More parts arrived.  60 amp MPPT charge controller and a 200Ah lithium iron phosphate battery.  These batteries are much more efficient than agm or lead acid and have a long service life (10+ years)...and are incredibly lightweight.  The surplus agm batteries I am using in my systems (10 of them) are 135 Ah and weigh 100 lbs. each.  This 200 Ah battery weighs just 48 lbs.  Moley approves... 89,94,60,0,G

Doing a little solar install for a part timer who has property near me.  At my suggestion, he ordered Starlink so he and his family (4 kids) will have internet when they come out to visit and so he can work remotely and spend a little more time out here.  Just got some of the panels today and Moley was on hand to check them out. 88,91,48,0,C
