    The Worst Kind Of Solar Buyer! HELP!

    Oh I know what they are and how much they cost. Look at the rest of my system I buy decent gear but I got taken on the first inverter I bought used from a "solar expert" so all I had was wish money in the budget. I figure for $175 it's disposable. I'll use it until it either doesn't meet my...

    The Worst Kind Of Solar Buyer! HELP!

For the price I figured I'll give it a shot. I wasn't sure if I was even going to get my system up and going without detonating it(I'm...

    So I can keep it wired parallel? I hope so because if I have to rewire them is going to be a nightmare and at least 40 hours of work to get them rewired and then the skirting system re riveted.

    The Worst Kind Of Solar Buyer! HELP!
