Hi Mac,
I do like the Concorde SunXtender AGM batteries, first one I bought in 2002 is
still ticking, it sits in the yard built into a rolling tool case with a
ProStar-15 on a 20 watt module and an Exeltech 250 w inverter, charging my gen

I’ve seen half of a 200A DP main CB fail intermittently, causing some circuits
to go down then come back on at various times. Then on one service call out to
diagnose this strange set of partial blackouts, I heard an internal click while
standing next to it, after checking every wire in every pa
I want to 2nd David’s recommendation for Fullriver. 6 years and many pallet
loads sold, only one failure covered by warranty. 7 year warranty when used in
RE systems. Best AGM battery we have ever sold.

Hi Mac;
That system sounds like a couple of systems I looked at last year. SW
inverters and the batteries back in a crawl space with (surprise) no
watering. We ended up decommissioning one of those, as the new owner
was no longer interested in solar backup. The crawl space definitely

Hey Mac, Bergey Excel (10kw) and the Jacobs 3120 (20kw) are the only two
decent machines I can recommend. They are both not without their minor
issues, but all around, they work great as long as preventative maintenance
is done.

I have had to replace two in six years. Pretty simpleto do. Takes about
30 to 45 minutes depending upon your level of arthritis. Chris

Hi Wrenches,
I am looking into largish (for me) wind turbines in the 10-20 kW size. As
of now Bergey seems to standout. Any other manufacturers that I should
take a close look at in this size turbine?
Thanks

Strange one. I would be surprised if the PV system has anything to do with
this. We’ve experienced strange electrical intermittent problems and they
have almost always been related to grounding or neutral problems. I realize
that two different electricians have checked out the site, but maybe they

I have had several similar successes with the Full River L-16 style AGM

batteries to a bank.

Friends of mine got a Sunpower system installed last year. Ever since
then they have had intermittent problems with circuits in their house
going dead.
The array is 14 each Sunpower SPR E20 327 C AC. The array is mounted on

Dave,
I've replaced a bunch of these - relatively easy (easier than the boards).
If pulling it from the wall is a bigger job than you'd like, the internal
fan can be replaced in the vertical position. Just make sure to not pinch
the internal com cables as you replace the cover.
Good luck!

That is an Outback stock item called FX/GS fan kit I believe. Cost about 2$20
with additional SS replacement screws included for either inverter.
I just changed one on an early model FX2524. Pretty simple change. They

I have an OutBack FX inverter (manufactured in 2011) with a flashing Red

Before I call OutBack support I'd like to gain a little knowledge from you

Mac; I think I'd be looking at high-end rack-mount AGMs, like Deka, HUP,
and Outback. The low temperature issue is pushing the limit for Li-ion and
Li-Fe.
