WestBabylonWeather Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The drought sucks for obvious reasons. But I’m absolutely loving this warm and Sunny summer. We don’t get this often. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm never a fan of summer weather but all the sunshine has some practical benefits. Still .. this is banter right? Bring on winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great when they are working, but any issues are impossible to fix. Sunpower is a terrible company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called initially in eary September 2020 when my one inverter box had a fault. Now 24 months later after both inverter boxes have been replaced and about 20 site visits, I'm still only getting about 30% of what I was before the initial issue. I have 68 panels and am only getting about 24 kWh per sunny day. That means each panel would only be producing about .35 kWh per day which would be terrible. Before the issue on sunny days I was producing about 90 kWh. I now have bills every month and the dividend checks stink. I think there is a connection issue somewhere, but they keep telling me no. It's been extremely frustrating to say the least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somethings malfunctioning for sure ---for comparison i have 29 panels and generating about 50kWh on max August days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cfa Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I just realized August 1st (high of 75) spoiled what would’ve been an 18-day 90+ stretch for me, and had both August 1st and 10th (high of 89) hit 90 that could’ve been a 20-day stretch. Insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went from AK to Mexico, east coast to west coast and all over in between. I've only missed 6 states, couldn't drive to one of those is the excuse though, so the quest isn't fully complete but it's close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case “I should have” is the definition of wasted. In your case your 20’s became your ‘Golden Years’ when you could best enjoy them. Better yet ….. the quest is ongoing.

Bad foliage season coming up like we had in 2020 when the salt spray from Isaias destroyed the trees around here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
