Best way to hook up a connected to an station? I have it currently hooked up direct, but the panel is draining the battery, so it doesn't even last the evening.

Recommendations for cheap solutions, please!

After a long time, found all the pieces for the hydroponic units at home.

It will be 2 different setup, one for the little tower with a solar panel powered pump without a timer and only depends on the sun.

The second one is an airpump with ESP32 as controller to turn it on and off and have a LiON battery for wheb the sun is not enough.

Will have 6 units planted in different parts of the apartment and balcony. Growing mostly leafy vegetables and herbs. Starting with parsley and dill that I have. Then add coriander, spring onions, kale, chuck boy and more.

Getting ready for the soon to come spring in southern France.

"'s production cost has dropped to 15 cents per watt this year, more than 60% below the U.S. price of 40 cents per watt, according to the report. A year ago, Chinese panels cost 26 cents per watt.

Europe's production cost stands at 30 cents per watt, while India's is 22 cents per watt, according to Wood Mackenzie."

The Annular Solar Eclipse this morning was cool to watch here in Tucson, AZ USA, but it did reduce our production of electricity from our solar panels! Note the peak of the Eclipse at 9:30am MST is perfectly shown by the dip to 828 Watts.

Its getting to the point where we can safely say that hasn't seen a policy that he doesn't want to disrupt.... now he wants to limit the installation of arrays on open land.

There may be , crying out for but a few MPs seem to have convinced Sunak that theses arrays are unwelcome...

Numpties!

Hmm. It looks like is doing some really neat stuff in the and thus renewable energy lanes; looks like someone might have figured out how to get it to not degrade into lead super fast? Cool!

There was also some neat stuff about it in stars and brown dwarfs that I wish Wikipedia had gone into more detail about without getting too stuck in the science specifics I don't understand because astronomers/etc haven't explained at my level yet. 🤣🤣

This article from about Direct Solar Energy captures my approach to small projects. While I have a traditional panel/controller/battery setup I am very interested in ‘No-Battery’ systems such as my + super capacitor . Article shows the hidden costs of going off grid, how in the future we need to change our behaviour to achieve the efficiencies we desperately need

@oldperl @reparatur Schließe mich an. Wäre alternativ auch an einem geeigneten Fertiggerät interessiert, dass USB-PD (auch) an Usb-C Buchse zur Verfügung stellt. Habe hier ein mobiles mit ca. 20V Leerlaufspannung, mit dem ich Smartdevices laden möchte.
Beim Bücher-A gibt es zB sowas. „DC-Konverter mit Batterieclip 12V 24V“ https://amzn.eu/d/bQS2ny9
Aber der -Regler fehlt dort.
Gerne auch
Vielen Dank : )
