Re: [RE-wrenches] Pika Support by chance?

Hi Bill - I completely agree with your statement about all off-grid applications. Most if not all need generators. And, I do think there are some grid tied applications where generators make sense too, especially for folks who live way out in the woods as you mention. I was speaking about the

Re: [RE-wrenches] Pika Support by chance?

I would just add that the reason there is a generator input, is for when wildfire smoke, winter storms, and damage to the solar power system occurs. More solar/storage might not do much good when smoke drops the solar output by 80%. My business can't use SGIP for obvious reasons. PG ">Dave

Re: [RE-wrenches] Pika Support by chance?

August,             Quite frankly and with due respect about the comment about more PV and battery to forego the need for a generator, I disagree. Those folks living off-grid in the sticks (um,er, myself included), it would be a very bad thing not to have Gen input. The current situation

Re: [RE-wrenches] Pika Support by chance?

In CA the market for ESS is primarily grid tied support features driven by SGIP + backup (public safety power shutoffs, folks who live in less stable grid areas, folks worried about natural disasters) so the ESS is designed to replace generators. This might be a little trickier for areas that need

[RE-wrenches] Getting Enphase IQ Cable into J Boxes

Just a quick tip for those of you installing Enphase. I recently discovered there is a Heyco connector for TWO Enphase IQ cables and a bare ground in a single 3/4" knockout. This has saved us a bunch of time. The rubber gland is prepunched, but you can also use it for a single IQ cable since it is

THe reason they are offering it is probably that they already were Generac dealers so adding this was an easy addition. Also, Generac is marketing heavily to dealers now. On Fri, Sep 11, 2020 at 2:52 PM Jason Szumlanski < ja...@floridasolardesigngroup.com> wrote: > We are seeing tons of

Re: [RE-wrenches] Pika Support by chance?

We are seeing tons of companies in Florida offering Generac/Pika now. They didn't do it when it was Pika, so why would they now that it has an orange label? Crazy. No generator input makes zero sense and even less sense for a generator manufacturer. On Fri, Sep 11, 2020 at 12:58 PM Chris

Re: [RE-wrenches] Pika Support by chance?

Jeremy, Pika was bought out by Generac and rebranded as their PWR cell. Most of the old crew from Pika are now working for Generac. It's beyond me that Generac bought them and yet they still don't have a generator input. That's why I could never sign on to the Pika product line. Good luck.
