Solar panel wiring (also known as stringing), and how to wire solar panels together, is a fundamental topic for any solar installer. It’s important to understand how different stringing configurations impact th
Voltage is split at the electric panel by adding a return path to the line transformer. You create a120-volt circuitby connecting a wire to one of the 120-volt legs (via a circuit breaker) and another to the return bus (the return wire is also called the neutral wire). The line wire...
Fencing made of wire mesh can limit voles’ access to your garden or other areas. Use a mesh with openings of ¼ inch or ⅛ inch. The smaller the mesh size, the better it is at blocking voles. Wrap the mesh around your tree trunks or line the edge of your vegetable garden to pr...
