Is it worth the solar panels I'm getting?
  • I only know enough to get myself in trouble but a few things here to note that I have to try and point out. There is no DC wiring in an enphase micro inverter system except plugging the premade panel positive and negative leads into the IQ8+. The micro inverter does as says and inverts it to AC directly after the panel. There would also be no need for a SolarEdge inveter just the Enphase gateway to handle rapid shutdown and system production monitoring for the IQ8+'s. The document titled "Configurations for IQ8 Series Microinverter systems (Solar Only, Sunlight Backup, Home Essentials Backup, and Full Energy Independence)" under https://enphase.com/store/communication/iq-gateway shows the single line diagram for solar only installation.

  • Isn't that just a 3.8Kw inverter though? You can input up to like 150% or so I think but you're only ever producing a max of 3.8.

    This is $87 worth of shopping. Please feel free to use the space below to critique my purchases
  • Presliced cheese is typically more expensive than block. Alfredo is cheap to make from scratch. The instant Mac that comes in the microwavable bowls are like 2.5x the price per ounce of the ones that are just packets.

    What are your tips to wake up quickly ?
  • It helps me to prepare things like my clothes I'm going to wear the night before. Then just get into a routine and it won't matter it takes you a while to wake up fully, you'll just get ready on autopilot.
