solar setups
< PRE-DRAFT+ >
I walked around, talked with people, and tried to collect as much info about solar setups at 🔗event-cccamp2019.
Ties to:
🔗hacc-index !!!

"it actually gives more like 392V (or sth due to easy AC conversion it appears)"
cell seller:
"victor1975 ... gondo" or sth
36V to 50V
Denasun:
"pretty shit"
regulator for battery
"sth that doesn't screw the battery up"

¶Solar Connectors
talk +chewie
:
* MC4 ("marine" round ones)
* SAE (same as cht has on the foldable)
* XT60 (RC style ... at CHT):
"haven't found any that are actually waterproof"
* cig plugs suck (and will melt)
* round crimps ..:
"i need to get this in a waterproof box"
* [...]
"be careful of cheap stuff ... "

¶Missing: heating and cooling spaces (HVAC)
this is "difficult" with tents:
but which 🔗materials would be next-best?
what about building in layers?
#hexayurts have info on this
cooling seems easier, inherently because an abundance of sun is usually an abundance of heat. ;-)
also 🔗hypertent
