  • Post in thread: New Hybrid Build Planning Discussion

    I saw an interesting video on this. The guy does a test to see the reaction of his power output from the solar array when one panel is covered. He has a dc system. There is a negligible drop in energy. I have dc optimizers on my system that are not necessary for shading but they will be awesome...
  • Post in thread: Is there a place that lists all of the inverters and charge controllers specs

    Our needs are small. We bought the big system for sale back to the grid. We are not looking to run our whole home on the batteries. We are looking to run a small subpanel during daylight hours and the battery to keep the freezer running. Does that change the battery issue? Why do you only...

I am a fricken engineer and every time i try and figure something out it turns out that the specs i was given failed to mention a...

    Maybe I'm confused but we prefer a dc coupled system. Like this page talks about. https://www.altestore.com/blog/2015/12/dc-coupling-new-way-to-add-backup-power-grid-tie-solar/ It seems perfect for our situation. Cheaper and the only downside i see is a manual switch that needs to be flipped...

    I have been trying to add a battery back up to my system and the thing i keep running into is that I can't find inverters and charge controllers that have specs that work. Does anyone know of a list that tracks all inverters and or charge controllers. This site and a few blogs have given me...
