I was under the impression robin & bob had built one that was 250 ocv input. Was testing it last summer. IF Robin G was allow on the list he might B able to verify this!

Speaking of "off-grid" and Sanyo's does anyone know if there are any charge

controllers on the horizon that can deal with two Sanyo's in series?



Thanks,

Ray,

High efficiency, consistent quality. The heat/warranty issue doesn't affect

you. We could market them to our advantage as a premium product; the higher

efficiency could produce a competitive job at a higher module cost per watt.



My answer is short 'cuz I'm the off-grid guy now, so while we have installed

many, I haven't; this is from the others here.
