Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No Solar panels were harmed during this fabrication.<\/p>\n

Go get a coffee before you start reading this, it covers a few days work.<\/p>\n

I recieved my Lumera Bi-facial solar panels. Come on you can say it, they are two faced except like many people except these are useful.\ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n

Today I started on the solar panel mount. After 3 hours of careful drilling, bolting and measuring, not in that order, they were ready to be disasembled, carried outside and reassembled.<\/p>\n

Before that, comes wiring. I needed to setup my new MPPT controller, including wiring it to the battery and my future battery bank.<\/p>\n

Wires needed to be strung,\u00a0 and secured outside. After that mount the panels. I designed the mount for four panels.<\/p>\n

The bad part, for the coming panels I would be drilling holes and mounting the panels in place, probably on a step ladder. Maybe even in the snow.<\/p>\n

I still needed to design and invent a mechanism for stetting the angle. I only needed two positions summer and winter.<\/p>\n

The best part of the mount is that it rotated on the pole. The sun rises almost in the north in winter and in the east in summer.<\/p>\n

The worst part? It is not secured for wind yet. Soon.<\/p>\n

Well I earned a rest and I just watched Youtube video that convinced me to start a new game of Starfield. Great game but no hints or how things worked on day one. I am only ten levels in so I can start again.<\/p>\n

Take care and be safe. Wear a mask for winter. It’s back.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of covid I had a welder tried to tear the mask off my face. I told him if he agreed to weld without a mask I would take mine off.<\/p>\n

Covidiot, read too much Trump.<\/p>\n
