One of our Enphase customers reported that his local electric utility
installed a new metering system, TWACs by Aclara. Once they installed a
new meter on the service, the system began registering ACFOOR (AC Frequency

Dave,
Were you successful in tracking down one of these pumps? We have a number
of Schuco units in the field all running fine at present, but it would be
good to have a part source when the time comes. Any joy locating a US
distributor for the Tyfocor-LS?

Hi Carl,
Yes. I ordered the WILO circ pump (and have received) from PAW last week. I
also have one coming from Schuco USA covered under warranty. Schuco is still
answering the phone in CT. See Sandor's contact below. He was very helpful,
unfortunately he had to source the pumps out of Germany
Has any put together an ac-coupled system using the Xantrex ProSine
inverter? I've got a customer that wants to try this and I don't even
know if it is possible to do with the ProSine. I'd rather not be the
first to give it a try.

Hi Kent,
It will blow up. The Prosine is not bi-directional. You can only use an
H-Bridge type inverter.

Hello,
What types of problems/issues are people seeing when installing grid-tied or

depending on the system it can involve rewiring if the home
For FLA batteries, we only use plywood for the boxes. I'm worry about
corrosion.
For AGM, we use metal, usually AL. Stainless is more expensive.
Thank you,

Check with manufacturer to be sure. I've had AGM's in 24v system's set at
29.2 Bulk/Absorb and other manufacturers (Full River for one) that say 29.6
is fine. So, with an FM80 I would recommend 4 strings of 2 modules to ensure
that you can always get that VMP up where it needs to be.
Jesse.why wouldn't you wire at least 2 modules in seriesthis way
you have less breakers to deal with, less cord grips if paralleling in a
combiner box, less homerun cables to the combiner and you will also benefit
from greater energy harvest in your MPPT conversion particularly during
cold
Good info, I thought maybe the warm days the system might drag the voltage to
low, that's why I asked.
So, on to MPPT controllers. Again limited use, so looking for some good info.
Kinda limited battery experience to be honest. Just very small cabin/shacks.
