarms. 😬

Meralco (utility) bill arrived today. 2.5 weeks #offgrid running on #solarenergy. 📉 83% lower compared to last year. ☀️
