With the Sol-Ark (or other DC coupled inverter/charge controller combinations such as the Envy), will the system pass through solar power if the inverter has turned off on LBCO? If not, then these alternative methods for powering the RSD signal generators won't make a difference, correct? And does

Hi All, I'm looking to move along some damaged Outback (GVFX and VFX) boards. I found an older thread referencing Kris Stone, but didn't have luck with the email. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! -- Matt Sherald PIMBY Energy, LLC 304-704-5943

The 48v to 12v DC converter approach should be immune from the inverters LBCO since it lives on the battery side of the inverter/bus. I’ve done a few systems using Tigo’s without issue. The main concern is you now have a DC load attached to the battery output lacking DC load protection that

Gentlefolk, I have a 35 watt radio transmitter that I need to station in the desert for a critical application. Any recommendations for a turnkey provider of a combined solar/wind/battery system? Should I build it myself? Thanks, Mark Frye Berkeley Solar Electric Systems 530 401 8024

[RE-wrenches] Adding customer to Optics RE system

Friends: This is a subject that has frustrated me for a long time. I have asked Outback Tech support but none of their people do this because they are not customers. I will connect anew system to Optics and send the client an invitation. The customer creates and account and then is directed

Greetings William, I think the trick is to have the customer wait until they get the invite and not have them create an account ahead of time. However on your end, it does say something about the client being able to add the system if they already have an account. I too have come across this

Zonna is a dependable resource. I often find they have more repair boards and parts in their inventory than Outback does themselves. Whether the older legacy boards or newer VFXR series, Zonna has them. I think of them as the off grid distributor solution provider that AEE used to be known for.

As far as wind is concerned, I recommend SuperWind, made in Germany. It is well built and designed to handle high winds. It is rated at 1000 watts and I have seen data showing over 1kwhr for an hour increment. Typically it is outputting 100 to 300 watts. My customer found it on line and asked

Sorry Howie, I now see you were specifically asking about inverter/charge controller combo solutions. I should have caught that detail. Still seems as an easy workaround though if for some reason the inverter manufacturer failed to isolate the 12v output independent of the AC output LBCO.

Regarding AEE and off grid support, I'm not really in touch with them much any more so I can't say. You could ask Glenn Hall, he'd be able to say if he's heard anything about hiring a new tech. Of course finding someone with much off grid experience would be hard. Glenn and Alex do have some
