Don’t Blow It: Why Solar Arrays Need Solar Fuses
It’s not unusual that solar photovoltaic (PV) systems would require
fuses – after all, these installations can carry substantial electrical
loads, so overcurrent protection is critical to their safe operation.
What is remarkable, though, are the conditions under which PV panels,
their conductors, and their wiring can operate.

Building Smarter: Integrating Solar Backup Batteries in Modern Homes
Recently, my wife and I spent about two months down in Little Rock,
Arkansas for medical reasons. We rented an Airbnb property, a four
bedroom house with two baths. It’s more than we need, but considering
our daughter and son-in-law were going to bring our granddaughters down
for visits during school breaks… it was really just right.

have undertaken lighting upgrades over the last decade to move to more
efficient LED lamps and fixtures.

This Ain’t Your Great Aunt Betty’s Room Radiator!
Uncle Bob and Aunt Betty's two-story farmhouse was a haven for my
brother and me during our childhood. While it didn't boast modern
amenities, the old-fashioned radiators under each window ensured a cozy
warmth throughout the house. These radiators were a blessing during cold
winters, providing a spot to dry our snow-soaked gloves.

Guess What? Fuses Still Matter
Up until three years ago, I lived with a couple small boxes of spare
fuses that sat on top of the water heater in the basement, ready to be
drawn from should the rare combination of, say, the toaster and
microwave operating at the same time happen to shut down power to the
kitchen.
