    Can you recommend a DTC?

    Several years ago, I converted off of my oil fired hydronic system. In doing so I had a bunch of leftover parts (hydronic coils, indirect water heater, etc.) I kept all of it hoping to do a solar thermal setup somewhere down the line and I finally picked up some cheap new/old stock flat plates...

    Connector Type of SMA Sunny Island

    I purchased a set of used Sunny Islands to compliment my existing ones. The AC1 and AC2 connectors are different than the screw type of my current ones. Does anyone know how to release the wires from these? The previous owner cut the wires instead of pulling them out proper. They seem like...

Upgrade to 3rd shelf can be added but does not come with this. Prefer local pickup and can leave it assembled if...

    Parallel String vs Parallel Cell

    Hi, I'm new to batteries and battery building and trying to read up and learn as much as I can so I can build my own LifePo4. One of the things I came across as a big no-no seems to be a parallel string configuration. But I'm trying to understand the difference between a parallel cell...

    48v DC Generator to 48v Battery Bank

    My familiarity is with AC generators as DC generators seem pretty rare to start with, but I just found some surplus ones that put out 48v DC. It just happens to match my battery bank perfectly; which is feeding the house via SMA Sunny Islands. Before I jump on the purchase, I just wanted to...

    AC Coupling Design

    A picture is worth 1000 words... Would it work? I should note that I already have the Sunny Islands, just trying to figure out if I can make it work with the existing system.
