Thanks for sharing, I've been with NEP since it's inception. I'm a former USN Diver, just finished a 100kw NEP BDM600 on Jeep dealership on the island of Guam. Nice system, you're very passionate about your work, hooyah,

I may be getting this wrong, but the conduit on your two solar module pole array is shooting straight up.

Have you consider placing a U-bent conduit at the end to prevent water from dripping inside the conduit pipe?

In addition, you can, also, place some silicon to cap the conduit to prevent fire ants and termites from crawling through the cable into the conduit pipe.

The problem with these critters is when they emerge on the other side of the conduit pipe inside your power shed.

Cost per inlet against water and critters is a few bucks at most.

Keep safe and warm.

Love your videos. I do have questions about wind generators. What charge controllers do you use for your wind gen. I have a 900 watt 24 volt wind gen. and it works okay but when I get high winds toward the top of its range it wants to send that wattage to the dump. The batteries may only be half full but, at some point in its range it it just dumps that wattage. I have a Coleman Air C440-HVA charge controller for it. I think you have an awesome setup. Thanks for any advice you may have.

Ya got so much going on Kenny you better write it all down! You know the memory thing.You are the only one that knows whats going on.I am 6000 watt grid tied and i pay average 12.00-44.00 a month plus some tax's. I will send you a pic of the add on i built on a pm.All of my solar array's track the sun all day, you gain 37% more power this way. I use optics Re to show my production.Also upgraded to the mate 3s last year. Much better data logging. Yes your meter is bi directional however they did not install one that shows what you produce.Mine started out like that however i went to jpec and requested a meter change to show what the house consumes and then it shifts to what i have pushed back on the grid.Well they came out and changed it, they didn't like it however i demanded it. Now i am happy they will sting you if they can REMEMBER they do not want you to have solar. I have the only solar hybrid 48 volt system in our county. Beleve me i had to educate them.Now i can hold them acountable for every kilowatt and i do. I have been up to the power company because they were shorting me my grid push back.So now they don't try to read my meter through the line they send out someone to read the meter now they can't rip me anymore. They gave me credit.I left with a smile on my face. Keep up the good work. (ARMY DOG OUT)

Hardcharger send me a little more info on the Grid Tie wire up!Currently running my Ham Station on Solar but want to grid-tie a second system to off set Mississippi Power Bill! OORAH

I have the NEP 250-LV plugged into LG 330w panel. Best I’ve ever gotten is 182 watts. Why do you think I’m getting low wattage?

[jld]

Can you install panels on shop or is it not facing right direction? I wouldn't put any on house. may leak

[familyj]

what gauge wire did you use to run the panels that are the farthest away?
