Here's a cool row spacing sheet that the Wrenches' own William Miller
provided us a few years back. He might have a newer version, but this
should do what you need, I think.

Generwrecked strikes again! After 3 fires in the controllers & 2 more engine
meltdowns due to oil loss I would not touch a wreck.

There are, and always will be, observations to be made about that company
and its founders.
The reality of the Powerwall (along with the accompanying Gateway) is that
it's without a doubt a cutting edge product and has NO peer at present in
terms of what it provides to the homeowner.

Hey Jerry,
I think the issue is capacitor start motors can't handle VFDs. but
there are other approaches to soft start - still learning. Thanks for
the reference!
Best,

Thanks Chris!
Unfortunately I'm finding that unless you build an integrated control -
motor combo that can soft start like Franklin did - the majority of
single phase motors can't use soft start. That is probably a 3-phase
motor in that pump that they have an inverter for in the controls -

Any guidance on getting warranty claim approved when their denial reason is the
generic “unsafe” installation? There isn’t anything unsafe about the 1.5 year
install that I can see. The ECOGEN is connected to an Outback Radian.

I've run a 3 Hp pump on a pair of VFX 3648s, but then the 2nd issue was
DC voltage sag from the batteries. We had a string of Rolls 5000s that
could not keep the voltage high enough below 70% SOC. Be sure to have
plenty of battery behind this system. Also you might look into the soft
start
Here at the Oasis home/office, we have a Goulds 3 hp 240VAC soft start pump
(#18GS30, w/ Franklin motor HS09970 and #3AS30 Aquavar Solo controller); it’s
been running off of my 2011 Radian GS8048 since 2016, when I had to drill a new
well (the water table is dropping) and pump from about 300
Yes I have used soft starts offgrid with SW & VFX for 15+ years, in spite of
doing load evaluations & others installing what ever they normally used. It has
been a great rescue device. Well pump, 2 dish washers, booster pump, etc.

Enphase will release a new off-grid battery in December that will be half
the price of the current battery, don't buy anything from them before then.
Look at Pika Energy. We are installers and they just got acquired by
Generac, we're Generac dealers also so it comes under one roof for us.
The Pika
I think they're only selling the Enphase AC battery in Australia currently
but from what I understand they're phasing that product out in favor of the
Ensemble (IQ8) battery system that is schedule to come out later in the
year. You can get info about it on their website if you search Ensemble. It
The CSW is for a small cabin. Anyone living offgrid with normal loads
should use an XW and they will not have to deal with any of this. It has
been that way since 2006.

Most people I have communicated with say the Tesla battery solution is
extremely hard to obtain, and there are other options out there. Tesla
never responded to any of my inquiries.
Does Enphase even have a battery option that they sell? My vendor says

I would want to be "investing" in the products of the neglected solar

Hey Wrenches,
Anyone have success using soft-start modules on well and sewage pumps to
lower the surge for off-grid inverters?

Thanks Ray and Jerry,
Great to hear from you both with your years of combined experience :)
So yes looking at the 5 sec has me switching back to a trusty Radian -
even then from what you are saying it may not work.
And you are right Ray - Outback is careful to rate the "overload
