Folding power controls how much of your computer's resources Folding@home uses.
If you want to see what your high performance system can do crank it up to Full.
If your computer starts to stress out move it to Light to give it a break.
These settings have the following meaning:
Light 20%
Medium 60%
Full 100%
Actual usage will be less than these values and depends on how many CPU cores your system has available and what other processes are running on your computer at the time.

Even if you’re in a cloudy area, solar panels produce around 25 percent as much energy as they would on a sunny one. Also, despite popular belief, solar panels actually operate more efficiently in colder climates than in warmer ones. [links]

In a home, solar panels are connected to a grid inverter, which is then connected to the existing electrical network in your house. In an RV, van, or boat, you can choose from a range of different inverters based on your specific energy needs.

From a small 50 watt portable solar panel to keep your devices charged to powerful 300 watt panels to mount on the roof of your tiny home or cabin, there’s a solar panel for everyone. How many panels do you need to keep things charged up in your home? Is it possible to run a refrigerator on a solar panel? With some simple calculations it’s easy to ensure your solar installation will meet your energy needs.

The average refrigerator takes about three or four average solar panels to run. The average refrigerator found in the United States uses approximately 57 kWh per month while the average freezer uses 58 kWh. Adding those together brings a combined total of 115 kWh.

If you are off-grid, your panels will have stored excess energy in your battery bank for you to tap into at night when your panels are not collecting power.

To get an accurate calculation of what you can and cannot power with a single 300 watt solar panel, you’ll need to compare the output per day or month (so 2.5 kWh/day for the solar panel) with the needs of an appliance (3.8kWh/day for a refrigerator). In this example, a 300 watt solar panel would not be enough to power that refrigerator.

There are two options for the hull interior layout. The boat is either a single-skin RIB, where you walk on the inside of the hull bottom or a double-skin RIB where you walk on a flat floor inside the boat. The single-skin types are by far the lightest RIBs available. These boats will not have a storage locker in the bow. They also accumulate bilge water in the V bottom; your feet and cargo are almost always wet. While this is not perhaps a problem in the islands, a lot of our cruising would be in temperate climes.

The decision to go to a RIB was a simple one. The hard, slightly V’d bottom planes easier, runs faster and turns better than an air floor. The RIB tows better and is far less likely to flip when under tow. The bottom is better suited for beaching without worrying about sharp objects. With a RIB, it is easier to clean the sand out of the boat.This was a constant issue on our air floor, where we had to wash under the floor to get the sand out after each cruise. Talking to cruisers, we found the consensus is to go with a boat between 9ft and 11ft with the biggest outboard you can handle.

As full-time cruisers, we knew that our dinghy would be in near daily use. Our beagle, Aurora, was pretty well pad-trained, but she deserved a run on the beach twice a day. There are creeks, gutters and hidden coves to explore, white sandy beaches to shell and reefs to snorkel. It would be nice to have the space and power be able to carry a tank of propane, blocks of ice and a week’s worth of provisions out to the boat. We plan to spend close to six months a year in the tropics. We will beach on sand and shell, rock and coral. Clearly, some sort of a hard-bottom tender was in order.  [links]

Double skin RIBs have a flat interior floor and a sump or bilge area to accumulate spray and water. These boats carry a weight penalty, being 10-20 percent heavier than the equivalent single skin RIB. We were leaning towards a flat floor design with a bow locker, even with the extra weight penalty.

The efficiency of your power supply can make a big difference in total power usage. Typical efficiencies for power supplies run between 70% and 90%. here

A smart LED controller communicates with your smart home using some kind of wireless “language” (protocol). You have basically three protocols to choose from: WiFi, Zigbee, or Z-Wave.

Despite all the great benefits of the channel, there are installations where the extra cost of the channels just isn’t worth it. more

However, if you’re doing a large installation, you probably don’t want wires hanging around everywhere. In that case, a clean install usually requires multiple LED driver power supplies and running wires through walls. [links]

Various parts of the country receive different amounts of daily sunlight at various times throughout the year. To figure out your location’s average sun hours per day, you’ll want to determine the peak sun hours, not just the times at which the sun rises and sets. Peak sun hours are the times at which an hour of sunlight is equal to at least 1,000 watts per square meter. more

After using the Renogy solar panel calculator to determine the recommended solar panel system, you may want to figure out the solar panel cost per watt for your proposed energy system. Doing so will help you calculate whether using solar power will be worth it for your unique situation. more

After using the solar panel calculator and purchasing everything you need for your system, it may be possible to install your home solar panel kits on your own. To do so, you’ll not only need to be handy, but you’ll need to have experience with electricity and the ability to safely and securely climb onto your roof. [links]

Solar panels come in a wide range of sizes, from as small as five watts up to 400 watts per panel. The cost per watt has to factor in how many panels you need and at which size. In most states, the solar panel cost per watt ranges between $2.25 and $3.25. more
