AVERILLVISION is the place to view clips from a southern West Virginia team of filmmakers. We live a beautiful part of the country, and don't mind showing it off once in while!
I'll try to put together a followup video in a few weeks. I really like this mower....but I am still trying to figure out how to make the ride more shock-absorbent. The Toro Z-Master 3000 is superb in that regard. Someone said they let some of the air out of the tires in the CZ-60R and that it helps somewhat....I just did that that. Also I ordered a memory foam cushion. A Track Seat" unit might help, they cost about $180. Otherwise, I really like this mower. It is a workhorse. Best review I've read is on Lawnsite --- title is Greenworks CZ60R Residential Use - I bought one and here are my thoughts. Read that and it might help you decide!
Very helpful, thanks for sharing. I'm just designing an adjustable mount for my location and found a summer angle of 8.9 degrees and a winter angle of 55.5 degrees. With such a large difference between the two, I thought I'd made an error. Seeing your angles and the significant differences between summer and winter is reassuring.
I am reassessing. Since our panels were purposely positioned about 15 degrees west of magnetic south, and since in the summer they often “clip” at just under 15 kw, I am leaving the summer angle at 45 degrees. We will see what happens!
Consider using grow lights, I use them to start seeds growing in a kitchen cupboard I have in a shed. Not forgetting to wear the special lenses needed to protect your eyes from possible damage. They are used to start seeds and give them the best and strongest start they can get before the frost goes and get potted up or planted out. Good luck.
Thank you for this coverage and support! This song is on our upcoming album, and is dropping on all platforms as a single 1/17. Here is a sneak peek of the album version of this tune on RU-vid! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jG3Z6eMAjr0.htmlfeature=shared
I run 65° in north Idaho and the pole mount panels are 5-6 feet off the ground I very rarely have to do anything snow doesn't stick well to such high angles and living so far north it also optimizes solar electricity production.
65° angle works great for north Idaho it's about the right angle for winter power making and snow doesn't stick much. My panels are pole mount and sit about 5-6 off the ground at the bottom. I actually just leave my panels at the winter angle all year long because I already make more electricity than I use during the summer. I don't see a need to maximize what I already can't use. Wind has never been a issue if you do your pole mounts to spec.
That is an awesome video. The crank system seems to work great. I wonder if they make an automatic tilting system with a battery storage system so that it could maintain perfect power generating angles all day long. It might help in using some of the excess power generated. Great video - Another LIKE for your video!
I remember visiting my aunt many times in the summer when I was young. She was a great cook and she always was good to us,. She was an amazing lady. She was so good to my mom and our family. May God Bless her family.
Oh how cool that’s my great great grandpa Happy Jack Richmond the picture of him and I forget the other guys name I have the original copy with date and names at the 32nd mark in this video still have his pipe to the picture of them with houses was at the sandstone Wv jeweler store.
This is so good I’m so glad that you all got her story on RU-vid what a great memory for all the great great grandchildren she will always have a special place in my heart.
My goodness I sure miss our younger years. She loved to tell stories and as a kid I remember her canning in the kitchen or making jam always had a beautiful garden and beautiful grapevines. I’m thankful that I was able to share memories with her. I remember so vividly her and Mr. Keaton and my Grandparent Neelys singing at rultain. I still see Mr Keaton setting in his rocker with his suspenders napping from being out working the farm all day.
That is a huge amount of panels for a couple living off grid so I was pondering just why they fussed with getting max KWHs by carefully angle adjusting. But of course they are ON GRID and supplying their neighbors with as much excess power as they can generate so good for them. Another variation would be if you were located high in the Rocky Mts staying elsewhere from Dec 01 to May 01 so you might choose to tilt the panels high to shed snow buildup. Also extra support for high winter winds might be necessary.
Thats awesome. I calculated for our location and it's 91 degrees in December. 😅 I just have two 350w panels on an offgrid cabin, so ended up using large flatscreen tv swivels. This way i can tilt but also swing them southeast to southwest. When we leave or on windy days, they are flat against the facade unmovable.
Looks like a Sinclare rack, nice design. With that said, the benefits of adjusting monthly (vs quarterly) are so minimal, it's hardly worth your time, unless it's just something you enjoy doing to satisfy your OCD, lol! I've modeled the difference between doing it monthly vs quarterly, hardly any difference over the course of the year. Even 2x/year is fairly minimal compared to quarterly. 2x/year definitely makes a difference vs fixed panels...
Yes, I am experimenting. Given our south-west direction, I am finding that a more vertical slant may be giving us more gain. I plan to leave the panels at the same setting for May, June and July....so, yes- quarterly in that instance.
Did I miss it or did you mention the manufacturer of that inground mount system? Could you share that with me? Much appreciated 🙏 Looks like a sinclair setup up but if not, I would like to check into it.
Have you eliminated your heat loads (Hot water, building heat, stove) Additional electrical load. Electric hot water (pre-heating) before say a gas water heater.
Great video and thanks for sharing. Electric car will take about 60-70 kilowatts a day to charge and will help with the loss. GM has a the new chevy bolt coming this year at 18k$ brand new off showroom floor after rebates. Also is it possible get any more information about this tilting system? Blue prints or other sellers? Im in connecticut
Look for the Sinclair solar mount system online. Highly recommended. We have a Bolt EV, had it since before the solar installation, and probably average putting 10 -15 KWH per day into it. Great little car--- I keep snow tires on the front most of the year as it travels much easier up our hill.
These posts are not going anywhere. Call Dan remember the specs, the holes were about 6 foot deep and two or 3 foot in diameter with the I-beam suspended by rebar. There are systems put in nowadays in which the I-beams are driven in, without concrete. That can work fine. A tornado might possibly pull the panels off the frame, but our I-beams Will hold firm.
