Jay. Check out Gigasolarpv.com They make a composite material with crystaline cells. They get 156 watt from a 36 cell module. On Mon, Aug 20, 2018 at 6:07 PM Jay wrote: > Hi All > > What are good options for a portable module for RV use. > One that you can move around, (it’s going to fall over)

[RE-wrenches] Non breakable RV modules

2018-08-20 Thread Jay
Hi All What are good options for a portable module for RV use. One that you can move around, (it’s going to fall over)and connect with a cable to an camper. The old unisolar ones were perfect. Any recommendations are appreciated Size? 50-100 watts, 12v nominal. Thx Jay. ___

Jay, The batteries are Blue Ion 2.0 from Blue Planet Energy, the 8kWh cabinet. The listed Maximum Continuous Charge and Maximum Discharge Rate is 1C. I have been able to get Midnite's Wizbang to reflect correctly for about 5 months (on a different system) but it has also started to wonder and sin

Of course, the heat rejection rate with a thinner atmosphere is reduced. The electrical capacity is then reduced. At higher altitudes, Outback recommended reduced input. IN your case it would mean smaller modules on the microinverter. On Mon, Aug 20, 2018 at 1:38 PM wrote: > Hi Folks: > > > >

Higher altitude equals lower air density equals lower capacity for heat transfer to atmosphere equals more heat build up inside equipment. On 8/20/2018 10:18 AM, ch...@oasismontana.com wrote: Hi Folks: What is the deal with altitude restrictions on charge controllers and other solid state c

Chris, It's the components that are in the device (usually capacitors) that can fail. The failures are usually due to colder temperatures at these higher elevations.

Hi Folks: What is the deal with altitude restrictions on charge controllers and other solid state circuitry? We have a high altitude customer with some concerns. For example, Enphase wants their goods installed at under 2000 meters…. Best, Chris Daum Oasis Montana Inc. 406-777-4309 or 432
