Re: [RE-wrenches] generator support mode

Hi Lee, The MC version is similar to the standard SW, but does not have grid usage menu (no sell/lbx), and does not give AC1 priority (assuming both inputs are present). It will support the generator with battery power whenever the load exceeds the AC2 Amps setting in Menu 11. Eric

[RE-wrenches] banks/lenders for solar

I'm looking for recommendation of banks or lenders who are favorable to work with when loaning on solar projects (large or small) so that I can direct my customers. Any good? Or bad? Thanks. Eric R. Andrews NABCEP Certified PV Installer Klamath Falls, OR

Re: [RE-wrenches] PV and home value

A local real estate appraiser should have that info... ask if they have any "matched paired analysis" data between similar houses with and without solar. If an appraiser is not available, a seasoned realtor will be able to give you a good idea. Eric R. Andrews NABCEP Certified PV
