Today I
* stressed over a failed $51 payment and spent a while on hold trying to find out what to do about it (more #mutualaid would definitely help here)
* made more progress on the solar panel bumper (drilled holes in the wood pieces and fastened most of them together, except for the top side expansion piece that has to be cut lengthways and is taking much effort so I am cutting it a bit at a time),
* fixed my saw's (missing screw to hold on its handle) problem with a coach bolt and nut,
* made a start on chopping up the motor housing for the swing arm motor I removed from the front of the bus yesterday,
* dismantled a higgledy-piggledy ladder for its wood and screws,
* and enjoyed some nice sandwiches.

This open-source guide explores solar incentive rates and net metering policies in West Coast states, supporting sustainable energy solutions. Covering solar, wind, and hydro options, it aids in understanding energy buyback rates and grid-tied renewable systems for the Highest Good energy model.

A solar energy microgrid is a localized power station using solar and wind energy to meet community needs in an off-grid, self-sustaining mode. Backup power is provided by the utility grid and equipment like converters, energy storage, and controllers ensure efficiency. One Community’s open-source design simplifies DIY solar setups for replication in sustainable communities.

This is really interesting stuff… Kris needs power when she goes to equestrian competitions (usually 3-4 days). She currently uses a $300 (+tax) Bluetti EB3A, which is capable of powering 600W (more in boost mode, not tested) with 268Wh of capacity.

She is able to recharge it with a 120W portable solar panel, while also charging devices (pass through power).
