[RE-wrenches] Sunny Island guide request

2015-07-27 Thread Allan Sindelar
Wrenches, Can anyone direct me to an online guide to setup and operation of the Sunny Island? I am faced with an existing quad stack SI system with some anomalies in its interaction with a generator, and I suspect that some of its behavior is due to settings and

Hi Jay; Price, proven long-term reliability, no high-tech computerized Battery Management System, and finally lots of questions about NiFe from potential prepper clients. A lot of grid-connected folks are best served by a backup generator, but want to have batteries stored in pristine condition

Hi: When deciding on voltage drops and otherwise working out the design of a solar system, one thing that needs careful attention is to make sure that the array voltage does not drop below a level at which the inverter cannot produce full power. This voltage will occur when the inverter is

WrenchesI have had good experiences with these batteries and with the same issues with the magnum on 12 volts, don't seam to have any issues with my 48 volt systems. We did double up the cables to reduce the high load (overdriving) the radians with no issues. It's just the cost, but it
