Daaaaaaaaaaa I guess I should have read the entire thread then, dummy me..! Since you disabled your A3 did you leave all the wheel hardware on the rims..?

Thanks Mr. Hoefler, When you do install yours can you please post a picture of the job complete...? Its nice to have a picture to refer to while doing this installation.

I don't think he was joking, From my experience you must disengage the battery's and place the ground as close to the weld repair to there is no current passing by any computer module. Also I would ground the truck frame to a secure spot. I weld everyday on mechanical with circuit boards in my...

Has anyone installed a Hot shot engine heater on the cat 3116, If so can you please post pictures of the install...?

Your CUCV is like mine a 6.2 non turbo stock dog. I think its prudent to burn straight diesel with a quart of 20-50 motor oil for lubricating the IP. There is really no way to turn our engines into a multi fuel.2cents

The inverter choices are 6000 and up. I would guess if you buy it right piece by piece I am thinking $8,000.00 tops. I am as frugal as it gets and buy the components cheap or only on sale or make an offer. Rome was not built in a day, took me 3 years to do mine.

Dell, Thats a keeper. I would be bouncing off the walls of joy..! Are the new rims going to be green or black..?

FireFighterHill Thats depends on your power usage, is this system for your home..? Will 6000 watts @ 12,000 spike be enough to carry the load..? If so I would get a 48v Gel Cell forklift battery for storage, 6048 Xantrex/trace now bought by Schneider Electrical for the inverter charger, and...

Oh gotcha, I thought it was per month. My bad. I will check the stats over the first 6 months and post the results. Just a thought at 36,326.4 constant amps being dumped back into the grid equates to 101,376 watts per hour for 5 hours a day @ 22 cents a Kwh, I come up with $22,302.72 That...

Hey PP, your system has 96 panels say its 100 so by your math they are going to make $6,150 per month x 12 months = $73,800.00 per year for the installation of 100 panels in Saginaw. Now take $73,800.00 X 42 and you get $3,099,600 per year. Don't discount the inphase micro inverters with a...

I guess we can agree to disagree. The system I have been working on has 4,200+ panels, how many panels are you working with. This is not my first rodeo, but its the biggest one yet. There are a series of 6 net meters, I will keep track of the production with pictures to follow through. I came up...

Thanks, I wanted to make the Island self sufficient for wtshtf. I installed this system 3 years ago and have been happy with the results. :) Have a good one..!

We had a Governor, Jennifer Grandholm. Before she left office she had a law passed that by 2015 the whole State of Michigan would consume 10% of its electricity through renewables. The State has incentives just for this purpose. I am not the lawyer just an installer on this site and have asked...

The Detroit Edison company has a program called "Currents" under Michigan law the utility must buy every KWh produced at the current Commercial rate charged to the commercial customer. When I did the math I used an average of 24v. The solar panel is rated at normal operating 30.2vdc so I...

I would say the data plate says it all and IMHO they have been robbing us blind, where else would you go for power. It's like there is a monopoly and you pay what they say you owe. Think about it, they have their hands in everyones pocket. EVERYONE pays them. They will charge what they want to...

C1, I am not the property owner. But, If I had an inheritance I would do the same thing. All it takes it space and money. Doc Morgan, I have seen your new shop when you bought it a few years ago, then you did the camo paint job. If thats the same shop roof. You may have to many trees around...

Could either of you men Post the thread on this process and where to find the windscreen seals. I have to do the same process on an A-3. Thanks for the help guys..!:beer: EDIT: found it cool beans.....!

I am impressed with the ingenuity of the folks around here. Lots of good designs....!

Thats my point exactly. All it takes is money to make money. I really did enjoy this project.

Toady we hooked up the combiner boxes to the grid tie inverters. There was a small snafu in the inverter so I had to break down the unit and replace a series of fuses due to the fact they are not polarity friendly. Somme azzhole decided to hook up the bond ground and the DC negative to the same...
