The cycle life sounds good the warranty cycle for off grid is far less than blue planet and fortress. If you compare the fortress x 2, 18.5's with a better warranty it comes out cheaper. I do see a display but l only see volts. Pretty low surge, is there US warranty administration? Good luck, On

Hi Yall! Anyone used HomeGrid batteries? We are just getting ready to pair them with some Outback and Sol Ark systems.. They have a compelling price, form and feature set. Hoping to hear of any issues before we jump in too deep with them.. 100 thanks for any thoughts! Cheers. Kirpal Oregon Solarwo

Its kinda fuzzy in my head now but about a year and a half ago we delivered a pallet of old PVs to some warehouse in Reno (Sparks) on Greg St.  It was supposed to be the beginning of recycling here on the west coast and was headed up by Sam Vanderhoof and a fellow named Lamar.  Hopefully this i

Do you have 5 60-cell or 5 72-cell modules in series? I recall that active tracking has to have 230V to start and then can go down to 195V. I’m reading from an old manual, though. The new manual is here: https://solar.se.com/us/en/product/conext-mppt-100-600-6kw-solar-pv-charge-controller/#dow

Schnieder MPPT 100/600 charge controllers have in their menu a place to change the “MPPT” voltage setting from 600VDC down to 195VDC. In doing so all it seems to do is disable the controller and displays the screens; operating , not charging. I was trying to use this setting as I have a small ar

Enphase worked out a lot of kinks with their battery storage. Commissioning time is cut way down. I've been liking it (other than the price). One of the biggest problems I would say is the clunkiness of the conduit connections, especially to the Encharge 10T which only has conduit entry on the lef

I have several Enphase system customers looking to add battery storage.   The Enphase system, which I got certified in, comes across to me as fairly complicated with several historical installation issues. The Outback Mojave looks pretty simple, and we have installed quite a few Radian, GVFX, e
