Solar Charge Controller Market Projected to Garner Significant Revenues By 2031
A solar charge controller or charge regulator is basically used in solar energy systems to protect batteries from overcharging by regulating the current or voltage produced through solar panels. Solar charge controllers are available with additional abilities, including lighting fixtures and load control. These controllers serve an important purpose in energy systems that avoid damage to batteries in solar systems. Solar charge controllers are used as a battery backup in grids, which might be linked to solar systems. In addition, these controllers are utilized to enhance the battery life in the systems. These regulators stop batteries from overcharging and help to protect them from voltage fluctuations. The solar charge controller widely finds its application in residential solar systems, industrial systems, in which solar panels are used for power operations and utility-scale solar projects. The solar charge controller market size was valued at $1.8 billion in 2021 and is estimated to reach $3.4 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2022 to 2031.

Factors, including government initiatives and investment towards the promotion of solar energy, a growing development of off-grid electrical systems, and growing solar power installations are the key drivers of the solar charge controller market. The solar home systems segment is expected to grow progressively with the increase in power demand from residential consumers across the globe. It is further resulting in fast urbanization and spurring the demand for renewable power such as solar power. Furthermore, growing awareness concerning the benefits of solar power is expected to drive the solar charge controller market. MPPT is anticipated to witness a high growth rate and is the most desired solar charge controller.
Depending on type, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) segment registered the highest solar charge controller market share of about 43.3% in 2021, and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to the rise in the deployment of solar power generation infrastructure across the globe.
In addition, MPPT solar charge controllers extract maximum power from solar panels, and the high efficiency & performance of MPPT as compared to PWM solar charge controllers, thus are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
By battery capacity, the 20A to 40A segment holds the largest share, in terms of revenue, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% during the solar charge controller market forecast period. This is attributed to a rise in demand for solar charge controllers with a current capacity of 20A to 40A from off-grid cabinets, homes, caravans, telecommunications, and remote solar power generation sites. In addition, rapid investment in solar power generation is anticipated to fuel the growth of the solar charge controller market trends in the coming years.

Solar Caravan 2021- Intro + Introductions
Tumblr media
Hello and welcome to Solar Caravan 2021. This year we are going to be doing it a little differently. Once a week I will release a prompt for the caravan to respond too. These prompts are to help us build a world together, and explore our characters. You can respond with any medium you prefer; art, writing, dance, song, crafts, or math if you can get that to work. Really whatever is comfortable. There will be a week between each prompt, but if it takes you longer to make your responses that is absolutely okay. You could join and respond whenever you want. Your character can truly be Anything. My only request is that you keep public works PG-13 and that your Character will find happiness. People go through tragedy, but at least here everyone can get the love and respect they deserve. Don’t be afraid to add to the world either! This is a flexible dream like place, a lot can exist within it. You can look to the previous years of the Solar Caravan or @lunarcaravan​ to get an idea of what we tend to go for. But I am always welcome to new ideas, and new mediums. 
Last Solar Caravan was led by my character named Argo. He is a shy magic user who spent most of his time in the Machine which leads the Caravan, or walking about trying not to draw attention to himself. In the Lore, the reason Argo started the Caravan was to “find someone” but that is all anyone really knew. The first Solar Caravan stopped when Argo was close to the end of his quest.
Now the Caravan has returned, and this time Argo is not alone. Nor is he the one leading. Instead you are greeted by an enthusiastic soul with long green hair and bright red eyes. 
First Impression
Within the Caravan you are going to meet a lot of people. So here is a chance to introduce your character(s) to the Caravan. What do you think is important that people know about your character, and what would your character want to be known? If you are one for art this would be a good time to draw their appearance. If you do not do that sort of thing, you could always create a mood board (so long you properly credit where the photos come from).
Now time to meet Argo’s lover, Ven. Ven is a beautiful humanoid that radiates magical energy. Greets his friends with a kiss on the cheek, and seems to be in love with a lot of folk. Ven’s fashion goes from flowing skirts and robes, to skin tight crop tops. At the dinner fires Ven will dance till he’s too tired to move. It is said Ven is as magical as his love, but it is a very different kind of magic. While Argo makes complex spells and intricate sigils to get Just the right spell. Ven’s magic is an extension of himself, and isn’t used much in day to day life. Other than the fact Ven is more static-y than others.   
Full Name: Ven Ali [Redacted]
Age: Considers himself a young adult, but most likely won't physically age again for another hundred years. 
Stars of Birth: The constellation of the traveling King was in the northern skies when he was born. It tells the tale of a king who abandoned his position to personally meet all of the people within his kingdom. The King died in the comfort of a stranger's home, and left a portion of all his wealth to each person he met. 
Element: Stuck between Air and Earth, thus storms.

Royal Owl Mount Zuri
Once Vinnie became comfortable with Nissa’s giant owl he got very interested in her harness and fancy get up. He loved the colour combinations and the way it sounds when she moved but something had bothered him slightly.
The bridle. Owls have long necks and one of their prime advantages is their ability to swivel their heads. While the bridle didn’t completely take away Zuri’s ability to do so, her movement would be restricted by the bridle. Depending on how her rider held the reigns Vinnie could see the bridle design getting in the way of Zuri being able to take in her full surroundings.
So, he decided to fix that himself.
He spent a few weeks gathering the necessary supplies to dye rope the same deep royal blue as the rest of the accents. He spent a couple more searching and trading with others to get a shiny gold piece to match the gold accents on the harness. Despite his efforts Vinnie never could scavenge enough for the handlebars at the back, but he hoped the pop of silver wouldn’t be too distracting.
“This should help Zuri be more comfortable, yes, yes.” Vinnie nodded to himself as he looked over his work. A pang of self conscious dread washed over him briefly and he hoped that Nissa didn’t mind his suggestions to modify the royal mount’s tack.

One morning a creature full of static who constantly seems to have issues staying on this plane appears. Shrouded in handmade, handstitched pieces of fabric.  Pouches, bags, and bottles hang off the figure with a large picnic basket strapped to their back and their limbs carry even more baskets and hanging bags.  Herbs, plants, mushrooms and all sorts of odd bits of string can be seen poking out of the containers with the bottles each full of a different colored liquid.
The figure approaches the caravan and speaks in multiple voices at once.  
“Hello, I am one of a cunning folk.  I don’t know if you’ve seen one like me before.”
Their hands fidget, a constant blur.  And as the cunning folk bowed deeply in greeting their hands dash through pouches and baskets and blur in motion with something green as they speak.
“I hope you will accept my creations.  I can fix up anything you have that needs improving, I can create clothing and warmth for those who need it, and heal the ills of any who have them..... as well as intoxicate those who have worries that need scattering.”  A warm smile settled onto their hooded face and their eyes brightened..  Not any particular color of eyes, but ever shifting, Two eyes, most of the time.
“I am not sure how old I am, I have existed as long as the urge to create has existed.  I am of this earth but also of the aether.  I have a hard time staying on this plane....so if I get turn to static just bring me something you’ve made my hand to fawn over and I’ll come back. Thank you for accepting me into your caravan!
“you see for me, it is love to create for someone else. To craft objects for others is love for community, love for other, love for another individual.  I can keep others warm with love, keep them from falling ill with love, keep them fed and clothed with love, love that comes from my hands moving, repeating well known patterns and giving of those skills is how I know how to be a member of any group.  Love is caring for another with whatever you know how to do.
“Do you mind if I stay with you? I’d so much like to put my skills to use in caring for others.” Their hands present a finished object to you.  A vine and flower crown, perfectly sized for your head rests upon ever shifting palms, though the crown stays still.  “Here. for you!”

@solarcaravan​ Vinnie says Love Is....
Tumblr media
Love is everything soft and warm. A pat on the shoulder from a warm hand in winter, a gentle scritch from a trusted friend, head pressing with a family pet, or even the sun filtered through the leaves..
When the world is cold and hard, love is what sustains you.
Even when you are all alone, the love of all who have loved you remains. Everything you were taught, every time you laughed, every secret you shared, every fleeting moment you spent with them becomes a part of you.
Love is the accumulation of everything and knowing that we are all one. Like the sleeping pile back home, we are all bundled together against the dark and the cold so each of us can be comfortable and warm. 
We sustain each other and love sustains us all.

Me: oh, look! Solar caravan is back! I should make a little piece of art in memory of Aethel and Tata! I won't participate, but maybe a small sketch!
Me twenty minutes later: okay but what if Aethel died and her snake Tata found a new companion who found himself on the 2021 caravan!?!?!?

Argo is so happy the Syri can finally come over, and Ven eager explains all the little knick Knacks about the room. Argo is now very interested at the thought of a shared dream. Can people truly meet one another in a dream? Ven jokes that all their subconscious’s mixed together would be one Wild time.
“There are lots of musicians and artists within the caravan,” Argo speaks warmly. In the privacy of his home he is without a mask, and his golden eyes crinkle with a smile. “The nightly fires have lots of music. I am sure someone would love to teach.”
“And if you need someone else to do the asking?” Ven winks, “I’m always around, and if I’m not Prax will”
Stained glass wings would suit Syri very well. They’d send shimmering reflects of light, and change with the day. It fits nicely✨
Tea Time
Syri had not been in the caravan long, but he did know many kind faces filled its ranks, and that went doubly so for Ven and Argo. Syri himself was still his shy self. The caravan came to a rest, and he was surprised when he was invited to the strange machine for tea. Ven’s smile was kind, and Syri mirrored his sheepishly, but with much warmth. “Hello Ven, it’s good to see you.” He spoke in a soft tone, much like elves.
Syri walked by his side, his tail trailing lazily, and his larger wing like hands had no hint of the large hidden eyes in the palms, they were closed most of the time. “Oh that’s wonderful, I do love tea, very much in fact. I’m glad you caught me before i made some for myself. Truly? I would enjoy a vanilla or a lemon lavender?” His dreams had left those tastes in his mouth. Feelings, memories… He shook himself from his deep thought, remembering he was with people.
Syri’s lips parted in awe of the space, the mismatched style much to his liking. He enjoyed bright colors, smells textures… he took it all in, so different from what he was used too. This space was made, lived in, and beautiful because of it existed outside of himself, and he adored it. Syri’s ears pricked in a sudden start when Ven shouted, his dark fur raising slightly, but it quickly flattened as he put a hand to his chest and chuckled gently at himself. “Oh excuse me I was so taken by your home… It’s alright! I’m easily startled.”
He flushed and brushed his purple locks from his face, the eyes on his palms slowly cracking open, as if gently testing if they were safe to do so out of the sun. They closed quickly if anyone made eye contact. Syri met Argo’s gaze, smiling in greeting, sharp teeth hidden behind dark lips for a unique smile. “Hello Argo. The tea smells like a dream…” Indeed, his mouth watered, very happy to taste the selection they had. The being gingerly took a seat, making sure not to scuff anything with his hooves and wrapped his tail neatly about himself.
“It’s alright, You have been busily tending to other new friends, so many new faces. I’m happy to be here now.” His ears pricked up at the mention of lavender. “Yes I’ll take that, one of my favorites.” He made his tea with cream and sugar, but only a touch of sweet. He loved lots of cream. He stirred and admired how the cream made the tea a shade of pastel purple.
Syri answered his questions, gentle laughs peppered in, tasting the tea and savoring how it made him feel in the wake of his nightly dream walks. He said he had been in the caravan for no more then a few weeks, though time was an odd thing to him at the moment. He enjoyed string instruments, mostly the lute, and had interests in learning to play some day himself. His skill for most things only existed in dreams, and he joked that if they all dreamed together, he could play for him sometime. Syri would want wings of stained glass, like the kind the Dream Elves so often made and he admired.

Caravan Valentines💛
So Valentine’s Day is coming up, and I wanna do something special with you all. I also want to say I love you! I’m really grateful to all the folk who have joined the Caravan, or just enjoy seeing its contents. This project brings me a lot of joy, and I really want you all to be living your safest most love filled lives. While I can’t make that true in real life. I can in fiction! So thank you, and I truly do love you.
For Valentine’s Day I have some ideas of how we can celebrate!
Draw your idea(s) of Love - so If you’ve seen my art before. You might seen my Energy paintings. Where I make abstract pieces to express an emotion. A lot of my work actually are paintings of my ideas on love. Love is always expanding so I’ll never be able to pin it down. Love is also unique to each person, and so I would really love to see what you would make! It could be abstract, illustrative, conceptual, or just a doodle! Whatever it is I would love to see.
Write whatever comes to your mind after your choice of phrase. “Love is ____” “love needs____” “Love wants____”
Send some love too people through their ask box! These could be notes written in character, or from creator to creator. I think we all love getting asks, but the best way to start that up is if we ask people questions ourselves first.
Either way! I hope you all have a wonderful week and a love filled Valentine’s Day💛

Caravan Vinnie
“How can Vinnie help you, yes?”
@solarcaravan
Personal History:
Vinnie is the youngest of a very large family who lives on the edge of a peaceful woodland. 
For most of his childhood Vinnie was a tag-along with his older siblings and never really had friends of his own beyond the family. He was loved and their home was happy, but being the youngest he still felt unappreciated and unseen sometimes. It didn’t help that normally only young kits have spotted patches on their fur, but it seems Vinnie never grew out of his.
Vinnie’s always been a tinkerer, having had many hand-me-down toys and devices he picked up a knack for making things. They were never... pretty exactly, and they were all very obviously cobbled together from disparate parts, but they were functional. As he grew older his passion for collecting broken parts and tinkering mixed with a sense of wanderlust. Vinnie joined the Caravan as it passed his home, with tearful goodbyes and a basket full of baked goods Vinnie set out to create his scrap shop from whatever is left behind as the Caravan moves.

My Dearest Cunning Folk,
There are no words to express how touched I am by the gift you gave me. It will help with my work quiet a lot. Honesty can be such a scary thing, but it really does help get the ball rolling. With that I must say! My heart skipped a beat when I got such a loving gift from you. Now it is racing and I hope my affection comes through clearly. You are a most wonderful being who has provided so much delight to this world. I am truly lucky to be in your favor 💛. I would love to learn how to make some crafts with you
With lots of Love,
Cupid
This cunning folk blurs in a flustered pink static.  
“Oh my goodness gracious.  I would be honored to teach you any making method you wish!” The folk bows deeply again, unsure of what else to do to show respect.  “Should...... could..... would you want to help me make gifts for the others in the caravan?  I have many a component and some ability to mutate items to suit an individual” Their hands blur over their pouches, baskets and bags and assemble a selection of items into an open basket and offers it out.  
The basket contains many hues of roses, sunflowers, lilies and forget-me-nots as well as bits of string and ribbon and some gauzy netting fabric of different colors.

Tea Time in the Machine
Prompt by @solarcaravan
Vinnie takes his time outside of the machine. He never really worked up the nerve to get this close to it before. Such a strange mix of organic-ish material and machinery itself. In his mind he was trying to deconstruct it into the most plausible parts, though he would never think about actually trying to disassemble this beauty of a beast. He placed a hand against the machine and feels its gentle thrum. Even at rest, it seems, the machine still breathed. “You are a good.” He whispers to it before leaving it with a gentle pat.
Vinnie leaps into Ven’s arms so that he doesn’t have to reach down for the hug but quickly, a bit self-consciously, hops off almost immediately after a squeeze.
Vinnie sees that his hosts have made their appearances most fancy and was happy to have scavenged a belt that he’d modified to have an artistic belt buckle looking like a leaf from his favourite tree back home.
There had been no need for clothing in the forest. Most of the tall folks left Vinnie’s people alone, many believed them to just be large squirrels and leave it at that. But being out and about in the wider world Vinnie knew there was purpose and function to clothing beyond just keeping one warm or to help cool one down. He knew many tall folks dressed themselves up like magpies and he thought it was a quaint custom.
“Thank you for inviting me, yes. Your Machine is astounding home.” Vinnie nodded as though speaking the most simple truth. “Wonderful heart,yes.”
Vinnie requests whichever earthiest tea they have. Nothing was like the pine needle teas his mom would make, with a little rosehip and a dash of cinnamon, but Vinnie wasn’t hard to please.
He places a hand against one of the doorframes and then gazed toward a different wall. Vinnie knew a cobbled together creation when he saw one. “All different but come together. The Spirit of the Caravan. The Soul of Creations. Yes… Yes.”
Vinnie startles when Ven yells up to Argo. He smiles up to Ven and brushes off his feet before entering. He marvels at all of the artwork and the patchwork of colour. Instantly any apprehension he had vanishes as everything about Ven and Argo’s home reminds hime of his own little caterpillar. Yes, Vinnie knew these were good tall folks but this absolutely cements the feeling in his heart.
He had not yet made his hosts artwork for their home, but Vinnie was still working on a few ideas and would like to know them better before attempting something sentimental.
This was the first time that Vinnie had seen Argo without his mask and was somewhat surprised. He’d seen many masks worn by many tall folks but he’d assumed the antlers had been a part of his get-up. Somehow knowing those were real antlers endears Argo even more to Vinnie. It was like taking in a whisp of home. Seeing his string beads Vinnie self-consciously fiddles with his own belt buckle.
“The Caravan is busy!” Vinnie waved his hand dismissively. “Vinnie is busy too!”)
Ven’s hand was surprisingly gentle as it set down on Vinnie’s shoulder which was a welcome surprise. He pats the tall one’s hand appreciatively. “Happy to be in your home. With you, yes.”
Of the selection Vinnie lands on a cinnamon chai blend. He waves off concern at the use of such a large cup for his small hands, but Vinnie has handled many hot things and holding tall folks tea cups would not burn his hands.
Vinnie admits his favourite music is still birdsongs. His family and people had their own songs and while he’s been with the Caravan he’s heard many lovely people sing many lovely things, but there is nothing like simply sitting in a grove listening to the birds. He is grateful for the opportunity to have traveled so far with the Caravan as he’s heard so many different birdsong which he has not before.
He wouldn’t want wings. Vinnie is absolutely adamant about that. Heights never bothered him, he could climb the machine while it roamed with no hesitation, but flying… no supports, no safeties, nothing to grab for far too long. No. Thank you.
Vinnie answers any and all questions Ven throws at him, usually with a funny story about his home to go along with it. He tells of his older sister, who for brevity he simply calls Vessa. She was always the shortest despite being one of his oldest siblings, but that was so good because it meant she could get in to the little crevasses when they were playing hide and seek and she could always reach whatever you dropped under the deck boards. His brother Fennes, on the other hand, was one of the biggest gatherers Vinnie knew. And that meant he gave the best hugs.
“…and that is why Frittess and Vunnen came home covered in honey and jay feathers!” Vinnine exclaims through breathless laughter.
Suddenly Vinnie notices that the room had become substantially darker than it was when he arrived. He’d gotten so caught up in memories from home he must have spent hours talking.  “Oh. Apologies, yes. Vinnie’s been going on all about family for so long…”
Vinnie hesitates, unsure if he overstayed his welcome or if he should ask of their families in return or…. He decides to sip his cold tea and let his apology hang in the air.

The completely unnecessary news analysis
by Christopher Smart
February 23, 2021
UTAH LEGISLATORS: OUTLAW TRANSEXUAL RIOTERS
Enough it too much. It's one thing for trans girls to cheat at soccer but when they start rioting and burning police cars they've gone too far. We have to put teeth into our laws to bring safety to cops and soccer moms. Hanging should not be ruled out — that'll make 'em think twice before cheating at volleyball. A bill that just passed out of legislative committee would outlaw burning police cars and would keep housewives in Cottonwood Heights from marching in neighborhoods dressed as Mardi Gras Indians. “Enough's enough,” said state Sen. David Hinkinbottom, who sponsored the legislation, known as the “Rioters Suck” bill. “We saw what happened in Washington, D.C.,” he said of the violent storming of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters. A companion bill sponsored by Democrats to outlaw Trump supporters died in committee. Many of the “Rioters Suck” advocates are members of the pro-gun group United Citizens Alarm who promised to never allow Utah to become Portland. A second companion bill to outlaw Portland was sent to interim committee for study.A spokeswoman for the ACLU objected to the “draconian” legislation, declaring that trans soccer players are not a threat to democracy. Nonetheless, the bill is expected to pass.
THE GREEN NEW DEAL DONE FROZE TEXAS
We warned you about them windmills. They done blew all that cold air down from Canada and now look — everything is froze. That's what Texas Gov. Gregg Abott said. It got so cold that Ted Cruz had to go to Cancun. This here so-called emergency is not from de-regulation those leftist whine about. See, down here in Texas we know how to run a free-for-all-market economy without a bunch of regulatory stuff — and that keeps the coal and gas industry happy, and that keeps our Republican lawmakers happy. We're happy and free in Texas. You see, it's people like that AOC woman — who lives in communist New York — who want to destroy freedom and jobs by saving the environment. If they had their way this place would be nothing but windmills and solar energy doohickeys. What would happen on a cloudy day with no wind — it's just like Trump said, you couldn't watch TV. Of course nobody's watching Duck Dynasty now anyhow and the pipes have all bust and there's ice on the TV set. But it's like former Gov. Rick Perry said in a call from the Ritz-Carlton in Cancun: Texans will happily freeze to death to keep the federal government from telling us what the hell to do. (Dozens of frozen dead Texans couldn't be reached for comment.)
DANCING ON THE GRAVE OF RUSH LIMBAUGH
OK, you've had your fun, now stop dancing on the grave of Rush Limbaugh. According to the LDS Church-owned Deseret News, such glee is not good for the soul. “The death of a human, including Mr. Limbaugh, doesn’t give them a free pass from accountability,” the editorial posited. “It would, however, do wonders for us to recognize our own sins of contempt, avoid dancing on the grave of the dead and cease to spew such angry vile toward anyone.” And speaking of spewing angry vile, Limbaugh did just that every day to 15 million Americans aimed at minorities, women, gays and liberals. He gave rise to Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and other broadcast haters, which eventually led to the rise of Donald Trump. Here's a taste of what Rush said: "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society." "When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; it's an invitation." "The objective (of the migrant caravan) is to dilute and eventually eliminate or erase what is known as the distinct or unique American culture … ." “There's no major sickness component associated with secondhand smoke.” Ironically, Limbaugh died of lung cancer. Darn.
Post script — Everything's coming up roses. Trump is at Mar-A-Lago, Rush is six feet under and folks are getting vaccinated. We've hit the trifecta. Great, now all we have to do is defeat Climate Change and brace for “Spermagadon.”(We are not making this up, folks.) From 1973 to 2011, the sperm count of average men in Western countries had fallen 59 percent, according to experts. Epidemiologist Shanna H. Swan's new book, “Count Down” is subtitled, “How our modern world is threatening sperm counts, altering male and female development and threatening the future of the human race.” Finally, the solution to homelessness. If you were putting off the purchase of a new Porsche or a weekend in Mesquite, this may be the excuse you've been looking for because we may soon be joining the Neanderthals in the fossil record. “Honey, you'll never guess what. I just got a great deal on a Maserati and you're just going to love the color.” Of course for men it's a double-edged sword (no pun intended). Their genealogical line could die off, but on the bright side there's reduced risk of getting the secretary pregnant. As for women, unwanted pregnancy could become a thing of the past. It could really screw up the Right-to-Life industry. Tip: Dump your stock now.
OK, Wilson, we should celebrate our good fortune. And the guys in the band are looking pretty happy. What can you drum up to send us on our merry way:
Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon Really couldn't get away too soon I can't imagine anything that's better The world is ours whenever we're together There ain't a place I'd like to be... Just groovin' on a Sunday afternoon Really couldn't get away too soon No, no, no, no We'll keep on spending sunny days this way We're gonna talk and laugh our time away I feel it coming closer day by day Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon Really couldn't get away too soon No, no, no, no Groovin', uh huh... Groovin'
(Groovin' — The Young Rascals)

Introducing Syrilium, or Syri for short. His formal title is the Weaver
Syrilium is a mysterious entity of dreams, who has only recently awoken from an eternal slumber, and is now traveling the worlds. He has joined the caravan to find fulfillment, and new places to explore, new people to meet, to create more artful dreams.
He can weave tapestries of dreams, and can, with permission, weave your most precious dreams to keep for a small fee. He is shy at first, well spoken and poetically romantic. He is gentle and creative, and adores sweets and most foods. And most of all, he likes to dream. He’ll never miss going to bed on time, if he can help it. (and once hes asleep hes out for good)
Syri is about 7′5″
He travels on foot, (or hoof) and can use magic to travel large distances, but if you offer him a ride on your wagon he will often oblige.
He has a Dream elf form as well, and he uses it to better fit in places built for smaller people, though hes more comfortable in this form here.
He dislikes bitter tastes, bad smells, and cruelness.
His age is uncertain, though he has been around for a very long time.

Reasons To Use Outback Charge Controller in Arizona and California
Using a power-driven device is common enough. It is essential to know the type of battery that one utilizes to ensure perfect functionality. Most people tend to have at least a mobile phone, camera, and/or computer today. This necessitates the use of lithium batteries. Sadly, being unaware of the applications and advantages of specific lithium batteries is essential, as is understanding its weakness and risks.
It is interesting to note that the Fortress Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery is highly popular, with its benefits having far-reaching effects. Moreover, it has multiple applications outside the household too. Lithium batteries come in different types as well. It is the lithium iron phosphate battery, or LifePO4 that has been revolutionizing entertainment and business operations slowly but surely.
A few of its applications have been endorsed by consumers who are reluctant to go for any alternative batteries at present. The end-users find the concerned batteries to be apt for the following:-
· Storage of Home Energy- The chemistry utilized in such batteries makes them one of the most popular to date. End-users are eager to source it because of its affordability and low safety risks. Sure, companies are sharply divided on the effectiveness of lithium iron phosphate batteries, but their popularity has made it a household name for varied reasons.
· Transportation- The battery is ideal for use in various vehicles, including RVs. Individuals operating forklifts, bicycles, and electric cars are satisfied with the performance of LFP batteries, while caravan and motor-home owners find it to be the best type of battery attuned to their purpose. Tesla Motors tested the chemistry on select auto models in 2021 and have decided to expand the use to other brands of automobiles slowly but surely. The Michigan-based energy storage company went a step further by retrofitting one of its models with LFP battery chemistry before testing it. The results were positive, with the vehicle found to be capable of traveling 752 miles with no recharging required.
· Solar Lighting System- AA LFP batteries are used for illuminating landscaped areas in commercial and residential premises. The prospect of lighting a LED bulb without the usage of a holder makes the cells a strong favorite today. This ensures less corrosion, no condensation, and accumulation of dirt, thus making active maintenance redundant. The lights can shine for more than 10 hours when using solar power charges of LFP batteries. Charging of the battery continues even when there is insufficient sunshine.
One may also opt for an Outback charge controller in Arizona and California to enhance the full potential of a solar system as the alternative energy production goes up by more than 30%. The investor is pleased to find the charge controller compliant with diverse designs and chemistry of batteries.
