Micro-sine units [RE-wrenches]

[James Lamb, Middle Fork Engineering]

John 
The microsines have fins on them for cooling. I have taken 2 small bolts
where the head on the bolt fits between the fins of the microsine. I then
take a washer and a nut which tightens the bolt to the fins on the
microsine. The shaft of the bolt extends out where you can attach the bolt
with an additional nut to the metal frame of the collector. This mounts the
microsine in the air under the collector so it can cool. I think glueing is
not a pernament setup. 
I have taken the 24 volt wires from 2,  60 watt solarex collectors and
brought them down to an interior location in the home and mounted the
microsine on an electrical box. This enables me to check the microsine to
see if it is working since it is only warm to the touch. The microsines love
the much cooler environment.
Attaching a DPDT switch to the 24 volt collector wires would enable you to
direct power to the  24 volt batteries of a UPS system for continious power
in an extended power outage. Note you must have proper fusing and a charge
control but at least you can have some power in an extended outage.  For
myself I found this to be the best of both worlds
