    First Solar Power System Build for Cabin

    I keep seeing this 10KW hybrid inverter from Sun Gold Power show up in my searches. Is this something I should avoid? It keeps popping up in my searches and I'm trying to figure out if I should even pay attention to it. Better yet, I'll look around on this site for a hardware review section...

    First Solar Power System Build for Cabin

    Thanks again for all the info. I found an electric bill for the cabin. In July it used 598 kwh of electricity. That was with a dehumidifier running 24/7 as well. Google says that an average dehumidifier uses about 300-700 watts of power. So 7.2 - 16.8 kwh per day since it was running 24/7...

    First Solar Power System Build for Cabin

    Hello, first post here so I hope I'm not being too redundant with other threads. Please point me to a similar post if it's already out there. I have a 1000sq ft cabin that I am designing a solar power system for. I was just hoping for some feedback and possibly some recommendations on...
