[RE-wrenches] Mobile Solar Power Systems

[jay peltz]

Hi Chris,

I happen to have seen one of their trailers.  they were trying to sell  
them in my area.  While I think they have their place, it was way more  
expensive than a standard installed system.

  I though  the metal work  was well made, the electrical work  on the  
other hand  was lacking.

Lots of parallel strings of  group 27 12v sealed batteries, no venting  
for the inverter/CC housing.
The strangest part was that the panels hinge as in the web site, but  
the electrical connections were across the the hinge.  ie you had to  
connect and disconnect each time you open or close the system, or rip  
out the wiring if you forget.

Outback sealed inverters + CC on the one I saw.

My 2 cents,

jay
