HLG240 + 2 Chinese Quantum boards (not at full power) .... the 2 x330w panels should give me 2 units of electricity/day.
For some reason solar panels only seem to give 1/2 the advertised power in real life.
Over rated wattage. Where have we heard that before? So 200 W in sunlight? I was curious. Not an electrician. Hope your set up is correct. Check lighting forums. Ballast is way too small for boards.

Finished mounting the solar panels to power my grow tent.
The cows weren't much help.

Where my house is situated, in the winter, I get very little sunlight, so I take two 100W solar panels from outside and put one into each of my two flowering tents (1000W & 600W) to keep the system charged through the winter :)

They are rated at the peak power output in perfect conditions. They produce the most power when they are pointed straight at the sun which is why they make some sun tracking mounts for them. A cheaper way is to mount them to an average of the sun's angle during the year depending on latitude, or to achieve peak power during summer months.

I hav

I have some some walls that need washed/painted, send them over...lol
I have the same that needs to be done here... but it's not just the walls. We actually need to have all the walls, ceilings, floors, ducts, and 100% of our belongings that are in the house, either cleaned, painted, or replaced.
There was a fire next door 4 months ago... long story, short, we need to leave our house for a few weeks. Not looking forward to it but we're getting a remodel of sorts and some new shit.
