[RE-wrenches] Smell from Radian

Re: [RE-wrenches] Smell from Radian

Drake These inverters are indoor rated so dust cans still get inside and if the humidity is high and there is dirt on the boards they omit an odor now I can not say I have ever smelled corn chips but anything is possible, now to get the important info, how hard was the charge, how long was the char

Thanks Dana, Normally I do a piered system for these, but I've got a project with a ground source heat pump loop at unknown depth under the array field. I'm trying to avoid a puncture. Thanks! On Wed, Dec 29, 2021 at 8:58 AM Dana Orzel wrote: > I have used Snapn’Rack’s system with grade beams

Another thought – Open up the Radian & do a really thorough compressed air blow out of the cabinet interior? Dana Orzel Great Solar Works, Inc. C - 208.721.7003 d...@solarwork.com Idaho Contractor - # 028765 Idaho PV # 02837

I prefer iron ridge as they have 2” and 3” pipe options which require a lot less bracing than the 1.5” pipe. And they have a 5 panel rail. Jay > On Dec 29, 2021, at 10:52 AM, Dana Orzel wrote: > >  > Or Pour a solid slab. > > > > Dana Orzel Great Solar Wor

Two that I've looked at but never used - I like the use of rock on the second one.  We quoted it for a job at one point and the price was quite reasonable. https://solarmounts.com/ballasted-ground-mount/ https://www.readyracksolar.com/ Hope that helps! Jeff Mac Lewis
