Howie, 
I have installed these in two existing systems (one 48 kwhr, one 16 kwhr), with 
a third in the pipeline. So far excellent performance and dealer support.

They are not stocked at my places, so one has to become a dealer and pay
sales tax. My business is small and I do not want to do the sales tax work.

They only make 48V systems so you can't retrofit them into a 24V system and
they don't (currently) communicate with any of the inverter manufactures

Howie,

Everyone's favorite HP editor Joe Schwartz is now working for Blue Planet.
He did an article in HP on transitioning his own off-grid system to Blue
Planet. I believe you can find the article on the Blue Planet website.

Re: [RE-wrenches] blue planet batteries

2018-01-06 Thread Mark Frye
Looking at the info on-line, it does seem like you are going to need 
significantly more foot print for higher capacity systems.


But had to laugh when I saw the note, "Ideal for Eco-Mansions". Hadn't 
heard that one before.

Re: [RE-wrenches] blue planet batteries

2018-01-04 Thread Kirpal
JayWe have done a couple of Blue Planet battery banks and are very
pleased with the results as are our cutomers. We have a couple more on the
books for the next couple months.  They don't communicate with the inverter
but they are fully monitor -able via the web and smart phone app or web
browser.  They are easy to install, an easy company to deal with and we
plan to keep using them.  Both of the jobs we have installed them on are
Outback based inverters (one Radian and one FX)
If they live up to their ratings it will be the last battery bank some of
our customers will ever install.

I almost became a dealer They wanted me to deal with sales tax and I
like being able to decide that with AEE and Soligent.
They do not communicate directly with the inverter/charger/Mppt. They
appear robust enough to not need to. They work with anyone's existing
system.
They do have an App that gets you the SOC data. I did not see anything for
SOL though. I could have missed that.
They are not reasonably priced at this time in my opinion. I do like the
30LB blocks to build a 200+ LB enclosure. No heavy lifting.
There is the, will they be there down the road? I like the SOC getting out
to my Outback and Schneider systems to the web portals and this won't do
it, yet.

Staying too dry here for January! You Jay?
