Vagrant Cascadian

It is that time of the year where I begin using the more again...

The sun rises late, sets early, and the clouds cast a grey hue to what light makes it through.

Even though I have had relatively good sun the past couple days, it is about playing catch-up to top off the batteries...

And here I thought boosting my capacity by 50% (from 400W of panels to 600W) would be enough!

Also had some problems with my battery which probably limit the capacity considerably.

@vagrantc dang! That’s a tight energy margin to play with. I hope you have serious battery capacity.

@knasman

I also have grid power if needed, but try to avoid it for my office use.

Running a small system really gets you aware of your power usage ... the difference between a laptop that runs around 5-10 watts vs. 5-45 watts becomes significant!
