Use caution here the battery cycles depends upon DOD and recharge rate. I have
found that recharge rates over C/10 shorten battery life. And if you measure
the recharge voltage absorb volts, you can not push even that hard except when
the battery is low. Further charge voltage gets to high

Seconding Mick's jolliness...
In last year's Home Power generators article, there's a photo of an
Outback Quad Stack of four inverters, installed circa 2006. The two
center inverters are set up to invert, and are controlled by the Hub-10
and Mate, but they're really there only as
mick, bob,
funny you should mention using a magnum as the 'additional charger', the system
owner just happens to still have a MS4448 on the wall from his original system
(we had upgraded his system to a FW1000 with 2 x VFX3648's back in the fall).
i hadn't even thought of using the magnum only
Our last Midnite E-Panel, for an XW inverter, had two ferite rings, for the
AC wires.

I definitely like to require the generator to work hard for every hour in
which we must listen to it, feed fuel to it, etc. (This presupposes that we
have plenty of battery to accept genset wattage minus altitude derations
minus charger inefficiency minus a bit of breathing room for the engine)
Hi The load issue with Diesels is most stand by diesels are started once per
month, and run for a period of time, this is at light load. If the Diesel is
not worked hard the rings lose there seal ie compression falls and makes them
hard to start. Therefore they are load tested on various
A contrary position: two pumps has long been the traditional way of
dealing with deep wells off grid, using a DC pressure pump and an
AC/generator or PV-direct pump. That has been changing, as Flex pumps
go deeper, as AC pumps are offered with soft-start, and as inverters
have become available
Hi Darryl,
Personally I've tried this and had no luck with offgrid
But the issue is that a very competent installer friend, whos not on the
wrenches has had issues with PV powered and AM radio noise, but not with
SMA or Fronius.
He's actually swapped inverters same location from PV to SMA and
I've been using Fronius and SMA inverters to date, but have an interest
in using Solectria.
May I get some feedback on experiences, good or bad?
thanks,

Hi gang. Sharkey suggest folks might find this forum exchange on Diesel
