Rough average since April 24: ~3.7 kWh/day

Springhouse will continue elsewhere in a format better suited to the project and its documentation.

Thanks to Hackaday, DigiKey, and the judges.

Made Solid progress on the toolchain tonight. MVP across 2 separate modules. But the coolest part is that the project has 555 views. More views than I ever thought I would get.  Plus it is the same number as everyone's favorite timer. 

Thank you to everyone who checked out the project!

April 23, 2026 -

     We are now up to 500 watts of solar panels (on the 24v system) and 200 watts of solar panels on the primary 12v system, as well as having the temporary ground mount for the first string of 5 solar panels built and installed. Now we need to keep testing locations to find the best placement for the permanent ground mount to be installed. Small form factor pc load draw doesn't even make a dent now. I am testing to see if how long it will run (powered it on at 11:30 AM and is still up at 4:15pm. Will begin solar dashboard configuration next.
