#stormdarragh

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Managed to get a message out on solarcene.community that the battery was low, we've had another prolonged period of cloud including #StormDarragh and are often barely generating more then 60Wh a day. Battery got critically low yesterday and so the whole system shutdown.

I've managed to get a little bit online (network switch and the "dietpi" which manages the web requests including the blog blog.solarcene.community/ and custom 50x errors) and we are drawing 3W. Hopefully we will get a little bit of sun today though estimates are still low.

Solarcene.community will be off for the next 24hrs and perhaps even 48hrs and then I'll switch to it being online for 4hrs a day at least until the battery is in a better position.

Of course those who use solarcene won't necessarily get this message as it's offline 😁

„Thousands of people are still without power three days after the storm hit.“

"We're eating cold food as well because we don't have gas and we've lost all the food in our fridge and our freezer.“

"It's like being back in the war."

„People will die in storm power cuts, councillor says“
