Re: [RE-wrenches] off grid PV connected to generator

Best of all is they work together happily. My Kohler 12RES and my SMA SB3000 seem to work together perfectly, without any issues. ___ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.

Well, the highest winds I have personally witnessed in Montana is 127 MPH. Just an FYI! We don't call them hurricanes, we just say"it's quite windy today." Best, Chris Daum Oasis Montana Inc. 406-777-4309 406-777-0830 fax www.oasismontana.com

Unfortunately, these don't work for us in hurricane-land unless we want to get really close spacing. We generally need to hit structural members in Southwest Florida. We have used Ecofasten bases on flat roofs with metal decking, but wind uplift is still an issue in most cases. *Jason Szumlanski**

Hi Larry, We were just called out to an offgrid system that has the Kyocera 120-1's with the 2001.5 date on them. 10 out of 16 appear to have burned contacts/traces on them. Who is the contact or go to person on this at Kyocera? Sincerely, Chris Worcester Solar Wind Works NABCEP Certified PV

[RE-wrenches] Where's Santa?

Uh oh, I can see it now.a bunch of working guys that already have truckloads of tools, but are always hoping for an excuse to buy another one. You KNOW you need it, yeah that IR camera because not only is it going to find rafters, but you can also find bad wire landings, circuit breakers,

Re: [RE-wrenches] Pilot Hole Template

Mac..Do you have a brand and model of IR Camera that you are happy with.This seems like a *very* useful tool if it will show you the layout of the rafters below, from aboveI will have to have a talk with Santa! Thanks. -- Sunny Regards, Kirpal Khalsa Renewable Energy Systems On Thu,

Re: [RE-wrenches] Pilot Hole Template

Your bullet-proof rafter finder is an IR camera. It seems to always work, its just very expensive. Try it out if you get a chance. On Thu, Dec 13, 2012 at 11:03 AM, Solar Energy Solutions < solarenergysoluti...@yahoo.com> wrote: > What the industry needs and I would do anything to find is some

Re: [RE-wrenches] Pilot Hole Template

What the industry needs and I would do anything to find is some kind of a bullet proof rooftop rafter finder.  Imagine the time saved and pilot holes gone the way of the Doe Doe.    Santa?  Andrew Koyaanisqatsi President Solar Energy Solutions, Inc. Since 1987, Moving Portland and Beyond

Re: [RE-wrenches] Pilot Hole Template

Sounds like you already have the equipment. But perhaps next time consider DPW’s Easy Feet. They are made to tech-screw right into the decking without having to hit the truss. Come pre-made with EPDM. Just snap a line, set and screw. Obviously you will need to do some math to make sure your de

Re: [RE-wrenches] off grid PV connected to generator

Hi All -- Thanks for the feedback. Yea, we've always used Sunny Islands with batteries for anything that needs to run off grid. This was more of just a theoretical question. From what I heard, it sounds like the excess current from the PV might damage the generator (or I suppose anything running
