Same. We've started calling our initial $100k+ proposals the 'kiss of Death' since we tend to never hear from them again. It's a good way to weed out those who aren't willing to spend the time/capital on a system that will actually perform what they're asking (reliably!). On Fri, Sep 6, 2019 at

Here in Colorado, I've been called upon to do a few design bids for these.  I always charge a healthy design fee to eliminate the tire kickers.  You can spend quite a bit of time just characterizing the loads, only to lose the client when they find out its going to be several hundred thousand

Hi Andrew, Any phrase that includes “per hour” while describing power use, generation or storage in a RE system is probably a misnomer. Think about it: you could just as well say 25kW per second or per month. That’s because kW is a term that describes a rate or power, not a quantity of energy

Last time I looked, victron was not UL and you needed 2 of them for split phase. Am I wrong? Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/ [1] e-mail offgridso...@sti.net [2] text 209 813 0060 On Fri, 6 Sep 2019 07:17:32 -0400, Tump wrote:

Victron has 10kW/120/100A pass thru, inverters and do your self a favor, buy individual 2 volt batteries. Cells DO GO BAD and replacing a cell in a HUPs battery is a CF. AND they really are a pain to install. > On Sep 5, 2019, at 10:50 PM, David Katz wrote: > > The sentence “25KW per hour“
