I actually saw one of those once, they did a presentation. Seemed like a
good idea, but they never had a good answer on charge controllers and
other equipment. The E meter can work at higher voltages. I used them
with 144 vdc battery banks before.

Wrenches,
I have an upcoming remote residential off grid upgrade job that uses
one of the rare Michigan Energy Works inverter/charger/controller
packages, this one from 1997, which the homeowner wants to continue
using. The package uses a 120 volt nominal array (10 x BP90 in series)
and a 144V nominal battery bank. I'm adding array (6 x 60-cell
generic), replacing batteries (FLA with VRLA), and updating
disconnects and overcurrent protection. Can anyone suggest a
user-friendly system monitor that will work with this system voltage,
something akin to a TriMetric 2020 or 2030? I can't think of one that
will work with a system voltage this high. Mostly I'd like the
percentage function for a nontechnical homeowner.
Thank you, Allan
