UK Sex Education Class Promoted ‘Choking’ to Teenagers

We have permitted the porn industry to transform our society, and to shape the sexual desires of an entire generation. If we want this to stop, we should cut this poison off at the source.

from April last year to this one im 51.8kw down this year this month

 

[soundwave]

too much cosmic power

 

[saneagle]

from April last year to this one im 51.8kw down this year this month

Last April, I made 474.8 units. The one before was 368.3. This April so far, it's 620.6 and I should make another 30 tomorrow. There must be something seriously wrong with your system. I know you don't have as much as me (mine is supposed to be 5kw, but most in April is 4kw), but it shouldn't be less than last April because we've had 15 days where there was full sunshine for at least 6 hours, and only one day like that in last April.

the inverter does not have a ct clamp connected to it but it is the same setup as last year and a 3kw solax inverter.

may last year i generated more than we imported so see end of month and had them cleaned.

147.8 this year
208.2 last year

most ever was 267.093 may last year

Tomorrow should be sunny all day again. At 12 o'clock midday, have a look at how many KW you're generating.

How many panels do you have and how many watts is each supposed to produce? I have 12 x 440w, which is 5,280w. Today, I peaked at 3,829w, which is 72.5%. That's the most I ever get when my batteries are full. I get more when they're empty, so that must be a limit from the inverter.

 

[soundwave]

peak today was 10.52 and 1.125kw and have 8 panels but was fitted 2015

Older panels used to be 300W+, so let's say you have a theoretical max of 2400w. 1125w seems too low. Can you get a solar company to check your system? It could be that a wire's detatched or something. Do you own your house yet and do you own the panels?

 

[soundwave]

no dont own it yet so cant touch them but most this week was 1.5kw

my bill is half of the other houses with knackerd inverters as pumping 7-8 quid a day in pre pay smart meters one of those blew up as well

I listened to a business man on the radio a few months back talking about how he wanted to build charge facilities on a motorway somewhere in the UK and was told by national grid that they could not supply the required electric power to run them for ten years. ABSOLUTELY BONKERS!!!

But lets examine that briefly from what we know.

Build where ?
Does he own the land ?

What is its proximity to the grid for rerouting power ?
Rerouting would probably mean crossing someone elses land, which would incur costs in purchasing it, and thats even if the land owner agrees, which in the case of farm land, which is more important to the country(food production, livestock etc)
And of course we have the 'nimby's'


Can the grid support that much of a draw , or does it need to make the system far more robust to handle that amount of draw ?
Ooooooh, not cheap, not cheap at all.

Who pays for these major civil works to enable the system to cope ?
(Im going to hazard a guess that the 'businessman' doesnt think it should be him, because it would cost billions)
So that leaves the taxpayer.
So this 'businessman' has a cunning plan for the taxpayer to fund the creation of his business, possibly to the tune of billions of pounds installing large civil works, involving other peoples property

Yes, I would say that is ABSOLUTELY BONKER'S

What is its proximity to the grid for rerouting power ?

In Europe, charging stations are often built next to wind or solar farm and connected to the farm directly plus backup battery. Savings for customers are around 25%, instead of 60 cents per kWH on high speed charging (100+kw), customers pay 45 cents.

Bitcoin mining is no longer profitable
Reports indicate that mining a single Bitcoin now costs far more in electricity than it's worth, even at sky-high prices.
