Re: [AFMUG] Vendor for super high efficiency (Sunpower, etc) PV panels

I care about efficiency because in some cases space is at a premium. If these were going on the roof of a warehouse/office type building I would agree. But in a place where it is 4x4 access only, and only in summer, there is a scenario where a big ground mount tilted at 80 degrees for off grid

GA is for squares. For over 5 years I've seen faster feature releases AND bug fixes on beta. This is commonly the case on any modern software release. I guess that's fine if you're okay waiting 6 months to a year for feature releases, but anymore most IT moves faster than that and it will cost

Re: [AFMUG] Vendor for super high efficiency (Sunpower, etc) PV panels

Totally agree with Chuck on this line of thought. Where we are (NW ColoRADo) there is no amount of panels + batts you can install for Dec & Jan. Propane generator is the only way to keep an off grid site running. YMMV -Sean On Tue, Jun 20, 2017 at 5:17 PM Chuck McCown

You can still net meter provided the power meter on your home does not have the ability to detect power being fed into the grid. It may not be legal, but it is easy to do. From: Lewis Bergman Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2017 7:27 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Vendor for super high

Remote start propane generator is a much better value for sites like this. In the middle of winter have a low voltage relay trigger the generator. Run it just long enough to top the batts. Usually an hour a day is more than enough. Store enough propane to get through the worst of it.

I would put a single UAP-AC-HD with MU-MIMO or a UAP-AC-HD up against that for coverage and performance any day of the week. That said, a single AP is normally a poor design choice for a larger home. I'm using between 4-6 APs at my hose at any one time depending on what I'm messing with at the

Re: [AFMUG] Vendor for super high efficiency (Sunpower, etc) PV panels

I guess I should elaborate a bit. In our area, the meters know when a grid tie system has been installed and if you are not approved for net metering it adds all the power you feed into the grid as usage to you driving up your power bill. The old meters don’t do that, they just spin

Re: [AFMUG] Vendor for super high efficiency (Sunpower, etc) PV panels

So, it looks like the only option for net metering in Texas is SolarCity. Without retail net metering, things get more expensive. Without batteries you effectively can only offset your live load.. excess is effectively given to the utility. You could add some batteries to offset more but that

Re: [AFMUG] Vendor for super high efficiency (Sunpower, etc) PV panels

I have to respectfully disagree, in WA and BC the mid winter sunlight hours are even fewer. But 12 x 345W panels tilted at 80 degrees facing directly south will produce far more than enough kWh/mo for a particular type of site's calculated needs, in December and January. Battery voltage monitoring
