The best tracker setup I ever saw was at MCAGCC 29 P.
South facing slope, multiple long horizontal pipes oriented North South in bearings. One large motor coupled to sprockets on each pipe with one looong chain pulled the angle on the entire array, super simple.
found it 34.189863, -116.091611 looks like they have added on in a big way
Actually...I take that back, I saw one better; this was a small pole mounted array a grower I knew was using to irrigate weed in NorCal. It was a counterweight system. the default angle was dawn. Sun came up started pumping water to the crop, small amount of that was diverted to a bucket up on the pole. As the bucket filled up it would tilt the array around to the West. Sun goes down, pump quits, there is a small hole in the bucket, it leaks out over night and the array tilts back to dawn.
fucker had a plant at the base of the pole to use the leakage...fucking beautiful.

There are lots of smart intertie setups, if they are not permitable in all jurisdictions that is just criminal

... somehow isolate from the grid...
OK, I'm going to just give up and be snarky, it is an AMAZING new technology  BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! THEY ARE CONTROLLED BY ROBOTS NOW!!!  living in the future man |

solar trackers.
I don't want to come off as snarky, I know I can be an ass sometimes... System complexity, in my experience there are exactly two kinds of trackers; those being installed, and broken ones... I have heard rumors of there being a brief intermediate state of "working tracker", but I have never encountered it in the wild. |

Instead you want 1/3 pointing south east and 1/3 pointing south west and 1/3 south. This allows you to pick up the early morning sun and the late afternoon sun which is much more valuable than the midday sun.
no offense, but the way I parse this is that your battery is undersize |

Damn jerks.
jesus what is their actual fucking problem? I just don't get what part of not being evil fucking shitheads is so hard for most people... |

never hear of any explosions/fires related to car batteries. Unless you decide to charge them with the voltage of thors hammer.
yeah, I used to pooh pooh the hydrogen gas thing too, until my coworker burnt his beard off |

the lithiums have made impressive strides in energy density, outpacing your Trojans by a fair bit
that said, and I am quite aware of the dangers inherent in H2SO4, if I had one of those power walls it would be installed in an airtight bunker some distance from the dwelling...
when lithium decides to do the bad, it is really bad
Which dangers of sulfuric acid are you talking about specifically? you ever spilled any? ever had the hydrogen gas over a battery light up? trust me, it is nasty stuff, I moved to gelled electrolyte years ago and accepted the lower energy density just to not have it in my life |

In which case Bitcoin will not go up. Fiat will simply go down.
In other news, watch out: Latest Mozilla update wants to route your DNS queries through cloudflare. Which since it's an internet provider means the Govt will be able to see all of your queries without a warrant.
(Run your own DNS servers ffs)
Doesn't Mozilla obey to your OS network settings? Used to, but apparently there is a new "feature" where DNS lookups are passed to the "cloud" rather than going through your local resolver. Thanks for the heads-up, guys. I went and found out it can be disabled. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-dns-over-httpsManually Enabling and disabling DNS-over-HTTPS
You can enable or disable DoH in your Firefox connection settings:
Click the menu button Fx57Menu and select Options.
In the General panel, scroll down to Network Settings and click the Settings… button.
In the dialog box that opens, scroll down to Enable DNS over HTTPS.
On: Select the Enable DNS over HTTPS checkbox. Select a provider or set up a custom provider.
Off: Deselect the Enable DNS over HTTPS checkbox.
toggle doh
Click OK to save your changes and close the window.
which just puts you back to the old default of plaintext (non https) DNS queries being harvested by your ISP I have done a bit of reading and come to the conclusion that Mozilla is, as usual, the good guy in all this. Yes, the use of cloudflare is unfortunate, but difficult to avoid, you will recall that even theymos buckled and put this very forum behind cloudflare a couple years ago. The point about nefarious state actors now having a central collection source is well taken, but let's face it, 99.99% of people are not going to run their own DNS or a VPN. If state actors really want your lookups they are going to get them. This at least ends the casual data scraping by commercial entities. |

Intriguing. I always pictured being a DNS server would require industrial grade infrastructure. Do you run a DNS server? HEY! Maybe my Namecoin will be worth something someday.  you don't have industrial grade infrastructure? |
