I met yesterday with my well driller about a new house we're building.Very experienced, well-regarded guy in our area. When I told him...

Same here, not enough PV to wake up the Midnite classic 150 with 2190w of panels

I have had a bad December and January for solar out put that is why I keep my battery's at 90% and use the grid. That way when the grid...

Midnite classic 200. it's fine... I get some production on some days, like 10-80watts, but that's typical and not even remotely usable...

I'm going to resurrect this old thread, because I see people reacting to it from searches. This year, it's even worse. I had ZERO...

grundfos are DC rated, most are 30-300v. so, unfortunately, with a 24v system, you're not going to be able to support DC direct on...

I thought my setup with a photo diary might help others. I passed my Electrical Final inspection yesterday, now I'm just waiting for...

I'm excited that yesterday I got 460w per panel out of their rated 455w 😀

everyone can cry me a river, haha. In michigan, we have seen the sun 3 days since November. literally. zero production. if off-grid...

grundfos is the standard for DC/solar/off-grid well pumps. expensive, but worth it.

I built a pergola a while back to hold 12 panels. I did concrete my 4x4's into the ground tho about 3 ft. I went out there during a...

i changed the pitch to be 5 degrees and made the rear angle braces longer. i could extend the main length 2x6 lumber to stick out to add...

If you don't need to be able to pull all the way through, just put them on the 'back' side only, above the hood of the car. plenty of...

sweet, okay... that makes a ton of sense. thank you @Mattb4

When running multiple not coordinated charge controllers to one battery bank off of separate PV arrays I like to set charge limits...

in my DIY 24v system I have a Growatt 3000 24v that I am not utilizing the SCC on. I have my 2kw roof array charging the battery bank...

great idea, love the concept! do some wind load calcs. if it's truly black-top pavement, you could easily put some grounding rods down...

I would like to see videos on DIY solutions for those of us in the upper-midwest. I know you're not in the area, but many of the DIY...

I have often thought about wind to supplement my solar - especially since we have peak wind during worst solar time of year (winter)...

One can have as many independent charging sources running concurrently as they like provided they are programmed properly for the...
