This might be of interest to those that don't have a solar setup but are interested in the subject. Its a screenshot of the monitoring software for my...

Yes, the inverter, either micro type or full size handle the frequency synchronization, never the meter. The meter simply measures power in each direction...

Ok, a quick explanation on the things you brought up.

First, grid tie inverters must disconnect from the grid within milliseconds if the...

I have a bunch of grid tie micro inverters but decided not to go that route after all. I also have a propane powered backup generator, permanently installed...

Actually, battery (off grid) systems are not old history, they are more popular now then ever. One reason is they continue to provide full output in a...

Its Jerry, you should be used to this sort of thing with him by now....

I got off real cheap with my setup. Its 5KW , off grid , with a hybrid inverter. I bought 20 pcs of 270watt panels used but that make full power....

You may understand it but its NOT what you said !

"Actually, you can't, because you surely have a grid-tied system, which means that...

A little fun fact relating to California and solar power. I am in South Carolina and my solar system has been generating less power for the last...

Although I want to believe you understand the theory of how grid tied solar works, your statement is VERY misleading.

You indeed can and...

I have a 5KW system (off grid) that went live in May. Today the heat index here was 102deg and tomorrow is supposed to be 105deg. Central AC feels...

Gas 2 stoke golf carts accomplish reverse by starting the motor in reverse, I have a Yamaha G1 cart that is like that. Also, RC airplane engines often...

They are not "out" because of the technology, its public opinion. Considering the track record of existing nuclear plants here in the US...

You tried cutting it with HSS so you can easily tell your friend you tried and cannot cut it. I have never heard of anyone cutting a AR15 bolt. ...

Battery technology will no doubt play a important part in our future but I wouldn't go so far as to say its the single biggest thing holding us back....
