@xiaowang1984 To get this NEC compliant you need to install a smart breaker that meters current at the breaker and communicates with the inverter to insure no more than 12a on the 15a breaker. 12x1.25=15.

@TheFrackingGuy The 5% rule is still in place for systems under 1.5mwac.

[William Baxter @distgenerate]

@Ember421 @ShanuMathew93 Fair. 200% is a tripling. Also now with PCS the car charger doesn’t necessarily have to add load to the service calcs.

@chrismwojcik Have done #2 and learned the hard way by becoming over trained and watching cardio go down the toilet. Also realized #4 can come much faster than my bjj skill set. Have definitely outworked more skilled opponents only to feel them crater later in the round

@SolarInMASS It’s European. Have not heard anything regarding a US release.

@AndyStumpf77 @Reformed_Zoomer Agree about the responsibility. I paid off 80k. It’s a fucking millstone around one’s neck. Fairly certain they are a net negative for society. Saddle one with a large obligation during their years when they should take risk to create.

@FrankMezzatesta @DJSnM Most inverters are rated in watts and have a PF of 1(can be adjusted).So AC as well. But for most cases this is a good way of looking at it

[William Baxter @distgenerate]

@LowLevelTweets @DJSnM This is not quite right. Inverters are traditionally rated in watts with a PF of 1. New regs dictate the ability to adjust PF to leading or lagging. But ageee with most that watts is real power.

@duncancampbell I would say no as long as no parallel operation as you have indicated. What I worry though is getting stuck in a doom loop if the AHJ requires utility inspection for a solar permit. The IX agreement should state when necessary

Ended up winning the 7th Taco Bell 50km (#TB50km) in Denver this morning (4:28 total time):

Had to eat a food item at 9 @tacobell locations along the way (no puking allowed!).

By the 4th stop a Crunchwrap Supreme was required….by the 8th stop a Burrito Supreme was required.

I did all beans (instead of beef) and a lot of soft tacos and cinnamon twists as well! 🌮🌮🌯🌯

Thanks for the 📸🎥: @StephenGnoza !

@tylerhnorris Call the inverter manufacturer and ask if there is a eSW upgrade to sunlight back up. Enphase/SMA offer this on inverters. Please do not hesitate to contact me. Master Electrician/15 years of PV experience. AVL, NC area for anyone who needs help getting with pv.

BMO note 9/13: "Wood Mackenzie estimates suggest lead times for transformers at 78 to 127 weeks with pricing ~50% higher since the beginning of 2022. Circuit breakers and switch gear pricing and lead times have expanded to 151 weeks from 65 weeks and prices are 25% higher"

@WayneTerran I had a grade 1 LCL back in March. After 2 weeks was walking long distances and riding a bike. Was in the mat in 3 just to move. Rolling again in 6. K guard and baby bolo with injured knee took 10-12 weeks.

@scottamoskowitz Most consumers would delight at lower fuel prices. There is precedent for price controls through the National Recovery Act of 1933 that gave cover for states to prorate oil prod. The easier play is to advocate for more access and ease of install.

[William Baxter @distgenerate]

@AustinTunnell Looks great. But buying fixtures from Etsy have you ever had any pushback from an electrical inspector wanting to see UL certs? We installed "dummy" fixtures with UL that we then replaced after final.

@SolarInMASS Where is the 1:1?

[William Baxter @distgenerate]

@RaoulGMI It’s not a school of thought. It’s a reaction to our poor diet and sedentary habits. The literature shows that high VO2 max, grip strength, hold 7 minute per mile for 4 miles, etc drastically reduce all cause mortality.

@SahilBloom Meurten. Can push around 600 calories an hour if so inclined with minimal gut issues. That’s about 2x calories of other gels. They are pricey though.
