Just a thought, cause I have no idea… the power racks are black, and full of sand. Would they be a lot hotter than a typical racking system? Not a lot of air movement or wind under the panels since they are resting on the tubs. Plus the sand /earth would retain heat?
The only thing you did wrong here, is you decided to feed a troll. It happens. We’ve all done it. Just stop, and the troll will go away.
Have a great day Will!
Current connected is top notch. I will always order from them first, even if price is a tad higher. (It isn’t).
I also have to admit I’ve had no issues with signiture solar. I ordered a Brightmount rack and extentions from them. No issues. And I’ve noticed their customer service (email) is...
Unless I’m not understanding… the “stock” power racks already have a “flange” to hook the panel to,the tub. As per the manual. No,where on the website does it show these additional pieces. Not in the instructions either. I only found out when I watched the linked video. The YouTube Chanel guy...
@2:25 is when they show the “clips”. I see signiture Solar sells the power rack and they show the “clips” in one of the pictures.
The 2 bottom pieces are the locking clips for the bottom. Top piece in picture looks like the Extention Clip ATTACH]214997[/ATTACH]
These things accommodate panels within a certain size range. I did see in a YouTube video the guy used plastic extentions that allowed for larger panels.
There is no mention of these extention pieces on the web site. Nothing in the instal instructions.
Did your power racks come with these...
I watched a YouTube video with your power racks. (Unplugged Texan). He needed to use plastic extentions for his panels. Do these extentions come with each power rack?
Your website doesn’t mention them, nor does any of your instructions on your site. At which point would you need the...
Is the rebar needed? How much could they scoot? Your wiring between rows…. Just buried? And I guess,each panel needs a ground lug since you can’t bond plastic mounts to panels
I ended up buying a Victron inverter/charger but seriously considered Morningstar. They are a top notch but kinda obscure (especially on these forums). Morningstar inverters are new perhaps that’s why.
Just thinking out loud (and not an expert on manufacturing, etc) but looking at the Brightmount, and the integra, shouldn’t the imtegra be cheaper? It uses less metal. The brightmount has the top and bottom rails, whereas integra seems to use the solar panels for (lateral?) strength?
Any...
So, looking at an “all in cost” the power fields are looking like the winner.
Integra = need EMT pipe, one of their “anchor” products, or in my case 8- hdx storage bins from Home Depot to fill with sand for ballast. PLUS I have to put the thing together.
Power field = pick location, fill...
