I remember Demmings TQA concept.
It worked well. Ford used it on thier F-150 for a bit and sold many.
But i am dating myself here.
I used TQA in P&G when I worked there years ago.
They called me into the management office and asked me what safe practices I was
violating to run such high...
Check the paperwork that comes with it. All the units I have purchased told me how to connect it to the grid. Unless there was no manual? Did you get a second hand unit?
I have the schneider 6848pro with charge controllers and insight home.
I originally hated the idea of the insight home until i realised it does it all. I sit in front of a computer and type to change settings for any of the pieces from the same program. I did not hate it after that. I dont think...
Worst mistake I have made was that I did not have a good disconnect on the solar array.
The AIO I was using direct shorted inside and when I tried to flip the breakers I was using for
the disconnect I learned the hard way it was not sufficient. I have since installed better actual disconnects...
I have used both Silver and Gold, work great so far. However it has been only 2 years so i dunno nothing yet on durability.
The 12 gauge stuff is pretty tough. 14 is too flimsy. No issues at this time.
As a matter of fact, the best angle where I live for winter does get the best snow sliding off :)
i usually do not have to sweep them off, but am prepared for it.
lol, I am 62 and still work my stone quarry , setup all my solar myself, do all my mechanical repairs.
you should be fine if there is still a planet by then, 🌋
I have a Rheem hydbrid hot water heater.
Girlfriend takes a marathon shower, uses up all 50 gallons of hot water (120F)
and it takes about 4-5 hours to recover. My unit takes about 500W . I love it.
it is always on the Solar system and never on the grid.
