We already have hybrid inverters that does that automatically, you don’t even need a different circuit or special outlets. It can manage all the grid ties, off grid and battery parameters on the fly

Unfortunately they usually do it on farmland around here, when they could easily go the agrivoltaics route. They would only need to raise it a meter or two and let the sheep roam around doing the trimming for them
Depending on location, it would have been cheaper to have those posts raised/reinforced in the first place instead of buying and hauling all that gravel
This one actually grinds my gears and it is too popular around here:
17·6 days agoThey are already doing that, they even have a playbook on how to try to protect them, but apparently, “Physical protection is a set of structural measures that do not guarantee the safety of protected objects. Solutions do not exclude blast load and shrapnel impact.”
Solution What It Is Rosneft’s Own Admitted Weakness Cable barriers around tanks Cable/net mesh (40×40 cm) wrapped around storage tanks on pipe stands “NOT resistant to UAV shrapnel”; only protects against multirotor drones Scaffolding cages Modular metal scaffolding erected 5m above tank roofs “Insufficient volume of scaffolding to protect the Company’s facilities”; “high cost” Shipping container walls 20-36m high walls from stacked 20/40-ft containers with cable infill at 40 cm spacing Not yet pilot-tested; requires thousands of containers per refinery “Tent” canopy over tank farms Overhead cable-mesh tent using containers as structural supports (21m central mast) “Difficulties during firefighting”; “high snow loads” Tower crane mast cages Repurposed crane sections forming 4-pillar cage around processing units, cables at 1m spacing Each unit requires individual engineering; relies on surface foundations or guy-wires Three-barrier column protection Layer 1: cable screens 1-1.5m out from platforms; Layer 2: nets (40×40 mm mesh); Layer 3: kevlar/aramid wrapping In case of detonation, destruction is inevitable Cable fencing for pump stations 6mm cables at 500mm spacing on outrigger brackets Only designed to destroy drone airframe — does nothing against the warhead Reinforced concrete panels Reinforced Concrete wall panels replacing sheet-metal wind barriers at pump stations Only covers pump stations — the narrowest, lowest-value target category
91·8 days agoDid they implement similar measures for other industries, like oil and gas?
1·12 days agoYes, plasma 6.6.3. I already had the “power management” setting “Dim Automatically” as “Never”, but it doesn’t seem to work on the second screen, as seen below:
2·16 days agoIt really depends on your location and it could even include native grasses. I’d even recommend creating a post in the community asking for help so it gets more visibility
It is okay if you still need to have grass for children/high traffic areas, you don’t need to remove it all, as even small patches with native plants can make a big difference
If you like videos, you should definitely watch Climate Townś “America’s Dumbest Crop” when you have the time:
100 presses milestone achieved!
As in what happens if you plug too much stuff that it exceeds your solar production?
I’ll use mine as an example, but it might be different with different models and configurations:
Inverter can handle up to 10kw
If solar production is at 5kw, and home is demanding 7kw, in my case, I have it set up as to draw the remaining 2kw from the battery, if battery is depleted, it will draw 2kw from the utility company
If home demands more than 10kw that the inverter can handle, it will trip the internal inverter protection or a circuit breaker leading to it
