I have a feeling this was not supposed to be a dovetail joint but a square joint. But I miscut the first piece and somehow managed to cut the second piece to match the first irregular cut. ;)

A new record power peak here at Nowty Towers after my recent panel upgrades. (nowtyrecord)

10.5kW on the grid ties and 1.975kW on the DC coupling, so almost 12.5kW coming in. :twisted:

The grid ties are practically at their theoretical max but there is about 1kW of headroom capacity left on the DC charge controllers. :xx:

Either way Nowty it looks a pucker job to me.
At least, I'd be very proud of it. :praise:
