Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[philipma1957]

Things seem to get a little tight over here in Europe, regarding mains power supply. (Good quality) photovoltaic panels are selling out like crap, network power prices on the rise, solar installers overbooked until mid 2023. Complete systems for the private sector mostly sold out too.
I did want to get into PV for my home next year, but as i am looking at the supply market and see prices rising and supply chain issues for the next 6-12 months, i had to take the plunge. Ordered PV panels today, next step is to choose the best possible inverter system for my case, which includes mainly wall- and roof- mounted panels, with a complex shadowing situation and aim at a relatively high PV output in winter. And i didn't even look at backup solutions, which only make sense in an uninterrupted, grid connected mode with sane size of a battery array capacity, which i'm going to design and build, in full geek DIY tradition, in the face of slowly starving supply of components.


Thanks Vladimir Putin for messing up the markets by starting a "special military suicide command", i whish you a nice...

Mining/node operation is not even included in my plans (yet), but i'm keeping it in the back of my head.

I have had PV installed now for the last 12 years in the UK.
My system is a 4KW array with two strings of 9 panels each.
I am grid tied but have recently added an AC coupled inverter/charger and two 5Kwh batteries.
I was preparing for the worse as the energy prices were looking to rise dramatically come the end of this month due to the energy regulator (Ofgem) raising the cap on the standard variable rates by an eye watering 60+%. Further rises were expected in January and again in April (Ofgem caps are reviewed every three months).
Of course the Gov has since stepped in and is now 'capping' how much retail customers will be paying by paying the difference to the Utility companies directly (Cost to the taxpayer to the tune of £150 billion!) until 2024.
Anyway, my advice would be to get as large an array as you can fit even if this is more than you would use in the summer as the winter output from the array is only around 10% of capacity (well for me anyway in the UK).
The batteries also work really well to buffer out any spikes in the system as well as providing me cheap overnight rates to fill them during the winter months.
There are a lot of really good forums out there as well as some good youtube channels. Try Will Prowse on YT if your looking to build your own batteries as well as David Poz (I think thats his name).
Good luck.

Thanks, i really appreciate useful input. I guess i will aim for 4-5 kWh Batteries, just to cover nightly and winter consumation. Planning to drain the batteries to no more than 40% capacity, to make them last longer (no full power cycles) and lessen degradation over time. Read below reply to philipma1957 for more details.

Lol at the radical midwife thing ! Is that the first step to not register the pregnancy, not register the birth, and having off grid kids ?

Yay 22K we're rich again !

Is so thought about buying 1 BTC at below 20K to sell it back (recoup the investment, keep 0.1BTC) as soon as it went up 10%, but I chickened out. Damn responsibility !

@OutOfMemory : congrats on your future electric autonomy !

Putin also screwed me with the inflation (let alone the BTC price), my future mortgage will be much more expensive...

My stonks are also up, I guess Ukraine making gains is seen as a good thing by the markets.

We just got our 260kwatt solar mining array finished and approved. We still are waiting for 20kwatt in additional panels to get us to 280kwatt system

this is about 48-50kwatts 24/7/365







we hung in there pandemic slowed us up over a year.  we now have quite a bit of

prepaid power
low cost
power
and solar power


we should survive the eth to pos oncoming disaster

Hmm, SolarEdge. Do you also use the optimizers and in which configuration (per module, or combined 2 or 4 pv panels)?
ATM i am heavily biased towards SE, because i have four different angles and two different orientations (SSW, SEE) to cover, and also vertical mounting of about 40% of the space i will cover with the (yet) 24 410kWp panels on a 8kW inverter system.

will my partner forum member buysolar is the expert but we have over 600 panels on four buildings.

one shot shows a second building and the overhead wire to it.

I know there are optimzers and  not sure of configuration setups.

every single panel can be viewed online via software. which does impress me.

I will hope to get a few rooftop photos of the build. maybe some screen shots of the gui for it.

All this was built because BTC helped to financially pay for it.

Bitcoin is surging above 22K...could it be because of Sweden election results?
naaah

I don't see BTC up. It is fluctuating between 18 thousand to 22 thousand only. When BTC went down it went down from 60k and now why is it taking so long to go up? The prices of all commodities are increasing all around and here and there BTC is only going down. Does this mean we won't get BTC back to its previous state before 2025? When BTC is 30k+ market is good and BTC will go more higher. And it can be expected that BTC will be up very soon. We just have to wait and see when the good news for BTC comes.

What is your objective? Are you letting this bot harvest merits and then, when it has become a legendary, use it to make you money?

Have you considerd a "solar panel tower" basically, if you dont have a good place to put your panels you erect a mast or tower and put them on that tower. Yoy know what I mean, something like this. https://www.elinstallatoren.se/app/uploads/2021/08/Soltorn-1-375x563.jpg

Wow, all the drinking seems to have had a really negative impact on him.

yea.... he doesn't look healthy at all...

Also, I do not think I have ever heard a less meaningful 7 minutes of speaking in my life.  It did not even make any sense.  Not only did the whole thing not make sense, the individual ideas he was failing to connect were generally incoherent. 

And I fully turned off my CW is a dipshit filter.  I almost wanted it to be compelling in some way.  I watched the whole damn thing. 

Absolute gobbledygook.

It would be way easier and cost effective with free standing panels, but as a private user, PV is only allowed in convenient ways when it's mounted on roofs or integrated into the house's walls. Details are too complicated, seems like the government only wants free standing PV if you are a solar power plant owner.

Totally!

He is a genius in talking meaningless crap for hours while sounding like a super confident pro (to people who don't think for themselves).

Like every scammer he is always making bold predictions (that of course never become reality) to support his nonsense

I think Bitcoin's price movement is slowly heading in a pretty good direction. There is a view that crossed several discussion forums that a new era of Bitcoin has emerged.
From the price of $20,000 down to $18,000, then moved to $21,000 and now has reached $22,400.

Good signal.

Don't be mistaken, everything is an act with this guy. If there's shouting, it's because he's hoping people will mistake it for authenticity and sincerity.
