unlike me. sigh....
but then Toppop has a much more pleasant personality than me and better looking too.
Maybe I could take his B team...:dance1:
well, five hours outside in mid 40's temps and I'm a bit chilled, thankfully the sun stayed out.
And amazingly, when it all plugged together, the little green lights went on.
And the fence charger wasn't just clicking, it was snapping! The connectors were bolt on, which is no good if
the solar panel can't keep up with demand. I suppose I could do something intelligent like figure out the draw from the charger but
I thought I'd wait a week and see if it was still running. The not so intelligent route, but I have potatoes to cut up.
I think the taters are ready when the eyes are poking out of the burlap. Drinking two cups of hot coffee and several of my MIL's excellent
oatmeal raisin cookies, and if that revives me, I'm off to cut up those potatoes.
Solar charger pretty easy to install, just took my time and self tapping screws bit into metal roof nicely. Have no idea if the angle is optimized, if need be, I suppose I could turn the building a little. I need David/Sodamo here as a consultant for sure. But the winky lights went on, and I went ahhhhh.
I still have holes to plug and some neatening. Came with 30 foot extension cables which I cut off at 3 feet...but silly to have all that unnecessary resistance in the line though it was clearly HD enough for 30 amps as rated. Not like the panel puts that out. 100 watt panel
My old friend from PA reminded me to not forget the drip loops. Thankfully I didn't.
btw, South is about the direction the golf cart is heading
Be patient the right one will come along I'm sure
