Yes, APS had lithium-ion storage battery fires in 2012 and 2019. South Korea had 20(!) such fires in the last 2 years, also fires in Australia and Europe. These were utility scale. I think SF CA had one also, residential scale. I'd be interested in knowing about any more residential incidents

Not surprising Zome is gone. They were a very expensive way, dollars per watt to fill up a 6 or 8 inch pole mount, I thought. Yes RIP 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 Thu,

Hi. I was wondering if there are any known instances of fires from residential or commercial storage systems. I'm specifically interested in lithium ion batteries, but would welcome knowledge about lead acid fires as well. Thanks! Bruce ___ List

Array tech has a older product discontinued issue, when there parts fail they want to sell you a new tracker. I dont care for that much, zomeworks has no parts like that to fail so fewer points of failure is better. On Thu, Apr 9, 2020, 12:27 PM Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar < offgridso...@sti.net>

If I were to do a big job like that I would use Array Technology. https://arraytechinc.com/solar-trackers/ [1] I use the small brother, a horizontal axis tracker from Wattsun below for offgrid. Really easy to build and no ladders. https://www.wattsun.com/products/accutrak-hzla-tracker [2]

Has anyone had any experience with single axis trackers? I am looking to do a job that's about 100kw and trying to see if it would be feasible to look into this as an option or not. What companies have you guys used and what has your experience been with them? Andrew Perkins Greenwired P:
