upgrades
Sam, I bought a 840 watt system the other day. As I began to plan the load senario for my green circut, I quickly came to the conclusion I need additional power.

I'm trying to design my "green circuit" in preparation for the installation. I am having trouble figuring power loads vs power produced. If the system (840 watts) constantly produces at 50% or 420 watts, (is that a reasonable assumption?) and I have an 8 (I'm going to get 12, but I want pl...

If the cabinet is to well insulated I imagine gas build up would not be a good thing? It must always be vented but I a...

I have some concerns. Other sites have mentioned vibration and noise. I'm concerned about the roof mount. I don't want to damage my house nor could a endure a noisy device that close to the living space. I also need some clarification er voltage. Your system uses 6 v batteries. Most of my stuff oper...
