Wednesday, July 10th, again, the electric is out, so I’m not able to get accurate temps. Before electricity went off, it was 17 outside and 41 inside.
We figured out why, even with a clear day yesterday, the solar didn’t last. It did last until I turned on the heat and the fan just a few minutes ago .
One: We hadn’t adjusted the panels for winter. We hadn’t had issues, so we left them. Now we are debating if we want to adjust them to have to redo it in a few months, (It makes a huge difference in the sumner) or leave them.
Two: We aren’t getting long enough sun during the days. When we have multiple sunny days in a row, we have no issues. But one clear with cloudy days before and after is the issue.
I think we have figured out battery storage for the 5k solar we need to build. Now, we just need some nice days (without a lot of wind) or something else needing the time to get it done.
