Thanks for the comment about the combiner box.Your set up is awesome,I wouldn't have enough space on my little house to put up that many panels.HF must love to see you walk
The panels are on sale again in Orlando...149.00 I'll have to wait until the next sale.Let us all know how the change over goes and give us some good details.Right now I'm happy w/ 12v system,but I'd like to see your results.
Wow, Those are some serious batteries. Must have cost a small fortune. Nice set-up and installation. Have thought about wind turbine but don't think I am in a location that will ever produce enough power to make it worthwhile. Wind only blows less than (est) 10% that would make any turbine spin.
Hello and thank you Bill, I do love the batteries... It is hard to keep them full in the winter. I'm hoping the wind turbine will help in this area. We don't get massive wind, but I have a large open field behind my barn that funnels it in. If all works out I will be adding another 6 cells to the battery bank by the end of spring.

Moe, I just read: Topic 'Power questions from a Noob...' Yes... keep feeding us your experience, I for one need all the knowledge i can get... thanks
hey Moe,
just wanting to check and see if you have any more controllers for sale?
it looks like mine has bit the dust and I need to replace it and I thought if you had anymore I would get a few.
thanks,

Hey Big Moe! Harbor Freight posted the blog article on Facebook and it's getting a lot of attention!
Hey Dave, do you have a link for that Facebook page so that members can find it a bit easier.
Thanks for posting!
Hello David,
That is great news... hopefully I don't have to be on Facebook to see it.
Moe
MOE,
the controllers made here, thanks so much.
I wish for you a 300 game.
