Re: [RE-wrenches] copper roof

What I am getting is the birds are dumping on the modules too, which washes off in the rains, dripping on the copper below, staining the roof from the acidic nature of their droppings. Chris Worcester Solar Wind Works NABCEP Certified PV Installer Office 530-582-4503 Cell 530-448-9692 Fax 530-582

Re: [RE-wrenches] UPS -1500w

I do wonder if the Exeltech XP1100 series Sine wave inverter would handle this load? Not knowing the internal design parameters of them compared to the OB FX series, just a hunch. Chris Worcester Solar Wind Works NABCEP Certified PV Installer Office 530-582-4503 Cell 530-448-9692 Fax

Re: [RE-wrenches] Inverter for UPS

Consider the Exeltech XP600 series, as the XP250 might be too small for your needs. Chris Worcester Solar Wind Works NABCEP Certified PV Installer Office 530-582-4503 Cell 530-448-9692 Fax 530-582-4603 www.solarwindworks.com ch...@solarwindworks.com From: re-wrenches-boun

Re: [RE-wrenches] Enphase performance

Do the Enphase inverters clip the output power to their rating like other manufacturer's? So a M190 can only put out 190 watts max? I have had this question for a bit now on system performances using Enphase in designs during our cold spring and fall days. Sincerely, Chris Worcester Solar

Re: [RE-wrenches] clamp on ground impedance tester

I believe the concrete vault is an F-8 with about a 10 dia round concrete lid marked ground, or sometimes we'll just grab an irrigation round vault with the green lids if it's not going to be looked at too closely. Sincerely, Chris Worcester Solar Wind Works NABCEP Certified PV Installer
