Re: [RE-wrenches] Record Low

[Daniel Young via RE-wrenches]

I still use the SolarABC’s reference map, pulls the ASHRAE data. Good for the 
US only.

https://energyresearch.ucf.edu/solar-certification/solar-reference-map/

Not record lows, but I have used this for years as the design low temperature 
for string sizing.

They claim the data is outdated, but with climate change I feel safe that the 
Extreme minimum temperature is likely to only go up 

Re: [RE-wrenches] Silfab

[Nick A Lucchese via RE-wrenches]

While it’s too early to gauge longevity on production output I was impressed 
with the build quality and appearance. Additionally, their plastic stacking 
assemblies for keeping them palletized until installation are the best I’ve 
ever experienced. They line up easily if needing to re-stack, stay in place 
once gravity is at play and easily detach with a flick of your shoe when 
handling by yourself. Ultimately it’s a reasonable amount of extra plastic 
waste  to the landfill but better than a broken module. I know plastic aides 
aren’t something to judge a module by but was pleasantly surprised to discover 
that someone was looking out for the installer experience as well.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Silfab

[Jason Lord via RE-wrenches]

Hi Howie,

We have installed probably 150 jobs with Silfab modules.  First their 
330W, then their 370 half cell modules and now their 400 watt modules.  
We have had good experiences with them and there relatively inexpensive 
for an A tier module.  They manufacture them in Washington state and the 
company is based in Canada.  This helps fill our priorities of sourcing 
products from North America as much as possible.
We have had two modules with issues.  One being a module that dropped 
out about mid day, and the second having a partial voltage reading.
I troubleshot both and found that Silfab was decent at responding with a 
warranty credit for replacement through our supplier.  I would say that, 
overall, the value Silfab brings is quite high while also being decently 
priced.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Radian power supply

David,

        I don't have your part and it doesn't look like Zonna has it 
either, though a phone call might be good to confirm:


https://www.zonnaenergy.com/solar/replacement-parts/outback/gs-series/outback-power-gs8048-parts/?8060_device=tablet

They claim they can fix components also, though you probably need it 
fixed yesterday.

Please contact me off list if you have one you would like to sell.
