Yup same, I did try the whole gym thing in my early 20s, did manage to get up and past being able to bench my weight. But then the buddy I went with moved overseas and the constant nagging to go to gym stopped.You sound like my polar opposite. Am lazy as **** and the reason for carnivore was so I didn't have to think about what to cook and frying a steak takes 5 mins.
Yup and apparently people seem to think you can run a countries power grid on solar... But just three days in JHB indicate this is probably not viable. Plus it's not exactly like JHB gets really windy enough for turbines either.
Yeah, you can’t. Unless you do that whole oversizing thing and build all over all the provinces. But now if your countries needs is 40GW, you would need at least 120GW or more built all over the country with transmission being able to handle wheeling all that power from one sunny area to another.
. Hopefully the clouds stay thinner and even give us a bit of sun today.
But solar saved Eskom... Which would mean that the three days in JHB should have Eskom wheeling, cause Gauteng is the largest consumer of power.Yeah, you can’t.

But anyway this will trigger more debates

I have no idea about the amps; when i put my order in the company came back expressing concerns about the power being > 16kW, but during my investigation i found a tech spec from Ethekwini, durban.gov.za, of systems up to 100kW for SSEG and residential, so i'm way below that. Not sure what Eskom uses, but i'm no longer Eskom's problem.
Same, went to gym 5 days a week about 20 years ago with a few buddies for 3 months straight, got quite buff, then we took a break for the body to recover.
This is why god invented gennies.
Dont worry, you've done your weeks cooking, now you have 5 days to charge batteries.
I went for about a year, went a few times without him, but the butch lesbian who had bigger arms than my legs kept giving me the eye.
Today is good for solar. Not the best but I will easily fully charge. Need only 10kWh or so to get both battery banks full, which I suspect will happen by 1.Dont worry, you've done your weeks cooking, now you have 5 days to charge batteries.
How long does it take the gels to absorb?
Considering how much they were drained, I need 6/7kWh to charge them up. My guess is around 4 hours. I am slowing it down a bit as there is a constant 1.2kW of load on the 3.6kW inverter at the moment, charging the other inverter and running the pool. PV would be around 3kW right now.
This is what I'm asking as I know lead acid take forever to absorb so you are saying 4 hours to do the last 20%? So this 4 hour absorb time is a daily thing then if you use 20%?
It's actually been full sun my side, seems when they say it'll be cloudy it's sunny and vice versa
Oh, sorry, I meant to say Bulk plus absorption. Bulk would take about 1.5 hour, 2 max. Absorption would be some 2 hours. It's normally quick to get to 28.8V, but it spends some time there. Typically, I would see the current drop to below 10A around 10. Absorption in those days then would be some 1 hours max.
Clouds coming in hot after 1?
