Jeff, Thanks for the notes and things to look for from the field. I was not aware that there are two versions of their PowerJack out there, and I'll make sure to get the newer one. Kienan, I'm glad you have had luck with the cordless drill. I am leaning towards that one, and it does have more

On that subject, what bits are people using to drill holes through block/concrete (for 1" - 2" conduit)? We have been using some dry diamond coring bits we buy online, but they don't seem to last. We have had them break off at the weld. Wet coring seems overkill for the relatively few holes we

I own the Dewalt 2 inch 60V rotary hammer you linked and it is totally awesome. You’ll be blown away by it. It’s totally worth it. You might want to make sure to just use the huge 12ah batteries that it comes with… might be a lot of power demand fire smaller 60V batteries… but I regularly use

Hi Dave, Yes we were one of the early adopters and installed a 32 KW Nuance system last year in CA. Mixed results though I think it's a very exciting concept and believe in it going forward - they are working out the bugs. The new version is much better execution as far as the above ground

Interesting and the closest I have done to this is a ballast mount. I will say I have broken quite a few cordless drills and killed Lithium batteries with big torque. My vote is a genset/ extension cord. Good Luck! Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't"

Hi all, I am going to try out the Nuance OSPREY PowerRack as a ground mount option that does not require an excavator. I am wondering two things about it: 1. Does anyone have experience with this, and do you like it? 2. What drill do you use for the drive rod? It seems like the Milwaukee 2" SDS
