[AFMUG] Gateway Router Recommendation

2021-07-01 Thread Jason McKemie
I'm looking to update my gateway router (currently a CCR1036) to something that can support 2 10GE WAN connections running BGP. I'd probably want at least 3 or 4 SFP+ ports. The CCR1072 comes to mind, but I've read horror stories relating to this model, so I'm looking at other options. Those of

[AFMUG] Hybrid AC/Solar charge controller?

2021-07-01 Thread Bill Prince
We are looking for a hybrid AC/Solar charge controller. We have a few sites that are primarily powered by the grid on AC using  a DC UPS to keep up a 48VDC plant. Most of the equipment runs directly on the 48VDC, with a few legacy devices running on 24VDC. We want to augment the AC power with

The trick with 1072 is you need to disable connection tracking. Ours have been 100% stable ever since doing that. That means no NAT and only basic firewall rules (src/dst/ip/port). Just do your NAT and firewall stuff on other boxes. From: AF On Behalf Of Jason McKemie Sent: Thursday

Outback power makes inverter/charger combo units. You could add any solar controller to the mix. There are islanding inverters that are an all in one unit. I don't know anything about this product but it came up when I searched for islanding grid tie inverter: https://www.pika-energy.com/islan

An inverter is opposite of what we are looking for. We are just looking for a solar charge controller that has a secondary power source; in this case AC. We do not need AC power at all. My first thought is a combo wind/solar charge controller, and just feed rectified AC into the wind input at

I'm not sure about the exact models which are being recommended, but at least a few of these inverters are designed such that you tie your solar into them, and your batteries into them, and they will manage the solar+AC consumption in a way to minimize the AC consumption.You'd have to look at e
