Our crews have been doing daily reports that include a Google Photos link
of the work they accomplished that day. Creating the shared photos link is
so easy now with both Android and iPhone that we've had widespread
adoption among our crews. It really is awesome. Anyway, part of their
report is to
We scan the barcodes with a smart phone app which automatically creates an
excel file for upload(there are many apps to choose from), and number them also
1,2,3...etc with a sharpie for mounting. If scanned in the right order, the row
number in the excel file with correspond with the physical
I use that DIY ladder module-lift that was featured in HomePower many years ago
and was just recently thinking of putting some stickers on the top of it so
that you clearly see them something to the effect of “Did you scan
optos/micros and take wire management photos?”
That should serve as
Definitely a pesky problem.
Buy Tigomart panels where MLPEs are pre-integrated and peel in warehouse or on
ground. Since those are difficult to find lately, consider Tigos clipped onto
panel frames in your warehouse or on the ground. When we go the Tigo route we

After 10+ years of MLPE (microinverters/optimizers) gaining traction in the
industry, I have noticed one stubborn issue that somehow still haunts us. I

Hello Ron -- Please contact me off-list. We work off-grid only, and deal
with a LOT of small wind systems, especially replacements for older, broken
turbines and towers, and failed controllers. I would be happy to discuss
some options with you.

Ron, I installed a lot of the Bergey XL.1 until they stopped production.
I just replaced blades on one last week and my first install of one of the
first ones manufactured in 2001 is still working fine. We took in down
about 10 years ago for preventive maintenance and replaced the brushes and
Looking for recommendations on a wind turbine from the Wrenches. Wondering what
people are liking out there right now. I know it’s a pretty skinny market and
lots of junk but my client would like to replace an aging model that he has in
