A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

When you've bolted the panels to your roof, wired everything up, charged the batteries off the mains and flipped the breaker on the solar ahead of turning the master switch, there's more apprehension than waiting in your own wedding processional.
I believe it, most especially in your specific case.
Basically, there are three possible outcomes. The preferred one when you flip that master switch is that everything works.
The second is that nothing happens, and now you have to figure out what the fuck has gone wrong.
The third is an electrical fire.
