Name of person filing report: Shannon Rupert

Reason for Report: Routine

Non-nominal systems: Power system monitor

Action taken for non-nominal systems: Still figuring out the best option for it. It needs to be hardwired into the internet, but also close enough to the ScienceDome to connect to the data

Generator: Still being manually run at night.

ScienceDome Dual Split: Off

Solar—Charge controllers off at night.

Solar— Nominal

Notes on power system: The power system is acting crazy again. Yesterday we lost power due to another overload of the solar system. Then today the SOC is reading incorrectly again.I will look at it between crews.
