was bogus. The shipping costs more than the panels.. The Power Jack model I wanted didn't have an LCD watts-volts display, and I told them. So, they build the same unit again, and didn't install the LCD board! I'm almost ready to try again.. That big one will have room inside (I hope) to install RFI-EMI filters, an SSR & etc.. I'm thinking of buying one!! But, I would get the high voltage model (50-100vdc), so I won't have to reconfigure my panels. It would be plug-n-play, since they run about 68vdc. (I would sell the one I have now on-line. It's a 28-52vdc 120ac). My idea was to get a cheap GTI setup to use to supply some extra kick to my back-up 5kw gas back-up generator. If I could get about 400w of PV backing the gas gen, it would use less gas and I could get a longer run time. It's likely we will never have another long black-out, so this stuff will most likely never be used.. And, I guess that's a good thing.. |

Well, it was a pipe dream. I decided to order one of the Jumbo 1200w PJs and my order was rejected.
"Seller not accepting your bid"! I'm not sure why. Maybe they mis-priced it, since the exact same item is in their eBay store for about $90 more. Item number: 390228217691 @ $339.99 Or, the PowerJack folks have grown weary of me.. Yeah, that's it.. I just made a best offer on the Jumbo model and got this.. " Warning Unfortunately, this seller has decided that you are not permitted to place best offer on their listings. You may contact the seller via the Ask Seller Questions feature if you want additional details. Please note: You may not use other eBay accounts to place best offer on this seller's listings. Doing so may result in your indefinite suspension from eBay. " Dang!! Last edited by Xringer; 09-02-10 at 10:57 AM.. Reason: Banned from buying PJs!! |
