my power company wanted $30k to bring power to my barn. so mine paid itself off day 1 in my opinion. iv got a total of $12K invested so far and i could make what i have work fine. iv been on solar only for almost 6 years now so id say even without the 30K iv almost paid for mine.

they make a non inverter version as well. thats why i specified it was the non inverter model. just wanted to me sure people are careful when buying. my dad had bought the non inverter one because it was a little bit cheaper and i borrowed it for when i wasnt making enough solar.

so i havent read all the previous messages yet but i have the all in one LG version for several years now ( about 3 or 4) and i love it! i would rather have the new ge version since it has a lint screen but mine doesnt use much as it has a heat pump to pull the water out and works great. i have...

So i was sitting here thinking where to mount my next set of bifacials and i also plan to dig a large pond on my property this spring. had a few different ideas. like a solar panel roof over my dock or just even putting the panels next to the edge of the water or even on the island in the middle...

it only goes 10 miles normally??? thats terrible lol i just assumed you built it with it having limited range.. iv built a lot of interesting toys. usually it starts with a wrecked jap bike motor and i throw it on a go cart or a 4wheeler or a small buggy. but always wanted to make an electric...

Has anyone heard of a possible release date at all? gonna need a new inverter in the next few months and this would be perfect but cant decide if i want to hold out till it comes out or just get 2 6000xp's one 8k inverter would be perfect for what i need.

please let us know how it works out. im very curious myself. hope it works out great for you!

Thank you !!! appreciate the insight on these. was tempted to order one and tinker with a few ideas with it just to see what would work.

well a few days after typing my message about how mine are just on the ground we had a wind storm and now there are only 9 lol 2 of them flew into the field and shattered one and the other ripped the cable out. luckily i was able to re solder it and seal it back up with silicon and works just...

:love: exactly!!!!!! ima go read that now haha thanks!

also i happen to have a spare eg4 3000W laying around from a camper i used to have so i plan to use that to charge my batteries and also be able to use it as either a power source in the field for power tools or to charge my house batteries

well i can get some 3/4 grade 8 bolts. just wanted an awning type mount to utilize my solar for shade. i love the way bifacial look as well.

THE most important factor.

i have 10 400w Canadian solar bifacials just laying on the ground propped up by cinder blocks and i usually get 2800 watts on a perfect day but with snow on the grounds i see 35-3600 watts i love them and will never buy anything else. unless of course they come out with something better somehow.

well maybe he will chime in and give us some false hope at least? lol i have tax money burning a hole in my pocket if they release it soon.. if they want my money they need to release it asap or send me one so i can test it haha but i dont think they would do that. im sure any they send pre...

you don't have to tell us any specs or anything but have they sent you one of these to test yet? and if not they need to! im more excited for this than any solar related thing i ever have because its the perfect size for what i need and i feel like it will help fill a very much needed gap where...

i was thinking the same but it never hurts to wish

after all the cost is figured in wouldnt it just be cheaper/easier to buy a few solar lights?

yeah i plan to make an overhang just to shade my mini spit unit in the summer and if i set it just right still get some warmth from the sun in the winter. i can mount it to an i beam or a 6x6 post. might just make my own mount though. seems like it would be easier to make than modify this and...

Trying to find the best way to mount 20 panels on a 20ft container and not be worried wind load will be to much to tip it over... wanting to mount 2 rows of 10 at about 45 degrees. was planning on using Unistrut and welding brackets to the top of the container (unless someone knows of a better...

i just moved out of my RV with a 15k coleman and it was amazing how much less power i use in my 1000sq ft barn with a 2 ton mini split. campers are made as cheaply as possible. with terrible and inefficient parts.

it seemed like the perfect middle ground inverter which is what a lot of people needed just didn't pan out like i had hoped. i was so excited when it came out until i saw the videos on it... :( my first true heart break when it comes to solar. guess ill just use 2 6000xp's even though 8kw is...

umm i think i speak for everyone when i say we want pics!?!?! iv wanted to build an electric sxs for a while now! i have a very large forklift motor (11 inch diameter drive motor)

yes iv seen their video when i was trying to think of ways to do mine and had similar thoughts. i am in the middle of a big wide open field with wind from all directions which is what worries me. might just go with a ground mount instead. or modify the ground mount on signature solars sight (not...

i have the same problem but also considered filling the floor in with concrete.. then it really wont ever move

yeah thats what gave me the idea cause if its raining and it drips water i likely wont be on the dock anyways but shade while im fishing is always nice. and yeah i have plans for a dump load water heater and main water fountain so when i get to 100% and dump load turns on a large main fountain...

well i may need to change my setup because my array is grounded with its own rod at the moment but its 100ft away from my house.. so thats why i did it that way.

i believe sol ark makes one about that size. if not the eg4 18kpv is 12kw of power and will for sure work. but also the 6000xp might work for what you are wanting. just depends on how you intend to use it. if you intend on feeding back to the grid the 6000xp wont do that but otherwise it is a...

sorry i meant to put 2Ton not 3 lol must have fat fingered that ! and it is 240v and the most i have had it pull was 2000w and my 15k coleman would pull that when it was working hard and didnt put out near as much cold air. that being said the 15k coleman isnt bad for an rv just not near as good...

ooo see i didnt think of that. thats a good call for sure. nasty pond water + mister also would probably clog a lottt and eng up leaving lotttts of naty dirt.. stufff on the back of the panel. well dang. i guess the other option would use the bank of the pond as a wind deflector to push the air...
