I'll never do business with them again. They have a true megalomaniac running the company that has zero customer service skills.

Well, that's an interesting first post....

Hello Jess, i appreciate your efforts but at this point, i'm not gonna beat a 2 year old pile of dead bones that was once a horse. Ther's a 1000+ post thread you can check out if you're bored and wanna see how your company dropped the ball with my multiple purchases. One of the three things a...

As someone who has spent thousands of dollars with both companies, i can tell you the difference in service after the sale is night and day. When i was having an issue with Signatures batteries, Dexter from CC reached out to me to help me solve their problem. That says something about a company...

I've had both good and bad experiences in the past with solar vendors. Any company can sling products out the door, but a true measure of their service is how they respond when things go wrong. In a similar fashion, Dexter and Current Connected EARNED 100% of my business long ago.

Plus a $50 off coupon right now. I can't believe how inexpensive these things have become. I wonder if you give anything up quality wise with this particular brand and other similar brands. I mean, i know that my Pioneers are a knock off but they have a proven track record with LOTS of units...

I think you will be very satisfied with your Schneider inverter. I have run mine for over 3 years now and couldn't be much happier. When you need something that just works and works, the Schneider xw series inverters are tough to beat.

Price lowered to $2000 each. Smoking deal for someone out there!

No offense taken at all... in fact i agree with you. One of their main problems is that they have so many people representing their company here. If they could find just one that actually did a good job and knew how to squash potential issues, it would be greatly beneficial to their company and...

Could it be that SS has about a dozen reps participating in this forum constantly touting their great customer service? In this thread alone, one of them saw a missed opportunity to make an 18k sale and they were real quick to jump in and offer "assistance". Their exposure here is beyond...

Glad to hear you got taken care of. You have been more than helpful around here, including helping me with my lifepower battery issues. Glad some good karma came your way bud! Hopefully it will provide years of trouble free service!

Not sure how it would work in a grid tie situation but i know the pre-charge only works when the batteries are first turned on. So if the op was turning on his batteries first then closing breakers, he couldn't take advantage of the pre-charge function built into the batteries. This was causing...

Close all breakers first then turn the batteries on to utilize the pre-charge function.

One workaround is to use your scc to help with charging the capacitors in the inverter. Turn of all loads that your inverter may power then use the scc to help. I know it's not recommended by most inverter manufacturers, but it was the only way i got my eg4 lifepower batteries to start my...

Yes. Midnite has charge controllers that allow you to go over the max voc. It's called hypervoc and it adds the voltage of the battery in addition to the max rating to allow for some wiggle room. Example- midnite classic 150 is rated at 150v max voc but when running it with a 48 battery, you...

True. We have a saying that's widely used in the framing trade... f*ck it, nail it. Definitely not to be applied in solar. I triple check stuff and ask questions when i don't know something about solar.

Max Voc is a hard limit. If you don't know that, you should find a new hobby. Or hire a qualified electrician.

LG makes some really nice inverter window units. That would be the route i would take simply because of the cost, energy use and ease of installation. I used their 14k btu unit to cool my entire house before i had the dual 12k pioneer units installed. I was amazed that one 14k window unit could...

I was going to buy raw cells from them but after i saw how they treated Ray, they will never get any of my business. Threatening your customers and saying you're going to show their arrest records is chickenshit at its finest. I'm sure he lost a lot of customers here when that all went down.

Arrest records? What arrest records? lol Yeah, agreed. Too big for their britches/boots as we say here in Texas. Unfortunately, they have touted their Texas based, multi-tiered tactical tech support team since the beginning and it just doesn't seem to improve as evidenced over and over here in...

Wholesale Solar. Heidi is awesome and she knows how to turn a problem into an opportunity. I hope she's still there but lots of people were jumping ship under the direction of the new ceo.

My preferred vendors are- Current Connected- can't go wrong with Dexter and his team. Top quality products and best service around. Northern Arizona wind and sun- lots of people here use them and little to no bad reviews. Free shipping on orders over $500. Watts 24/7- again, lots of satisfied...

If you value dependability, unmatched surge capabilities and a proven track record of 20+ years, there's only one choice. Schneider. My XW pro 6848 has given me zero issues in 3 years. Other good options are Solark and SMA.

So how does this info relate to tin plated copper bus bars? I always thought the tin coating was to prevent corrosion of the copper but the chart suggests it is a poor conductor so should it really be used?

Price drop to $50 each.

He knows his chit don't he! He probably typed that blindfolded with one hand. Kinda like Signature should hire timselectric since he knows more about their products than they do.* * Not an attempt to 'bash' anyone, just impressed with how much he knows about eg4 inverters, batteries etc.

@Hedges will know...

Like timselectric said, stacking is ok as long as it's done correctly. One thing to look for when stacking terminals is to ensure they are perfectly flat and 'mate' properly. Different size. shape and brand terminals can at times interfere with each other. Also, when stacking make sure the extra...

Knowing that you have the expertise and skill to set everything up properly with no weak links, i'd say you have the best chance to keep 'em going for a long time!

As C&K said, there is no other inverter with this kind of performance history when you are looking for something dependable. Mine has been in service for nearly 3 years without a glitch or issue. I expect to get at least 20 years out of it as many others have. They have an impressive history-...

With the right setup you can leave your garden for a week and maybe a bit longer. That makes gardening wayyy easier. Some of these hydro systems are beginner friendly and very low maintenance.

Killer! This is trully the future of indoor gardening and self sustinence. DWC is incredible. Have you done any aeroponic cloning? I've had incredible results with my cloner. What lights are you running? Thanks for sharing your setup- the satisfaction of growing off grid can't be beat!

I think i was asking a bit much so i have lowered the price to $60 each.

I thought you guys were updated the firmware before shipping these units out? Maybe the guy who posted the video got one before the updates?
