Hi Guys,
After living with microinverters for several years I would say it's a good idea to have a couple spares on hand. Mine seem to be prone to high outside temps. I've never lost one in the...

That's very impressive!
We drove the last 7k miles on our new Bolt (May 2017) for free. Once you see the powerful combination of PV and EV it's hard not to think about building up to it like we did....

Great Were2!
Next month I'll be online for 5 years with 28.4 MWh of power produced from my intertie and about half that from my intertie/off grid system for a total of about 43 MWh. That's not...

I know, I looked at my intertie today about 1pm, which is close to peak and it was pumping over 5kwh out, that's not even both systems. I'm thinking that I put this thing in 5 years ago and it's...

Wow! That's pretty cheap. I was excited when I bought two 240 watt modules for $304 plus $100.00 shipping.
Right now my old pole has 8 x 175 watts = 1400. Back in 2006 I paid over $800 apiece for...

Here's my August bill. It shows 186 KWH used but that's not really accurate as my 4.2Kw system feeds the house needs and sends the excess to my utility. In fact I've been welding and...
