RE: What is all this Off Grid Stuff anyhow? And why the civil war over it?
Less on steemit, but there are a lot of passionate people here. Good sources of information though, a lot of practical experience. I hope maybe I toned them down a little, and made them see that even with the differences, they are kindred spirits.
How do you like this?

I like it. Maybe specify in that article that stranded wire is important to use. Otherwise...nice read.
Sorry, I always use stranded wire, never even considered anything else, my bad. We just made that correction, I guess, LOL!
:)Yeah it is an easy oversight. I often ask myself when I am trying to spread information: 'What about this am I taking for granted and would a child understand it?' I am in no way perfect at it all but I give it my best.
The last time I use solid wire, I stripped the insulation and made coils for an antennae tuner.
:)I avoid it unless I am doing AC power or just need to create a ground.
I use stranded wire on AC also, easier to pull through conduit.
:)That is a good tip to keep in mind. :) Thanks.
I am lazy, so I like easy pulls. I have no idea how many miles of wire I have pulled into conduit, but it is quite a few, LOL!
:D
