    More panels on the way

    Hit up any active state/gov auctions and get a used oscilloscope from a college. I know when I was in engineering school labs would just toss perfectly good equipment if they got a new grant

    Chiko USA Carport/Pergola

    All, Just curious but I am looking at the Chiko USA Steel Carport/Pergola and I was curious if anyone had purchased one and what their thoughts were on it. Their 4 car size is perfect for a pergola on the backside of my house and seems to be a great fit if I can seal up the solar panels well...

    Solar VFD with two pumps

    Can you update firmware on the VFD? Also it's a good idea on VFD's to put in a sine wave filter to keep it clean on input power.

    Ive had solar for a year and now the utility company charges a demand fee... not cool.

    Another thought is looking to upgrade the heat pump to a true cold weather rated heat pump like a Gree Multipro or Mitsubishi hyper heat. I have a Gree Flexx at my house and it has never kicked on aux heat even in -9F ambient weather with -15 to -20 wind chill.

    Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

    Very interested to see forum feedback from testers. I'm currently nailing down a "grid-assist" off-grid DIY setup now and grid feedback is something I want to avoid with a 20' pole.

    Minor Backfeed Issue with Utility

    Simple fix.. use a chargeverter to kick on when battery soc hits a certain percentage and disconnect all utility from the inverter itself.

    14.4 KW solar, 40.96 kWh backup, 2 solark 15k inverters, off grid family home, doable or delusional?

    I sell Grundfos. They also make solar powered well pumps: https://product-selection.grundfos.com/us/products/sqflex?tab=explore But I sell to heavy industrial/chemical users so no I cannot sell directly to you. Easy enough to find online though.

    Need a 10U or 12U rack for Signature Solar batteries

    Never take no for an answer. I'd simply just try to purchase without batteries and see what happens or get in contact with ruixu. To be fair I didn't see the note in red either.

    Still grid tie and if not properly setup could accidentally backfeed. You will need an interconnect permit which = grid tie even if you don't pull from the grid.

    Could use a little advice

    Bannsco that's probably the best route to go. With wiring 2 200amp panels, sub-panels integrating conduit boxes etc.. that's a decent price.
