I’ve got 8 450 watt panels mounted to my fence, hooked into two Pecron E3600 batteries with one expansion each. If i were starting now I’d get the F5000 instead bsky.app/profile/nowm...
Do you mind giving a few specs on your setup? Looking to get something but there’s a wild amount of conflicting info out there.

You may know that Peter Gethin won the non-championship #F1 #RaceOfChampions in an #F5000 Chevron. #AnorakFact: it was the only race other than the ’69 non-championship F1 #MadridGP, won by Keith Holland (who turns 90 today) in a Lola (pic), in which an F5000 car beat F1 cars.

I love my Ford F5000 Childmower and rolling coal…almost as much as I love Civil Rights! I exist and I’m thiiis close to voting for Democrats. If only they’d do something about those goddamn *technical difficulties screen*
I’m gonna be honest with you, Rubester, I don’t think “dominance, power, and big trucks” are traits of masculinity but more traits of a huge asshole.

I’m sad to hear of the passing of Andrea de Adamich, who raced Ferraris, McLarens (pic), Marches, Surtees & Brabhams in #F1, Surtees in #F5000, & Alfas at Le Mans. He was 84. #RIPAndreaDeAdamich

Remembering John Cannon, born #OnThisDay in ’33. He started one #F1 GP, Watkins Glen ’71 (BRM; pic). But he was a prolific racer outside F1 - #F2, #USRRC, #F5000, #CanAm & #IndyCar (#USAC) - & he’d surely have enjoyed more success had he started racing earlier. PS: nice Saab 95.
