November Downtime
Another downtime. The good news is this time all of my
monitoring work as expected The cause of the downtime was
the battery slowly lost power over time until the voltage
dropped to low for the Raspberry. This was caused because
it is winter here. The sun in now in the south and hits the
pannels at a different angle part of the day, the days are shorter, and there
are many clowdy days were the sun does not shine much. To fix
the problem I bought some new pannels doubling what I had.
The new pannels are pointed more south catching the direct sun at a
different time of the day then the current ones. Once they were
installed I charged the battery full using a plug-in changer
because I felt it would be hard for everything to recover with
the battery so low. Once the battery was charged and I was
running 100% on solor I rebooted the server to start a fresh uptime
counter.
