Haha fuck yer it is. A bit off topic but if you after a crash course in Aussie culture most of The Chat's music will get you there as, other bangers includ, the clap, smokeo and pub feed

I don't want to make fun of dead people, and this guy definitely needed help. However he looks a little like Harry Potter if he never went to Hogwarts

I haven't shot a stuffed animal, but I'm fairly sure, minus two smalls holes and some light melting, it would survive with minor surgery. However the guy on the left looks like he's gonna need a new knee. I'll tee this up as a win for the rainbow pony resistance.

No worrys, my first off grid system was panels that 15 years old that I scavenged out of the tip, a mix of old front end loader and truck batteries with collapsed cells, and the cheapest eBay controlers and inverter I could find, and it did the job haha. I looked into using an old gird tie inverter as an off grid one but its pretty wild as they just keep ramping up the volts till it goes somewhere lol Also that battery scheme looks the good, why isn't there more noise about it?

Was last year's goal to also draw the Australian flag, or something else?

It comes down to what system you have, all solar panels are the same, they generate DC power in the sun, and send it down the line to the next set of components, for an off grid set up it usually goes, solar controler, this let's the right amount of watts through to supply current demand and/or charge the batteries, from there depending on the set up either to the battery's detectly or through the inverter to the battery's, the inverter takes DC and turns it to AC to run whatever is at the end. For on grid the panels run to an inverter that powers either the current demand or pumps the power being made by the panels to the grid, this is where you can run into trouble if everyone has just on grid setup, if no one's using power at midday then you have all that power being pumped into the grid and it puts a fair load on things to keep it from poping. There are hybrid systems as well both the panels and grid run to the batteries.

I personally think if each house had a battery system, connected to the grid that also has a battery bank say at every transformer on a pole, I think that would make a pretty good multiple redundancy grid, expensive sure, but how much money does the government already waste. Just my 2 cents
