That's how I read it. They meant to write:
"UFO and Bonding Hardware must be installed *no less than *1" away from the
point where two Rails join together."
It's frustrating when using 41.5" W modules on 168" IronRidge rails. Four
panels just barely fit on one rail, so when splicing for more
My read on that is that the splice needs to be anywhere EXCEPT where two
modules meet, so for every 40” nominal module width, there is a 2” exclusion
zone (5% of the module width), so there is a 95% chance a random splice
placement will be in a good place.
Basically they don’t want mid clamps
Hi All,
I am looking through the installation manual for Ironridge racking and
noticed this:
BOSS - Bonded Structual Splice
Insert BOSS into first Rail up until the Stop Tab. Slide second Rail fully
into place.
➢ Rows using Classic Splice or BOSS and exceeding 100 feet of Rail must use
The lower the frequency, the less it will be affected by the trees. I've
sent the 2.4GHZ radios through some trees before with no issues, but I have
not tried a quarter mile. I would not be concerned about the elevation
change though as long as you don't have to go through earth with the line
Hey all,
Thanks for all the good info and sorry for the slow reply. I meant to
mention in the first post that line of sight is an issue. It’s probably a
quarter mile (maybe less) through forested terrain to the nearest building
on the property that has WiFi. There is also a decent elevation
For high-voltage MPPT charge controllers, you might check out some of
the Australian brands (I remember AERL being one). It seems there are
some differences in code there that don't result in the de facto 48Vdc
limit we have here in the states.
Incidentally, we had a product in that space (up to
Jason, this is the solution I was also thinking about bringing up. I wonder if
it would require a change in programming every time the battery was
disconnected/reconnected. If it does need a program change, that makes it much
less desirable. But it could still work. The DIY/ system cobbling
What happens with a Sol-Ark 12k in grid-tie with battery backup mode when
the battery "disappears?" Does it continue to operate in straight grid-tie
mode with only AC connected and DC not present?

use on forklifts and other industrial battery operated machines. Also,
the Magnum would act as the vehicle charger, and would be a much better
charger than the stock golf cart models.

A valid point. However in this region wells often do not recharge as well
as we might like. In these cases, to meet gallons per day you have to pump
long and slow--more hours per day than the sun will be up. That means of
course generator or battery storage.
The economics have shifted
