Solar power installed
Last Friday, 19-Apr-2019, the solar panels have been installed – 12 on front roof (facing East) and 12 on the back (facing West). It is still too early to make a prediction on the power generated, but in these few days, just under 100 kWh has been produced. Since the weather was all sunny these days, the max amount of power peaked at 4.5 kW for all 24 panels.
One of the results has been a reboot of the servers – where the technician tipped on the breakers by accident (and switched it on again) the server was not shutdown in an orderly manner – so reboot took some time due to mount verifications. But in the end, it all worked again. Or so it seems; It looks like DCHP isn’t working though the process runs normally; but the inverted failed to get an IP address – DHCP failed – and so I had to set it’s address manually within the LAN, and add a rule in the router that all traffic on one particular port is directed to this system, so that is an easy change.
For other local apparatus this is not possible as they rely on DHCP only to get their address. And since it looks like they missed out, I cannot connect to them using the Apps on my mobile…
