Walt:

Fascinating collection of photographs. Your projects are ambitious and far flung.

I brought over a hardware item from the broadcast industry: Lacing strips: http://www.middleatlantic.com/rackac/cablem/cablem.htm#lbars

I have a few photos on our web site of the implementation: http://millersolar.com/practices/Technical_Procedures/SW_Upgrade/SW_Upgrade.html

Thanks for sharing the photos.

Hello Kirpal,

Walt Ratterman here.  I can respond to at least the first part.

In Burundi, we used three 5 KW Sunny Island 5048’s in a three phase configuration.

For all of the DC and AC breakers, wireways, etc., etc., we used the Outback Flexware equipment.

We put the DC on the bottom and the AC on the top. Due to the width of the SI’s, we used 2 – FW1000 systems to do this. (And I am glad – we actually needed all of the wiring space. I think it would work really well for your system.

Of course, there may be some other good choices that I would be anxious to learn about as well.

You can see some good photos of this installation at our photo gallery – linked form our Home Page at <http://www.sunepi.org>www.sunepi.org. Click on the cover for the photos for the Burundi / Kigutu / Village Health Works / SELF project.

Feel free to holler if you need any specifics on how we did anything here.

OH – on your other question…I have no experience on large sealed banks, but Rolls now has AGM’s that start at T-105 size, include the 8G8D sizes, and then go all the way up to 2V 3300 Ah.

Thanks!!

Walt
