    Sig Solar shipping

    Can anyone from Signature Solar tell me the nearest place to Douglas, WY they can ship to? Or even Lusk, WY. I'm about 1/2 way in between. I could even go to Casper if I had to. I was going to order a couple EG4 48v batteries.

    wondering if something's wrong with my EG4 batteries

    I have (4) EG4 48v batteries running a VFX3648 (Outback) Inverter. I don't have a charge controller yet, so I'm running off the batteries only. I had only 2 batteries for about 2 weeks and then I recently added 2 more. Before I added the two new ones, I used a 48v charger to charge each one up...

    Outback VFX3648 inverter output ac breaker

    Hey, I just dug out my Outback VFX3648 which has been sitting in the box for 10 years and I realized I need about a 90A ac breaker to the breaker box and the manual says not to use a double pole breaker to power both sides of the breaker box with the same 120VAC. Would it be in bad taste to use...

    idle consumption - does it matter if loads are running all night?

    I was considering either the MPP or Growatt all-in-one inverter over the 48v Midnite Classic Lite I have (but haven't installed yet) and read that the MPP and Growatt have a high idle consumption whereas some nicer ones, like Xantrax have a low idle consumption but can cost 3x to 5x more. I'm...
