With PG&E I had to move my main service panel because of its proximity to the gas meter. That made it easier to coordinate because I got...

Weight is typically not the issue, it is uplift from wind. Less panels will reduce that as well.

I evaluated capitalizing the equipment and taking the credit, versus expensing it and concluded it was better to just expense it and...

If you can disable the balancing on the JBD BMS then #2 is the least expensive. I had good luck with the 2 Amp JK active balancer. I...

Track your.losds and let them inform your decision.

It is a trade off that may turn on your rates. Clearly the greatest annual production will come from panels facing due South..However...

heat shrink!!!

One way is to use a tempering valve and make the attic water heaters a little hotter that the larger one down the line so the cold water...

That arrangement would reduce the stress on bus bars from cell expansion, but that clearance would worry me. One solution would be...

I am on NEM 2.0 and last year all I paid was $230 in NBCs. Charging overnight creates approximately $0.025/ kWh in NBCs. They covered...

I think 50-60% shoiuld work for new cells. My cells were two to three years old and as I mentioned, only three of them were swollen and...

No, that was not my point. 50-60% is a good number for long term storage. The rest of my cells were fine with no swelling. My point was...

3.375V is regarded as a good voltage to ensure negligible discharge occurs when held at float and no over-charge.
