Let’s be honest with ourselves; we ARE living under a Dictatorship, it’s called the LEFT and is all powerful. It can strip away our Constitutional Rights at will with no one to stop them. We are simply out numbered by the Lefts’ uninformed voters, financially ignorant politicians along with their supportive news media. The end is near, prepare for it!

Solar 12 volt power can burn your house down!
Over at
Backwoods Home I found this story written by their writer Electrical Engineer,
Jeff Yago. It’s worth a look and a reminder that 12 volt solar systems are not
idiot proof. They can be a fire hazard if installed improperly.
Before completing such a project, one must know the in's and out's totally and make sure to maintain the system.............otherwise you will end up with a problem. That advice goes with anything you install, or complete.
In 1999, I put in a full blown system. Solar cells, inverter, generator, battery bank, the works. I hired a company in South Carolina to come install the thing for me. They warned me about fire hazards, especially about "gassing" from the battery bank. Your post reminded me of that.
Even properly installed systems are dangerous if not properly maintained. A group of ignored batteries are dangerous. just my two cents worth.
