  • how it handles the load exceeding capacity

    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





  • 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 comment actually got me curious, so I found these numbers for cities with population around ~1.1 to ~1.4mi

    Can you guess which cities are actively investing in their vision zero programs and reforms?

    Lemmy doesnt like tables, so I’m sorry in advance:

    Numbers normalized to 100,000 population

    Deaths per 100k City Country Source
    0 Helsinki FIN 1
    0.36 Oslo NOR 2
    3.70 Amsterdam NLD 3
    4.20 Porto PRT 4
    4.38 Adelaide AUS 5
    4.59 Chihuahua MEX 6
    8.64 Florianopolis BRA 7
    9.39 Mendoza ARG 8
    14.15 Valparaiso CHL 9
    16.01 Jacksonville USA 10

    I was going to try go get 5 cities per continent, but I ran out of time. I think we already can get a good picture.

    Population taken from 2025 numbers https://worldpopulationreview.com/cities which says it sources from https://esa.un.org/unpd/wup/ (currently down for maintenance). It was not ideal to use 2025 numbers, but differences would be minimal based on annual growth

    Latest source data available was used, which is around 2022-2025. There are PDF links, open with caution
