BP85s [RE-wrenches]

[Jeffrey Wolfe, Global Resources]

Gee Windy, I COULD fix the tracker to mid-day position, but I'm really 
enjoying getting NEGATIVE electric bills, and the tracker really helps this 
time of year.

My understanding with the "590's" vx "585's" is that the 590's really do 
not meet the stated data, and have the output ratings, really, regardless 
of label, of a 585. If anyone has better info, I'd be interested.

I will try to do a couple of days of fixed comparison at some point along 
here. Still haven't gotten the Omnimeter hooked up yet. We've been busy 
attending wet and rainy balloon festivals for marketing...

What is the actual amps output? If they are printed "590", I presume
they are, otherwise they would be called "585", no?

Can you fix the tracker to mid-day position on the Astro's in order
to get a fair comparison?

Absolutely! If it's not an Omnimeter Plus, it has some imperfections,
but for the purpose I'm not sure that would matter.
