Here you go.

Already had a few years of hands on experience when I took 3 online courses from Solar Energy International, (SEI). I took Grid Direct, Off Grid and PV design courses. These are NABCEP accepted courses which help prep you for getting your NABCEP certification. If anybody is looking to make a...

Maybe, apples and oranges but I can say, I have been using hardwired 12volt solar panels to radiator fans for about 9 years now and they have lasted for years. the speed of the fans vary, depending on the intensity of the sun but in my case (moving hot air out of my garage) the more intense the...

What is the max Voc. allowed? Can you create a single string, or two possibly?

When re-connecting back to 24 volts be sure they have equal, or very close SOC.

Old thread. Started 9 months ago.

One large, 550 watt panel will give you plenty of power for a 12 volt, truck set up. Wiring and mounting is so much simpler and cost effective compared to multi small 12 volt panels, fusing and excess hardware.

As long as this thread has been resurrected I have a question as well. Say you have a 24 or 48 volt system running through one of these "load output" type controllers. Are the load out terminals still putting out 12 volt nominal voltage?

A jiggle hose is my go-to method of gas transfer

Can't have your cake and eat it too.

I have installed a couple Midnite Solar MN3024 DIY units for friends. Haven't had any problems with them thus far. One thing I like about the low dc input voltage models is that you can shut down the inverter while the pv still charges the batteries. Handy if you are running lead acid batteries...

The OEM's are metric and was getting a lot of wings.

Well, I have to say, I have one of the 45 dollar 16 ton crimpers and these Temco dies fit my crimper just fine.

Like I said, Heavy use for over 10 years and they are still work great.
