John,             If you can make up the cables in your shop, I've been putting one of the handles of the BA hand crimper in the vice. You can then put your all on the 'free' handle, much better for 4/0 magnalugs.  Out in the field it is a grunt for sure.  Sorry no idea about electric. Bill

Chad, what ballpark price for the Dewalt crimped. Does it handle 4/0 heavy duty lugs. I’m getting too old for my hand crumper. John Blittersdorf On Sun, Feb 21, 2021 at 7:05 PM Chad Waits wrote: > We bought the DeWalt version not too long ago. Makes great crimps and much > easier to work wit

We do it from time to time. Just run the numbers. Many clients demand 100% offset and don't care about efficiency. Resources: https://floridasolardesigngroup.com/solar-electricity-output-based-on-tilt-and-orientation/ https://floridasolardesigngroup.com/can-i-put-solar-panels-on-my-north-roof-in

We bought the DeWalt version not too long ago. Makes great crimps and much easier to work with in tight spaces if you have too. Well worth the money... Chad Waits President-Net Zero Solar Cell: (520) 270-4873 On Sun, Feb 21, 2021 at 2:40 PM Chris Sparadeo wrote: > Hi all, > > I’m wondering i

Hi all, I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations for an electric crimper tool for battery lugs? I see that they can get expensive quickly, but a tool that cuts down on the struggle is a tool worth considering. Thanks in advance! -Chris -- Chris Sparadeo C_802-369-4458 H_802-728-3059 __

Often can’t pick one’s roof so I’m not completely turned off to it any longer. With some clients, peak use in the summer (perhaps nat gas for winter) turns out that the north roof provides overall better offset of actual electric costs. Obviously, the lower the roof slope the better. Scot

All, Apparently this is not necessarily a bad idea anymore (from what I recall some pv gurus saying a few years back), relevant to latitude and pitch of the roof. I have a client in Florida it might work for, and there in no room left on the ground or other roofs. Anyone have a resource or rule
