    Z-brackets Recommendations for Large Solar Panel Install

    I plan to use unistrut and lift the strut every few studs, at least a few inches. either buy "feet" from unistrut or just get some1 by 2 aluminum tubing, cut it a few inches long, and and drill a hole to do the lifting. BTW, where did you find the fitting to use with the unistrut?

    Feedback on my DIY bifacial panel unistrut ground mount design?

    Can you please tell me the vendor where you bought the unistrut solar panel clamps?" No one seems to know anything and I can't find them (except in a Unistrut pdf.) .thanks

    Is it possible to protect your Solar System against EMP?

    Does anyone know of a lithium battery that has a separate BMS that can be removed. I was thinking about putting a second/back-up BMS In faraday cages, and use it after the EMP destroys the unprotected BMS —so I can use batteries now.

    Those of you far smarter talk than me discuss complicated ways to protect your (operating) chargers and inverters, but I am going to put my components with circuitry in faraday cages, as my interest is solar is prep for Armageddon. As I understand, panels should survive an EMP and many...

    OEM Voltronic and it's subsidiaries like MPP Solar

    I keep hearing the term “cheap Chinese “ inverters and controllers, so I want to avoid that. And my budget would be strained with Victron. So MPP is a good price point on say 6548, but can I have a few people tell me if that unit and MPP in general are “not cheap” and good quality and not...

    OEM Voltronic and it's subsidiaries like MPP Solar

    I also saw cheaper MPP if you ordered from Taiwan, but when things go wrong, who ya gonna call? And if you return, what would be your shipping costs. I may very well buy MPP, but from a vendor who I think will be service oriented

    Truck camper 24V system MPP 2424LV-MSD with alternator charging

    I am apprehensive about buying anything MPP for a few reasons. First was I sent an email with a few technical questions to MPP and the response did not address my questions and seems like from someone with poor English skills. So I have doubts about any post-sale tech help FROM MPP ITSELF...
