What have people been up to?

  • Chewie: Adding a new solar charge controller to his setup (Morningstar TriStar TS-MPPT-60).
  • Severin: Working on a DIY solar charge controller (project on hackaday.io) and a MicroGrid connection unit (GitHub Repo)
  • Uli: Working on his solar setup, it's not connected yet. Unsure about what to do with the energy, as he doesn't want to tap into the "regular" grid
