Youse LOL, almost lost it when I heard it one time

LoL investing and compounding! I literally have all the time in the world.

Oof, 5k? Thanks for the insight

Edit: On further reading, I noted that the package is 400 watts of solar.

I got approx 1kw on my roof and 9.6kw of batteries, so… five-figures dollars 😬

The original plan was extending to about 1.5kw, but then I thought having tiltable 1.5kw will be significantly better

That’s why I decided to tackle the tilting problem first.

Thanks for bringing roboteos on my radar.

Thanks, this is probably one-axis (west to east) solution, but it’s the only less complex solution that is easy to automate, maintain, and handle off-roading(when retracted flat, of course)

It definitely beats parking the van facing north and reparking again at noon to face south.

You only gotta worry about greasing that central gigantic screw, as IMO is the only vulnerable point exposed to the elements.

The actuators and motors are splash proof. They will also be protected on the metal case when fully retracted and moving at highway speeds

so far i landed on a sketch.

Have a Crack at the design integrity Engineers :)

Cause f*** you why not Lol

TL-DR: I want dual axis solar array on my hiace rooftop

Explanation:

This video clearly states the advantage of having this feature on your solar, gives you more than 8 hrs of peak power (8:00 - 17:00) with a comparatively small surface area (perfect for space-concious application), compared to about 5 hrs laying it down flat (10:00 - 15:00)

And yes, I get it. A 30% increase in energy collection daily isn’t significant to justify the maintenance that can come with actuation.

But as a guy living in a van full-time, 30% is the difference between having 2 ceiling fans on for an hr and 5 hrs through the night. Yap, full blast, it’s hot here.

Further more; this video show-cases the single axis solar array, Then I started wondering, if it reaches high noon, this guy will have to I dunno, turn his car around? So that the solar panels can actuate another way around.

Surely there is a solution to this somewhere… right?

Hey, lay off some horror for now, dude.

Find something calming, I dunno, put fire-cracking video on loop from YouTube.

smh, I dont!

Quite a few;

literally

• if one repeats this in 5 seconds in a conversation.

• not against saying like, but when is used in “describing” you will be judged.

obvi

• ugh, I just hate this.

legit

• When I hear legit, all I see is insecurities. DO YOUR RESEARCH, TRUST YOUR GUTS.

And yes, I’m millennial.

Yeah, Can’t wait to witness their strike for independence

LOL the banners, fingers crossed i’m alive to read them.

1st and 2nd contradict.

Say, 2nd, if someone harms others, then I should harm him/her, right?

But then, 1st, I wouldn’t wanna harm myself, so…

LIMBO

Lol more like F*** It, Am Totaled

🫂 thank you for not killing yourself for that trash of a scumbag. sharing is a step in the right direction. I hope you are well

such a sad rendition of happy birthday

Yap, that’ll do it

Haven’t yall seen The Conjuring II, The Nun, or am I an idiot to call these horror 😒

That nun is something else. Goosebumps every time! And I’ve rewatched it dozens of times

Has something to do with the emotions that one is subjected to upon receiving

Man the title threw me into another one of those enshitifications that you just found out.
