Hi Drake, Is the Winco the one that is sold at costco? If so, I have used that for clients during wildfires. I buy a truckload (4) and try to keep it full all summer. Never tried AGS because I do not have liability for ags gensets. Too many people have been sued for fire damage with auto start.

It might be best to get the property owner involved and have him call the JHA to re-inspect the install due to safety concerns and install abnormalities not consistent with rules, regulations and roofing best practices. Jerry On Mon, Sep 28, 2020, 9:14 AM Jason Szumlanski < ja...@floridasolardesi

Instead of "ratting them out",  why not just invite an inspector to look at that work, and decide for themselves.  If they didn't pull permits, they're in trouble, and if they did and passed, the whole system is in trouble. Personally, I'm getting very tired of substandard work in the solar f

There were multiple failed rough inspections, but I think there were so many violations that the inspector didn't even make it up into the attic. This happens to be right at the top of the ladder access to the attic! You can't miss it! Ultimately this never passed final inspections (except structur

I don't know about COSTCO. A client has one, and it worked well for years. This model is nearly 12 kW and costs $3,751.30. The client wants his unit moved to another system, and wants the autostart feature to work again. --- On 2020-09-28 11:23, Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar wrote: Hi Drake,
