Hi all,
One of my clients looking for a new off-grid generator mentioned that
there are reports that the ecogen has a less clean sine wave then the
Kohler. Does anyone have any information or direct experience to support
or refute this info. I'm interested in the ecogen, but don't want to

Did you mean 0.3 to 0.4 kwh/ mile?

Todd, isn't your estimate below off by a decimal?

Hi Wrenches,
I've been looking for a distributor for the Generac Ecogen. The ones I
contacted are about $300 higher than paying retail at Lowes. Is there a
supplier that sells wholesale or discounts to dealers?
Off list answer is fine.
Thank you,

We did a charging station for a Chevy Volt earlier this year. We
actually ran the charger for about a week to come up with the design,
based on their mileage ,etc. This also accounted for battery and
inverter losses. We added about a 3400 w array (off grid) and they
drove about 40 miles round

If you look at the bottom of the Encore spec sheet it has the print legend
including "Type Photovoltaic Wire." 2008 NEC 690.35(D)(3) says "Conductors

single conductors.
Seems like a match to me. They just wrote out Photovoltai

Check out the print legend at the bottom of the datasheet; it should always
say "PHOTOVOLTAIC WIRE", and may also have other markings like USE-2 and
RHW-2. PV Wire should be listed to UL 4703, which is the outline of
investigation for PV Wire:
http://ulstandardsinfonet.ul.com/outscope/outscope.as
Even though they say "Photovoltaic" in the spec sheet, I am not sure that this
is "PV Wire". I don't see anywhere that it actually uses those exact words,
and that is the designation in the NEC.

The words "PV Wire" will be printed on the insulation if it is actually "PV
Wire". The wire itself can have various thermal and electrical
characteristics, and can be single or double insulated (integrally or
non-integrally jacketed, as they say). The important thing is that it is
listed to UL 47
Thanks.
Does this wire have "PV Wire" written on the insulation jacket?

Hi Marco,
I am pretty sure that being double insulated is part of the definition of PV
Wire.

William,
Just to add one more thing. I said that the M215 does not match well, but if
you have them on hand, they would still work. You will probably power limit
in the spring and fall, but the rest of the year you will probably do fine.
The M250 has a higher operating voltage for 72-cell arran
William,
Here is what I would recommend.
1. Put pairs of SQ-150s in parallel on an M250.
2. Put PC4JFs as two in series by two in parallel on M250.
3. For leftovers-two PC4JFs in series are the same as one SQ-150 so
mix and match to your heart's content.
The issue
Marco,
My understanding is that PV wire is a separate listing. Exposed DC wiring
with ungrounded non-isolated systems must be PV wire. USE-2 wire is not
necessarily PV wire unless listed and labeled as PV wire. Here's a decent
article:

William, for quick estimates I usually use www.pvselect.com which uses
high ambient+30C for its VMP calcs.

Thanks, Glen.
This brings up the question of what exactly constitutes “PV Wire.” “PV wire”
does not necessarily = double-insulated wire which I thought is required with
ungrounded PV systems on the DC side at least until you hit an enclosure and
enclosed raceway where you can transition to
