ohmrunFinally a reasonably good indication that the design is on point.<a href="https://c.im/tags/Solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Solar</a>

ohmrunI pushed the trip button on the circuit breaker and noticed that when it goes, it doesn't trip to *off* but an intermediate position.I guess this design means you can come in, look at it and know whether it was switched off or tripped.<a href="https://c.im/tags/Solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Solar</a>

sunflowerinrainI've been remiss about replacing defunct solar lamps (for indoors, not for polluting the night), because when I search for them I get hundreds of offers of tacky glow-the-dark garden ornaments and things that change colour. I can't find anything like my old solar-powered desk lamps which expired after about 12 years. Perhaps I'm not scrolling far enough, but I end up closing the browser in despair at the tat, and sadness that such tat must be profitable. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Solar</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/SolarLamps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarLamps</a>

ohmrunBattery shelf time.Screws are rated for 40kg a piece. Shelf holders for 50 (I'll be doubling up).I'm going for two bits of square steel profile underneath the mdf shelf because the battery is going to be about 45kg and with a 60cm span it's marginal whether it'll hold.The current battery is on a similar set up, and I can see flex in the board, and it's probably half the weight.I've got a mounting board for the circuit breaker in a couple of bits of scrap wood.Lugs, electrical grease, and a better junction box are coming. God bless AliExpress.Cable is going to be a local online firm, I was laughed out of the electronics store on the industrial estate yesterday when I asked for 70mm² cable.<a href="https://c.im/tags/Solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Solar</a>
