Re: [RE-wrenches] mini splits

HI Dave Interesting that you bring that up, as far as I can tell, Energy Star rated DIY units are only up to about 24kBTU, I don’t know why. Another piece of data I can’t find is actual efficiency curves. Which would be based on outside and inside temps. I wonder if anyone has info as to

I think the bottom line for me is super low startup surge and then fairly consistent power draw once desired temperature is reached. I feel this is much easier to plan for off-grid rather than repeated start/stop cycles. Jason Szumlanski And extremely quiet which is a main reason to be offgri

Re: [RE-wrenches] Outback Optics RE is down again

I have been wondering about that loss of ratings after they were sold. OB has been sold a few times and I don’t remember this happening? Or Trace to Xantrex to schneider. I wonder if the new owners moved production to china from was it India or somewhere else in SE Asia? I would think that

Re: [RE-wrenches] mini splits

It would depend on the size of the split 😉 It would also depend on the SEER rating and the climate you are in. I try to only use the best model in the brand for Offgrid. It cost more for a reason and can run longer into the evening before using the battery. The smaller 33 SEER units work well a

Re: [RE-wrenches] mini splits

Most off-grid homes here in Southwest Florida, one of the most challenging air conditioning places in the country due to heat and humidity, have moved to mini-splits. I have a client's system with quad Sol-Ark 15K that is running eight separate mini-splits and a 4-ton central air unit at a sprawlin

Re: [RE-wrenches] Outback Optics RE is down again

Same here. I had to defeat my security to access the site. This is worrisome since some of our sites are fly-in or boat access only. In addition, all Outback products lost their CSA listing when they were bought. So we cannot install any of their products - if we could get them - under a permit. We
