You won't make -me- jealous, I have more toys than space to store
them. I wasted the morning digging around for wiring harnesses I
made
to test a solar panel controller and then put away until time to
install it, which I've finally gotten to.


Why didn't you leave the harness with the controller, duuuuude?


I put them with this temporarily wired meter.

Thinking about moving to a smaller water heater (20g) which can be
heated with lower power elements fed directly from a 24v solar array.
Hot water is nearly half my electric use, which now averages $41/mo.


I heat water for laundry in kettles on the woodstove.
