       @azonenberg oh today was so hot there wasn't a cloud in the sky.  Here's yesterday that had a grid blip and not completely full sun.

       @tubetime is that chemically adjacent to cyanoacrylate?  Was that tank basically a huge vat of almost-superglue that cured?  All I heard was concerns of an explosion, and now I'm wondering if that's because it would be exothermic runaway?

       @azonenberg oh, I wanted to mention a Home Assistant tweak I made for Enphase gear - I have whole house backup with 40kwh of battery, and normally let the batteries dip down to 30%.Just a few days ago I realized there's a cloud coverage percentage weather metric available in HA.  So now if the cloud coverage is greater than 50% I raise the battery reserve to 50%.Now I have more emergency reserve for an outage if it's been low production cloudy for multiple days running.

       @azonenberg yah, no generator here, but also net metering.  My Enphase controller/combiner 3 is the version that doesn't even support a generator, those terminals are wired as an additional bank of battery.  I'm also low enough usage that so far I'm producing more than I consume on average annually which makes me happy.

       @azonenberg the different schemes for offset/paying for electricity is so weird.  I don't get paid either currently, I think I can sell my offset back to the power company (at a rate MUCH less than what I pay) and set my net metering back to 0.  There's that, and Renewable Energy Credits in Virginia that only last like 3 years, and have their own market rate that fluctuates like the stock market.
