Re: Stus-List Where are we buying solar panels?

I am reading the spec sheet. I linked it, you can read it yourself. Do you think they are lying? I sold and installed solar panels and wind generators for some years, I am not unfamiliar with the technology. The panel puts out 250 watts at 29.6 volts and 8.44 amps. Do you think it really puts

Clearly renogy is providing nominal values for marketing purposes. You can't fit all of the specs in the amazon headline. Josh On Dec 1, 2016 7:54 AM, "Bill Bina - gmail via CnC-List" < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Renogy is not very honest about output. 50 watts at 12 volts is fuzzy math >

Re: Stus-List Where are we buying solar panels?

Right Joe. And if you take their optimum voltage and current. 18.5v*2.7=49.95w which is what an MPPT controller is supposed to attain. Optimum being the key word. Josh On Dec 1, 2016 8:14 AM, "Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List" < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: That is ALL panels. NONE of them

Re: Stus-List Where are we buying solar panels?

Sun Electric in Miami. The best prices on panels and controllers. I have a 500 watt system. 2 250watt Sharp panels and an Outback MTTP controller. It runs everything except the AC. The panels were .51 cents per watt and the controller was $495. I used 6061-T6 aluminium tubing 2" dia.  The

Re: Stus-List Where are we buying solar panels?

Ohms law supercedes marketing fluff and folklore. Renogy is not as forthcoming as many of it's competitors. No, all panels are not sold to the same standards as Renogy. Can a car manufacturer claim 30 miles per gallon, based on mileage attained without the car's interior installed, and tires

Re: Stus-List Where are we buying solar panels?

Not sure I agree. I have never seen solar panels sold at suboptimal power points. I grabbed one random model from the Miami Electrical site someone mentioned and it is no different: http://www.suniva.com/documents/OPTXXX-60-4-100%2008%2009%2012.pdf Max power is 250 watts at 29.6 volts, and max

Re: Stus-List Where are we buying solar panels?

That is ALL panels. NONE of them provide full power at 12 volts. If you want to see 50 watts, you need a MPPT controller that is essentially a DC-DC converter. Running my cheaper PWM controller I never get the full 50. Joe Coquina From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf

Re: Stus-List Where are we buying solar panels?

Renogy is not very honest about output. 50 watts at 12 volts is fuzzy math for this panel, whose output is really almost 19 volts. Output should be stated at the working output voltage. That is more like a 30 watt panel when comparing to other brands whose quality factor includes truth. =-O

Re: Stus-List Where are we buying solar panels?

As I said, other companies manage to do it. Renology wants you to think their prices are better than they really are. Fifty watts for eighty dollars? This panel is really 30 watts for 80 dollars if you are comparison shopping. Renogy's competitors would advertise this as a 30 watt panel. You

Re: Stus-List Max Prop 3 blade consternation/confusion.

When you speek of "play" are you referring to wiggle between the blades, or wiggle on the shaft, or somewhere else? When I grab on blade and hold it still and then attempt to rotate either of the other 2 blades they will rotate +or- ~1/16th of an inch. I've checked this play every time it is

Thank you for the replies. The shaft taper does not seem to be an issue.I placed the spinner housing on the shaft without the key and with the key. The position of the housing doesn't change at all. The shaft key as you can see in the video is captured wholly within the body of the prop "spinner"
