That's how it came, and while I've incrementally added or replaced a lot of things there's no point switching. I would probably go with 24V if starting from scratch - there's a huge market of automotive and caravan parts

Space for panels is very constrained, they already get in the way more than I'd like. I'll probably expand the battery bank at some point, but that only averages energy over a wider time period rather than increasing the total ava

That seems a pretty good definition of 'frugal' to me. To be excessively frugal would be miserly, tight-fisted or whatever. There were a couple of definitions I did think were a bit off, e.g. 'zenith' and 'nihilism&

If I'm understanding it right, the idea is that the DNS configuration for company-staging.com is identical to that for company.com - same IPs and servers, DNS provider, domain registrar. Literally the only differences are s/compa
