In this Unplugged LIVE replay, we test the hosts against the live chat in our first-ever DIY solar game show: the Unplugged Board. Six rounds of Family Feud style questions, face-offs, three strikes and steals. Chat dominated all night and took it 400 to 258. If you think you know solar better than we do, play along and keep score at home.
Topics covered:
DIY solar trivia: what kills a solar battery
Why a solar array makes zero power
The tool question, safety gear, and solar panel testers
What to power first when the grid goes down
Critters vs solar equipment: wasps, mice, snakes, and more
When your spouse hates the solar hobby (double points round)
Weekly check-ins: threading PV line and crawl space pipe cuts, array progress, a new Home Energy Independence video and business venture, flexible conduit under the combiner box, chickens as equipment shade
Watch us live every Thursday at 8 Eastern on YouTube to participate in the discussion: Unplugged DIY Solar.
