Leoch is offering a 2048Wh (LiFePO4) Capacity, 2000W AC Output Generator through Indiegogo at a Super Early Bird Special Price of $1,059 USD (Special Price wouldn't last much longer). I'm not particularly recommending it, but thought some of You would find it interesting and may like it. I...
Some solar panels experience accelerated degradation rates due to cheap backsheets sourced by solar panel manufacturers. Looks, like this is a problem primarily with older solar panels (2010-2012). But could involve some newer panels too. Here's an article about it...
So, I purchased an inexpensive 12V 100Ah AGM Deep Cycle Battery. I checked the voltage of the new never been used battery and it's at 9.42 volts. I figure the battery would be at operating voltage when shipped. Is the low voltage normal for a brand new AGM battery that has never been...
So, I’m thinking of setting up a system to supply power to a window A/C Unit (500-700 watts) from 3-8pm during the summer months here in Phoenix. Since most of that time there will be sunlight and solar panels are cheaper than batteries, I’m thinking of getting enough solar panels so I can run...
So, I had a 12 volt AGM battery shipped to me. I noticed slight corrosion on the posts. Should this be of concern? For those of You that acquired a new AGM battery have you ever run into this? I'm enclosing a picture. Thanks for any comments You may have.
I heard, a while back, that You want to be close to a 2 to 1 ratio when determining the amount of volts going into the MPPT controller and the amount of volts going out to the battery from the controller to be most efficient. So as an example for a 12 volt system, You would want 28 volts going...
