Glad to hear your solar batteries charged up my friend!๐Ÿ‘
Solar power is so nice, as I typed this at 7:45 AM. My battery bank is sitting at 95% fully charged, with a sunny day ahead!๐Ÿ˜Ž

Thanks a lot, my friend, I appreciate that. They got through the night last night, and we had a mostly sunny day today, so we should be good for tonight. It sure is, I love it. That's awesome, and yay for free electricity from the sun! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

I absolutely agree, my friend!๐Ÿค—
I have 4.2 Kw of Solar Array ๐Ÿ˜Ž

That's excellent! I have to check our system again, as I don't remember the specs. It has three solar arrays, each one connected to its own charge controller, and four batteries. It powered a whole jungle community. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

Sounds like a very nice solar set up my friend!๐Ÿ˜Ž
Are you using deep cycle, golf cart, batteries?

The solar infrastructure is the best it's ever been, which is great. The batteries are designed for solar electrical systems, with the brand NOARK. I looked more closely at them, and the total Kw output, and between the three charge controllers, there is a total of 19.3 Kw. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

Thatโ€™s awesome. Thatโ€™s a very large array! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜Ž
With the sunshine in Hawaii, you are definitely set for electricity!๐Ÿค—โ˜บ๏ธ

It's a hefty system for sure, and it usually keeps things humming along great, but days that are all rain and dense clouds still kick its ass from time to time, We still need to get another functional generator as a backup. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

November and December are rainy and cloudy up here. I have a large propane/gas generator for those days!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜Ž
