Higher voltage means less current and smaller, cheaper wires, but AFAIK most residential setups are lower voltage. Series wiring is bad if any panels are shaded or not working well, lowers power of entire array.

I thought most of the residential solar panels worked at only 12-48VDC? Of course this has to be converted via an inverter to 120-240VAC.
I'm considering playing with solar and power stations at the cottage we're going to build. Just looking into it

I think you mean voltage, not amperage, it's more akin to pressure, amperage is like flow.

Doing stuff like this used to be my job...
Dealt with medium-voltage breakers and switchgear, 4160volt stuff on the high side of the transformers. Most of our equipment ran on 600 volts.

Don't know why you'd think it's that low, fascism is quite popular in the USA. 38% think it's fine.

I got it out!!
I really don't want to open up this engine, first, it'll have to come out, then there are 4 timing chains on the back end of the engine. It would be many hundreds just in tensioners, guides, and gaskets.

It's fooling lots of Americans, they're in a cult, they're now wearing shirts that say they don't care that he's a pedophile. He's given them permission to be the worst people ever...and they're running with it.

We have lots of coyotes here at the edge of town, had a whole pack yodeling and yipping in the field next door a couple of nights ago. My boy sheltie likes to yip back at them, he's way too friendly and thinks they are too...

Oh. If they forgot to put oil in it....as in it didn't leak out, there was none, they may owe you an engine. How far did you get and why did you stop?
You might want to get an oil analysis done to see if there is a lot of metal particles now in the oil...in case your engine conks out next month.

So did they mess up the drain plug, or the oil filter?

What happened? Did the oil drain plug come out? If so, don't even start the engine!!
