140 is a little light but yah, it's definitely a solar thing only. It's possible it bounced over the 150 for a very short time to trip the cutout, and the 140 number you're seeing is a time-smoothed average in your reporting system. If you're using something trustworthy like a Smartshunt to get that data, then yah, tripping 10V short isn't great.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

What a bunch of shitbirds. Fuck me, I'm so glad I'm shut of that dumpster fire. Let 'er burn.

I've never understood why women support the Church in the droves that they do. It's mainly women keeping Catholicism alive despite being treated like shit for more than a thousand years.

You'd think they'd be more tolerant with the buggery and all.

I think this and blocking all users from a specific server are the top feature requests. Maybe followed closely by account migration.

I'd do this with the Lemmygrad tankies in a heartbeat.

That's been my impression of Schneider, great on AC but their solar stuff is a placeholder for "nobody every got fired for buying Schneider". I thought they ran Modbus on their comms, pretty sure I've seen the modbus maps for them around the Homeassistant forums. Maybe it's just some equipment, but the Conext is modbus afaik.

I wouldn't say the "150V" should be operating voltage by default, most SCCs I've used put that as the "do not exceed" number, just like the current. I've smoked relatively expensive charge controllers by being slightly over either of those numbers. Though Victron seem to be able to take it for a while without cratering.

What kind of charger are you using that needs to voltage match the batteries? I'm running 500V strings on a Luxpower 18K and it's not an issue with the chargers in that.

The amount of things you need to be able to do as a farmer would astound everyone that thinks farmers are yokels. Run a multi-million dollar business and you need to learn things, who knew?

the prices came tumbling down again thereafter.

Not from what I've seen. Canola hit another spike a couple weeks ago pulled up by the general veg oil complex, we sold a few loads then, there is some of the usual seasonal drop heading into harvest now. Canola is also driven by demand from crush plants coming online across Canada. Barley and oats are doing well too, accounting for harvest pressure. Which does mean beef will generally stay up based on feed prices that seem baked in for a while.

Man, I hate Meta with a passion, but it's hilarious watching the slow motion train wreck this amateur-hour legislation has become.
