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 intend to install the system as purchased, but it won't be as valuable to me as it could be. So once I get it installed, and figured out...

Calculating Load vs Production of Turbine

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...

I'm all for it! Thanks!. It's my understanding the inverter produces heat. Would it produce enough heat in the winter to mitigate some of the low temp issue in an insulated cabinet? 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...

As we discussed, I don't want the gas vented into my house. Hope we can come up with a solution. I do not have a garage or a basement.

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...
