  • There’s no rules across instances, votes are whatever you want them to be. Either yes this is good/right/ilikeit/peopleshouldseeit or no it’s wrong/spam/misinformation/wrongcomm/idontlikeit/idontlikeyou/ithurtmyfeelings.

    Down votes could easily be for the source, Marques has done some questionable stuff, or the format since it’s just a summary, or the community someone doesn’t feel like it belongs in this community.



  • I suspect the added cost/environmental cost of adding a slightly more complicated setup than panel <-> fixed resistor, such as an mppt would be a worthy tradeoff.

    I understand the point of the blog is to reduce the inputs to simplify, especially in eschewing batteries, but I suspect the loss in efficiency of not tracking the max power point would be significant.

    I do like the concept though, in terms of shifting heat from daytime to later in the day, and localizing it into a box, rather than heating your whole house. It feels like the kind of thing you would put in your bedroom to help keep it warm into the evening.
