Off The Grid

today I weighed down the HDPE culvert pipe that is the pond drain line with concrete. I ended up just pouring concrete onto the pipe to envelope it and then put unopened sacks of concrete on top of that... and some stones. Now I can turn the solar pump back on and let it run again. No pictures.... it's horrible looking anyway. but it'll hold that pipe down flat on the bottom so it won't get air locked. As the pond fills up, I'll eventualy trim that pipe to be the final water level. Side note... that mallionus dog that wandered up a few months ago... my companion. He was right there with me today. I saw a skink and tried to sic him on it... I kept pointing at it and he kept putting his head under my hand to get petted. I finally gave up trying to show it to him. Next thing I know he's sticking his head inside a 5 gallon bucket and slinging it straight up into the air.

EDIT: Gone. Ive got a SolarEdge 11400 Inverter up for grabs. It's grid tie only and will not work with 62hz frequency shift power control. And I've got a 6kw SolarEdge HD Wave that will work with 62hz power control, so this one is suitable for AC coupled off grid system. I've got about 60 SolarEdge optimizers. I've got a bunch of TIGO remote shut off modules and the transmitter that are required to be used with string inverters when mounting on a roof. These things gotta go... I won't say free to a good home, but certainly if someone here wants them, I'll make you a sweet deal. Please no shipping, I can meet you somewhere within an hour or two of the middle of SC.
