[Carl Emerson]

Hi there,

 

Anyone got some real world performance data that shows how well the Unisolar
US64 panels are holding up after several years in service?

[Chris Daum]

Hello William:  
 
Check with Dennis Austin at Solar Power & Pump Co, out of Elk City, OK.
866-246-7652 or 580-225-1704.  He's a good ol boy who'll help you out if you
can get ahold of him!
 
Good luck,

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Need Lorentz pump service


Friends:

I have a client with a Lorentz pump controller that is malfunctioning and he
is without water.

I understand that Genpro Energy is the only service agent in the US.  Is
this correct?   They are not answering their phones today, I assume because
of blizzard conditions.  

Is there a replacement for the PS6000?  Is there another service company?

Thanks for your help.  Needless to say, this is a real serious problem.

Hi there,

 

Can someone confirm that there is still no MPPT regulators available capable

Re: [RE-wrenches] IE / Goldline TD-6 or equivalent

[Karl Schwingel]

I'm waiting on delivery of the new ThermoK logger from APRS 
www.aprsworld.com
I don't have the specs yet, but should be using a 10K thermistor, with 
something like 6 channels, data logging and 2 relays.  I will report 
back to the list when I have some hands on experience with this new product.

Thermal Wrenches,

I am looking for a multi position temperature monitor that utilizes 
remote sensors with a distance capacity of 200' or more.  This is for 
a combo wood boiler, solar thermal heating system supplying two 
buildings.  The Goldline TD-6 would be adequate (if anyone has a 
leftover, please contact me off list).  Since these have been out of 
production since 2005, I am looking for an equivalent.  A single 
station monitor with a known, replicable sensor (10k thermistor 
preferred) could be made into a multi channel with a rotary switch.  
There are a multitude of digital thermometers with attached probe, but 
it seems hard to get info about the probe type or value.  Any thoughts 
or experience is appreciated.


Thanks,

Re: [RE-wrenches] Shell/Solar World 75's clones

[Larry Crutcher, Starlight Solar]

David,

I just got 5 used Siemens 75 watt modules in good condition. They are  
the same module you are looking, they just pre-date Shell. Not cheap  
as we have very high demand for these used panels (traffic control  
signs used tons of these). Let me know soon.

I need to find a source for 75 to 80 watt modules that are closely  
equal to Shell/Solar World 75's: 20.75" x 47.2", 4.3 Imp and 17.3 Vmp


Jeff Randall (DPW) told me about an AEE 80J module, that I do not  
see listed in their latest modules. Sharp 80's are very close in  
size and voltage but Jeff says the J-box is in an awkward location  
for his Top of Pole Mount. This job is for a large TPM (already  
ordered) for a job with half old modules and half new and now the  
Solar World 75's can't be had, as far as I can tell. It's a long and  
boring story about how this came to designed as it is.


Any advice from AEE folks David K, or Brian T? Or others?

Re: [RE-wrenches] SHW $/ft^2

[Karl Schwingel]

Remember Nick, that software hasn't really been touched in 15 years or 
something like that. 

I've been hearing $120/SF around the midwest for Large (400sf and up) 
commercial DHW systems.  Those are really nice systems, with all sorts 
of subcontractors involved.  Commercial pipe fitters and roofers, 
commercially insulated, etc.
I'm sure it could be done cheaper if you did everything in-house. Our 
state rebate program (focusonenergy.com) publishes data on prices, I'll 
see if I can find it online and send a link to the group.

Hi Folks,

We've had several discussions about $/W for PV. How about the 
equivalent for SHW? What is a reasonable turn-key price for commercial 
SHW? The F-Chart software uses a default of $15/ft^2. Either this is 
ridiculously low or I'm doing something really wrong...


Thanks in advance,
Nik
