We have two strings of nine panels coming to make a total of 18 420WAA Pure R REC panels for a rooftop array that will be connected to a 100A 600V Schneider Charge controller. Each string operates at NOTC at almost 500 V and around 7 amps, so combined would make 14 amps. There will be four...

Hi We are down to the wire on ordering panels for our roof top array. We are off-grid on an island next to the sea in the Pacific Northwest. The roof array needs to fit about 6000 W or more on a Schneider 600V controller. There is just room for sixteen 1.73 m by 1.11 m on the main roof. The...

One of our off grid neighbors has had many ongoing frustrations with a "Motor Snorkel" (US Carburation) propane conversion on his Honda EU3000. Even though it is equipped with a supplementary start mixture enrichment solenoid, it won't start reliably when T < 10 C (that's 50 F). Quite a few...

Hopefully not just the usual "promising technology" announcement,, this article is about a type of solid state battery developed in Germany that is licensable for production now. Solid State Battery Ready for Production Characteristics: 2.5 time energy density of Li 10 times...

Although seemingly more efficient and durable, n-type panels don't seem to be widely available in North America (Canada specifically). N-Type panels went into large scale production a few years ago and seem destined to eventually supersede PERC panels as the panel of choice. N-type...

Running a near new, free back alley find nice Kenmore (Sears Canada brand) dishwasher our neighbours ripped out during a kitchen rebuild. Works perfectly in our off grid cabin, except: Large motor starting surge means it won't start on either our Honda 2200i or HondaEu3000 with eco mode on...
