Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Today's class in International Relations will start shortly. 011
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Here is my 19.5 kW contribution, such as it is. We need to make it much easier to do this. 060
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 04/08/2026The batteries are Discover HELIOS 16.1 kWh LFP. Has to be UL 9540 certified for Ontario installation. 010
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Lol, you are being technically rational. My inverter is UL 1741 SB compliant too. Count the disconnects in the photos below... Compliance orgs move slowly here. (Answer: 5 in photos, 1 off screen, all due to Ontario electrical code compliance) 120
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 24/07/2026First #solarpower from my new whole home #solarybattery system. 9.5 kW demand from battery recharge & full house loads using photovoltaics only Next up: ESA inspection & start #netmetering I have aspired to residential #solarenergy generation for a long time. This is a life goal achieved. 281
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Photon catcher installation has commenced. #solarinstallation 020
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 21/07/2026#LoadDisplacement now in operation from my new #Solarbattery Still awaiting #solarinstallation completion to commence #netmetering PV export. Smoke & tstorm delays on play. As of today from 7am-7pm I am operating fully off-grid using my 48.3 kWh Discover Energy Systems HELIOS batteries. 000
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Energy independence looks like this.... 48.3 kWh whole home residental BESS 18.5 kW solar PV generation 17 kW NG generator of last resort 2 BEVs Electric bill 📉 90% NG bill 📉 >75% Gasoline bill 📉 $0 033
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 17/07/2026As Built. In service. Finally. 48.3 kWh Discover Helios battery bank. Sol-Ark 15k whole home hybrid inverter. Stupid number of disconnects. Next up: 18.5 kW of #PV going in right now. #BESS #solarBattery #loadDisplacement #solarinstallation 001
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 17/07/2026It is done. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 The moment of #ESA approval of the 48.3 kWh Discover HELIOS and Sol-Ark 15k #BESS battery energy storage side of my #solarbattery #solarbatterysystem The 18.5 kW rooftop #photovoltaic #solarinstallation final phase started today! 020
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 18/06/2026#LFP #Batteries arrive for my whole home solar battery #solarinstallation 48.3 kWh, 3 x 16.1 kWh Discover Helios delivered, ready for unboxing and installation. Real beasts to move. Discover Energy is a 🇨🇦 battery manufacturer. #solarpower #solar 000
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 17/06/2026The heart of every #solarinstallation begins with a single piece of gear. In this case, the heart of my whole home solar battery is #SolArk #solar 000
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Lol watching you argue with accounts on my block lists. Your willingness to try to teach is heroic. "Never have so many people had access to so much knowledge, and yet been so resistant to learning anything." - @radiofreetom.bsky.social 020
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 28/03/2026@professormusgrave.bsky.social JFC Professor. Depraved indifference. 010
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 19/02/2026I was hanging out with friends in Bill Buxton's graphics lab at UofToronto just after that in undergrad. They went to Alias. I did Internet infrastructure. But I have always have maintained my interest in computer graphics fundamentals. Pixar was doing gob smacking things back then. 120
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Sorry. There is a sudden, IT industry wide shortage of DDR5 memory. Seems to be spreading to other types. Claimed driver is hyperscaler genAI builds. Distribution channels are *widely* stock out with claim of no resupply coming for months. Much worse than the recent GPU shortage. 100
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 15/11/2025From my 2022 Twitter billboard thread. Still true today. 161
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 27/09/2025I fed one. Then I had 2 to feed. Then 3. Then 4. They agreed not to fight if and only if I fed them all, at the exact same time. Otherwise, Territory War. Then they decided I was not feeding them enough... 120
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 24/09/2025Could use this to kickstart a Taylor Swift as Chemistry textbooks thread. 000
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 16/09/2025The Altruan Pluslife molecular SARS2 tester¹ is available on the shop app in Canada! The *vet* version. 🤣 Highly accurate sars2 molecular testing, but only for your pets! Noone should go and use this for humans, right? 😉 ¹Also flu A, B, RSV, strep tests available 011
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 16/09/2025So Altruan lists it as unavailable in Canada on both the altruan.com and altruan.de web sites. Customer service says they won't ship to Canada. But it is orderable on the shop app & successfully ships from Germany (via DHL I assume)? Why didnt they direct me to the shop app? Very confusing. 210
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Canadian Armed Forces doesn't have that many bases for heaven's sake. 021
Eric Carroll @ericcarroll.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Some weirdness on the link. Clicking on the bluesky link card gets me the error attached. Clicking on the page's left corner icon gets me to the list. 000
