Hi all
I'm wondering if anyone knows if temp sensors are common within the following
items
Tristars
Xantex/ Schneider
Outback
I have been told that midnite and outback are the same.
You know how it goes, I've got a bunch of some and none of others
Thanks

Morningstar is a 10k NTC thermistor. Most manufacturers are this. You
can buy $1 to $5 thermistors from Digi-Key.

I'm having difficulty finding a RF in the 16 to 20 cu ft range that uses
less than 350kWh/yr. All of the GE units listed by Energy Star as 300 to
311kWh/yr are no longer being manufactured according to my local appliance
dealers.
I see a Fridgidaire 18.2 cu ft that uses 335kWh/yr (reviews that
Dave,
I've always recommended Kenmore (Sears) which we have - they are reliable,
quiet, and a good price point typically (especially if you get it on sale
which them seem to have every other week). If you look for the right
model, you should be able to get one that comes close to that usage,
Howie,
I usually agree to the Kenmore/Sears recommendation but the closest Sears is
coming in with is with 18 cu' units that are listed as using 385kWH/yr.
Higher than I'd like. This is for an off grid home and the extra 50 kWh/yr
translates to 137 Watt hours per day. For this particular home it
Hi Dave;
Yah, the nice GE super-efficient models have been discontinued for a year
or 2. A couple of them are up here in our off-grid community, and I still
run into them at motels etc. when we are at a remote jobsite. They are very
efficient and quite noisy.
I have the exact Frigidaire you are
Dan,
Good to know. I appreciate the comment on the relativity of the noise. I
will strongly consider going with the Frigidaire. I had heard the GE's were
noisy too.

This house has an OutBack FX 2012. I'm assuming that this will be a good

HI All,
I believe there was a change in testing of Fridges, and I've been told that
many were listed lower than actual kwh/yr
Which may account for those really hi efficiency models not being around.

Dave,
137Whrs/day is less than 3Ah/day on a 48V battery. Not really that large a hit
if the battery bank is not too small, even if you have 10 cloudy days in a row.
Adding more PV will give you more charging power even on a cloudy day. Even if
you only get 20W out of a 250W module, which would
Dana,
It's hard for me to imagine where this would be used, as it
outputs a fixed dc voltage of 27 vdc (24Vnom) or 54 vdc (48Vnom),
which is float for sealed or flooded. To the best of my knowledge,
this is nonadjustable. How would you use this?

It's a small, older off grid home (I built it in 1985). And it often is so
snowy and cloudy here that we can go 20 days with little to show from our PV

I've got a client who wants to clean his water miser battery caps, they are
filled with battery scum
He thinks and seems right to me that they are not working as well as they used
to, and
I dont know what to tell him
Any ideas?
thanks,

I don't think these caps ever worked real well. And as batteries get older
they use more water, right?

An extra kilowatt of modules will only cost you $700. Put up the extra modules
