    Higher V Pump for Direct DC to Pump Solar Thermal

    So I took everything apart to add a PT ply base with a layer of Grace shield and one layer of 2" polyiso. I also have some 1.5" neoprene for the sides, but haven't messed with that yet.

    Heat Pump water Heaters

    Anyone using something like https://www.arcticheatpumps.com/pool-spa-heat-pumps.html for hot tubs/soaking tanks? Capacity-wise, don't seem to cost a LOT more than than the air to air minisplits, and have pumps (I think) built in. Seems plug and play.

    schneider xw pro set up for 48v lifepo4 battery bank

    Just set the xw and the mppt to the bulk/absorb/float that sok recommends. Xanbus terminated? How is the insight powered? Keep trying? I recall that last one worked for some people. After you upgrade both insight and xw firmware, you will want to restore defaults and reset the grid codes.

    who is still burning wood in april?
