      Sorry if I did not explain that well enough. This is a way to compare costs with other full battery systems like a Tesla Powerwall. So you add up the cost of the whole system and divide by the amount of storage (watt-hours). The $.47/wh I mentioned is after the 30% fed credit. My estimate is for all of the equipment that I had in the video (15.36KwH) but does not include labor. Let me know if you have any more questions.

      Everyone has to do the math to make sure the cost savings and payback period is good for them when using getting batteries for TOU savings.

      It should work just fine. Where is your solar point of connection? If you are backfeeding through a breaker(s) it should be easier to get the current sensor (CT) on the one 120v leg. If you are like me, with a line side tap, it may be a little more of a challenge getting the CT on one of those wires because of where they are located.

    So I have a IPS monitor with a couple of horizontal lines at the bottom. It has only one ribbon cable from the main board to the panel.

    • @FrugalRepair
      @FrugalRepair 3 дня назад

      With only one cable going in to the lcd panel, you may not have redundant row signals to block. Or at least not easily. There may be row signals being sent from each side of the panel but my guess is to block one side you may need to physically cut into the driver board then solder back the lines you don't want to block.

    • @FrugalRepair
      @FrugalRepair 6 дней назад

      I don't think there is a need to. Because I put panels on when I put a new roof on, I'm expecting the roof to last much longer than without the panels. With electricity prices climbing my payback period is close to 5 years. After the 5 years I have 20-25 more years of warranty on everything so it will all be profit then. If I need to replace the shingles by the end of that warranty, I'll probably be looking at putting in the new tech at that point.

    I'm curious as to how the power company feels about the system back feeding to the grid when working on the lines? You hear all the time about the supposed danger of generators back feeding and the need for an interlock or transfer switch to protect the linemen. Does the bi-directional meter do something to allow it to shut off the back feed?

    • @FrugalRepair
      @FrugalRepair 7 дней назад

      It is a requirement that you can not backfeed. A power company guy was just at my house and told me his group was working with a crew from out of town and one of workes almost died (he lost both of his arms) because someone was running a generator (presumably) and backfeeding illegally during a power outage. The approved equipment all have auto-shutdown so they do not backfeed in this scenario.

Tried with 2 different graphics card, tried with more than 1 displayport. The mess is this monitor, sold as 144hz, only shows 144hz when on displayport.

      @@FrugalRepair Sorry my friend, this wasn't a rant on you, but instead a big frustration with the brand. I have recently bought a portable monitor 144hz for 130 euros and works much better than the 400 euros monitor. I have done all that is in my reach on this sh*tty samsung, checked the entire mainboard, the connector. Much more frustrating is if by any chance I try to swap the mainboard, it cost 85 Euros + shipping. I guess my bes approach is to buy a new Arzopa 144hz portable monitor that works perfectly fine. I only posted this comment and description, there was no generic solution (ie: a capacitor) In fact the symptom appears to be a resistor or capacitor, as the problem is always the 5 to 10 minutes until the artifacts disappear (it was left to say that the artifacts , vertical, take up my entire screen, preventing me from interacting with the menu). Another thing is, I've tried setting the monitor to 60hz, 120, 144 and the problem is always the same. Anyway, thank you very much for your feedback.
