    IntegraRack: Ground Mount with Epoxy Ground Stakes and Ballast Options

    Says adjustable angle. Is that only when you install it? I did not see how to adjust once fully installed. Love it.

    IntegraRack: Ground Mount with Epoxy Ground Stakes and Ballast Options

    Then it would be perfect for my place. My poor neighbors! If you don't want the pics public, would you consider emailing them to me? I have 30 panels to get mounted and need a way to do it without breaking the bank. Please.

    where to buy mini split, besides amazon&ebay

    I can't imagine a tech being happy to only do the vacuum when they can make much more money selling the equipment and then installing. Will definitely look at it though. I need 9k in the workout room. Goal is to also put a dual head unit in the kitchen / dining area. That will be later...

    Thanks for the write-up!!! The Senville lists professional install required. Are you DIY? Miss the Boondocks IA along I35!

    Low cost SCC suggestions?

    I am in Indiana. Thanks! I know the panels can't go together. I have 3 of the 100W and lots of the 250W. 1 should be enough for the light use of the fencer. I can always add another if necessary. (the 100W are part of my "grab the portable stuff and get to family" pack) I will look at...

    24K mini split in barn....

    I am imaging putting one in our barn. About the same size. Might help. I understand wanting to keep it more bearable. Between that requirement and the foam insulation, all I can say is "Try it." Always add another unit. Bearable to me is different than to others. My day job I want the...

    Solar lights recommendations

    I have spare panels. Rest is minor cost - so what string of lights would you recommend? Then I just need a motion sensor to put inside.
