    If you are trying to say to buy lithium, they are not going to work for me.
  • Post in thread: two inverters to make 240

    I appreciate the video. But that is going to be a bitttt beyond my comfort level. LOL
  • Post in thread: Grid tie inverter

    No the garage is on the same meter. From the meter the line comes down and splits off to the house and to the garage. It's 105 feet from the meter to the garage.
  • Post in thread: Sigineer buyer beware

    So this is just my experience but don't ever buy Sigineer products. I bought one of their charge controllers with dual trackers. Tracker number 1 wasn't working, it showed volts but no amps. After three weeks of emails and a video of the issue they insisted it wasn't something that happened...

    Thanks for not answering my question. Im simply trying to learn.

    Nope, you are good.
  • Post in thread: Inverter recomendation

    I have done a rough audit based on my power companies information. We have smart meters and can login and see our hourly consumption. But I also ordered a home meter to see the total that my house is pulling. Im not ready to pull the trigger on a new inverter soon, especially if I end up...
  • Post in thread: two inverters to make 240

    Then would connecting both inverters to say a buss bar double the wattage I have available at 120v? Or would 1 inverter fight the other?
  • Post in thread: two inverters to make 240

    The manual shows a output voltage up to 240 but doesnt say anything beyond that. http://www.giandel.com/DownView.asp?ID=7

    Have you tried this switch?
  • Post in thread: Can you run 2 devices off 1 charge controller

    I currently have a solar panel that is keeping a 12v battery charged for a electric fence shocker. I am wondering if its possible to run a inverter and the fence shocker off the same controller, and if so how would you wire that up? Would you just put the leads for the inverter in the same...
  • Post in thread: Inverter recomendation

    I assumed thats what you meant. Wouldn't the home monitors that clamp onto the service lines coming into the main panel provide a better big picture view?

  • Post in thread: Sigineer charge controller

    I was poking around looking for a different charge controller and stumbled across the sigineer mppt48120. It says on their site that it has two separate 60A MPPT trackers. First question is if anyone has experience with their charge controllers on their quality. Second if it has two separate...
  • Post in thread: two inverters to make 240

    OK. I have a 3000w inverter and was hoping if i used another one i could double it to 6000w on one 120v circuit
  • Post in thread: Single-Point Watering systems

    I was looking at possible getting a single point watering system with the trojan batteries im about to order. Does anyone on here have experience with them? Pros and Cons?
  • Post in thread: Hypothetical Bifacial setup

    Ok I have some bifacial panels and it got me thinking. Not factoring in the issues with instillation, would mounting bifacials perfectly vertical and facing east and west provide the best power generation?
  • Post in thread: Acceptable voltage in home.

    Not sure this is the best area for this question but here it goes. I have a fairly long run of wire (300ft round trip) to my inverter and the voltage from the grid is at 115v. Since the inverter is matching the grid voltage and then having to send that back to the house my drop is a tad bit...
  • Post in thread: Inverter recomendation

    240v. I have a controller so don't need one with a controller built in. Starting size is optional depending on what is out there. A stacking one would be best so I can slowly add on

    Thank you

    Thank you for the information!

    Wow. Bit more then I'm wanting to spend but nice!
  • Post in thread: Can you run 2 devices off 1 charge controller

    Apologies. Let me try to explain this better. I have a 30 watt panel that is currently running a DC powered fencer shocker. In the area of the panel I am wanting to add a security camera and would like to use the setup I already have. The camera is AC powered. So I'm wanting to know if you...
  • Post in thread: two inverters to make 240

    Yeah, wasn't any other option for that inverter
  • Post in thread: New IRS requirements for battery tax credit. False alarm, please ignore.

    Since this is a new addition to the tax code is a person able to claim just batteries if they already use the tax credit for their panels and inverter?

    Split, sorry
