    Signature Solar

    Just an outsider’s observation. I doubt it’s possible to get all 3 of these features at once: fast, low price, high level of support - (quick, cheap, easy) 2 out of 3 is doing well, one out of 3 is normal.

    Another great site I stumbled across -- EASYPOWERWALL on YouTube

    Hi Franky, Very cool. Doing this in Belgium must be fairly challenging. Thanks for the great website and info. I saw the Rolling Stones in Belgium in 1973, Foret Nationale!! Best concert ever. Aloha john

    14.4 KW solar, 40.96 kWh backup, 2 solark 15k inverters, off grid family home, doable or delusional?

    Hi Millpondhouse, Congratulations. You can definitely do this. Check out Engineer775 on youtube and see if he'll help you. You will get dozens of different, sometimes conflicting, opinions as you research this. If you're interested in importing various components direct from China, send me a...

    BAD BAD NEWS Signature Solar EG4 Plug N Cool Solar Hybrid ...Customer Punished for Factory Mistake

    Well mine must be atypical too. In over 50 transactions with Chinese sellers and suppliers I would choose them hands down over any US supplier, except maybe Costco and sometimes Amazon. Broad slurs like this are not helpful, regardless of your feelings.

    Want to purchase Solar Panels from China and import to USA...

    I suggest you try to find a friend or business with a warehouse and loading facilities or a large enough place with easy large truck access. You had the batteries delivered to your place, DDP. Have the panels delivered to this warehouse or large place, DDP. Then deal with getting them from...

    Research ideas for 1 MW power station using propane generators and solar.

    You have the resources to do this. Obviously it won’t be DIY or under the radar, but that doesn’t mean you have to get ripped off either. Kauai and doubtless a number of other places have various large solar with battery power stations. You can check the builders of the plants on Kauai by...

    DIY 48v 280ah Build - Blowout/Fail

    With all respect to those who have far more experience than I, I am not a fan of "tight clamping". My understanding is that cells expand when being charged. This is a physical manifestation of a chemical event. This expansion "could" be contained if the entire cell casing was constructed like...

    Xuba Electronics: DEAL - 280AH LiFePo4 cells. Purchase & Review

    Yeah, IMNHO, Amy is the best hands down. Not always the cheapest, or the fastest, but always the best. I won't even think of buying cells from anyone else.

    Is it legal to use Voltacon and other 'non-export' inverters in the U.K.?

    Frequently you can get away with doing a lot as long as you are discreet about it - whether it is technically legal or illegal. Insurance companies want your money but don't want to pay out. So be aware of the risks if you do something they will try to deem "illegal" and you file a claim...
