My solar panels on the roof are still on separate inverters so they don't connect directly to this system. EcoFlow is offering 6 months of interest-free payments & 5-year installment plan offer.

Get Started in Solar with Portable Power | Review of Growatt Infiniti 1300

The Growatt 1300 is a new power station. Currently it is discounted by $300. Growatt's Website for $999*: https://geni.us/Growatt1300 Before I installed the 15.6kw solar array on my roof I had wanted to get into solar but wasn't sure how. I hadn't heard of these portable power stations before but I would have been interested. If you are in that boat, they could be a good fit if you want to have portable power and get into solar power.

How to Fix Loose Macbook Pro Screen Hinge

i5MbGLCuC0o | 28 Jun 2018

How to Fix Loose Macbook Pro Screen Hinge

If your macbook pro or air screen is loose or wobbly then all you need to do to fix it is to tighten some screws. Your wobble will most likely be coming from a loose hinge that attaches to the screen display itself or the hinge that attaches to the main body of the macbook. There is one hinge on either side of the screen. Once you tighten up the screws you will have no more wobble and the lid to your mac will work as good as new. A minor correction: this is a mid-2012 macbook pro in this video. Tool Set (amazon*): https://geni.us/besttoolkit Tweezers (high quality*): https://amzn.to/2KuUVMh Also, if you want to help prevent the hinge screws from getting loose more quickly in the future you can consider using thread lock on the screws.
