  • Post in thread: WTH is this new Cali BS? Income Based Rate Increase??? I don't understand.... someone look at this PLZ

    How about the NL government themselves; you know the NL which is trying to take the farmers land for the environment cult and sparked political upheaval. Is a government source good enough...
  • Post in thread: What's the reason behind using 240V inverters with transformers when they have split phase ones?

    Are you in the US and if so did you split it with a transformer; if yes did you use a isolation transformer? Did you get it permitted; I don't plan on being off grid nor sell power back but would like grid assist or sbu mode. However I'm wondering about home insurance for a setup like this. I'm...

    So a progressive cost, a punishment for using what you need or want? When did this country start thinking so dam communist?

  • Post in thread: Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

    To the right of the meter is a box with a rubber cover ..I pulled it back and it looks like a breaker. I assume this is the 200A main breaker. To the right of the box in the middle is a (Eaton) transfer switch which from my observations has inputs from the grid side and generator then it's...
  • Post in thread: What's the reason behind using 240V inverters with transformers when they have split phase ones?

    Just curious, do we have a section here or elsewhere with the failure rate of tier 2 inverters AIO or module based? I'd like to see how mpp stands up agains growatt or eg4 etc.
  • Post in thread: Has anybody used the Rosie inverter yet for prime time?

    Most well pumps in my area are 400-500 ft.
  • Post in thread: Adding Schneider XW Pro

    I'm new to this solar stuff..just been here a few days. I've stated this before..I'm shocked that companies sell you a product then nickle and dim you for stuff to make it work. Schneider seems to be one of the worst. I see your post about this configuration tool I've heard others talking about...
  • Post in thread: All in one vs separate components for critical loads?

    After starting this thread I've been debating some things. I'm convinced that my assumption about modular components was correct, also convinced about using higher tier 1 products for the main system. But, to get things going for powering just the fridges, deep freezers and charge some phones...
  • Post in thread: Signature Solar EG4 6.5K Off-Grid Inverter | 6500EX-48

    Good to hear..it seems ss is one of a very few that has momentum right now.
  • Post in thread: Solar assistant: do you use it?

    I wish SA supported Schneider and Outback but according to the email I got back they never will. I really wanted to use it to monitor a future system on those two inverters.
  • Post in thread: WTH is this new Cali BS? Income Based Rate Increase??? I don't understand.... someone look at this PLZ

    You're right about it being a capitalist market or was...and guess what I don't need the government encouraging me to do anything via punishment that is exactly what communism is. If I want to run the heater in the summer time and can pay for it then the gov can stuff it. Just charge everybody a...
  • Post in thread: Signature Solar Customer Service

    Was the first one the broken solar panel? I understand SS and where they are coming from, the carrier doesn't want to pay out the claims. I also understand the end user...I bought a product from you and I expect it to arrive in good shape. I also don't agree you should be required to buy more...
  • Post in thread: Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

    I still want a answer why the USA made rosie only has a five year warranty but the china built one has 10? Also want to see it starting some serious surge loads like they demonstrated with rosie. Well pumps are a big one for us in the country.
  • Post in thread: SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

    Depends, what is SRNE reputation for reliability, customer service and warranty? If you're relying on it to keep the lights on and the meat in the deep freezer good do you really want the cheapest option? I've never looked into SRNE so I don't know their history, if they can provide a comparable...

  • Post in thread: Toroidal mpp / eg4 inverters

    Are those toroidal's on the right side?
  • Post in thread: Has anybody used the Rosie inverter yet for prime time?

    Good question....another decade maybe. lol

  • Post in thread: Signature Solar Two Hours On Hold Just To Buy an Item!

    While I do stand by my opinion of SS I did not intend to accuse you but rather state how it was potentially sounding to me. I can come off too salty at times. I apologize!
  • Post in thread: Combiner box

    It got to about 108F this summer here in Texas outside...so yea I'd have to AC wherever they are. I'd really like to get a old shipping container and spray foam it inside then put a small split in it. I'm think of putting a damper in the container or shed wall and pipe that back to the house so...
  • Post in thread: Toroidal mpp / eg4 inverters

    I'd have to look but even the non transformer ones run like 60/70 watts.
  • Post in thread: Now Trump wants to defund the FBI and Justice Dept

    Don't forget we brought over a lot of nazis after ww2 to work on the governments rocket program. https://www.amazon.com/1984-Signet-Classics-George-Orwell/dp/0451524934 They just took my Jack from me..what's next my cigars.
  • Post in thread: Grid Assist for hard to start AC load, then switch to Battery/PV inverter output?

    I think what I meant to say was it pulls from the grid to make up for any deficits.
  • Post in thread: Is the midnight ms3548diy the same as the powmr POW-LVM3.5K-48V?

    I'm thinking of getting my panels from santan...they seem to have some good deals.
  • Post in thread: High voltage DC inverters?

    Here's the video where the gentlemen designs his own bms to identify individual cells via a led light, it also controls a relay or something in the power panel to cut off power if there's a issue. I'd like to learn more about that.
  • Post in thread: Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

    I'm only aware of Sandi and Aims for us DIY folks. The others like what outback and schneider have on the market are only AC coupled so they do not work without the grid. They're are a few guys running the sandi inverters, they are low frequency and built like a tank and are industrial quality...
  • Post in thread: Signature solar horrible customer service

    Thank you! I can't believe how expenisve shipping has become.
  • Post in thread: SunGold Power SP6548 Flickering lights after new install

    This is common but the people that point this failure out about solark especially folks like David Poz get attacked by the solark fan boys. Solark is a good inverter as it's made by deye which makes good inverters but it has a problem with shutting down when getting a imbalance. I believe it's...
