Re: [RE-wrenches] Mates Losing time & dates

Jay, Funny you should mention this. A customer just called today to say that his Mate has been failing to shut down his generator and they have been walking into a smelly room full of boiling batteries each time. Is this what you are referring to when the AGS's are going bad? I recently replac

Re: [RE-wrenches] Mates Losing time & dates

Mark, Any chance that the relay controlling the generator is in a FlexNet DC? I've had a least one customer's generator not shut down and was pretty sure that it was the latching relay in the FlexNet DC that was the culprit. Kent Osterberg Blue Mountain Solar Mark Dickson wrote: Jay, Fun

Todd, Just wondering, is there a problem with the US Plastics products? As I said previously, we've used them for more than 15 years with no problems. Typically we use the more expensive, acid rated ones but they make many that will do the job. Daryl > > > > > > > Sure we can all get

Hi Carl, Actual PPA contracts are rather complex instruments. To start with, the PPA is actually a contract between the PPA Provider/System Owner (think of this as the "bank") and the Host Customer. These are the parties that will have the enduring relationship because, under a PPA, the Host Cust
