<DIV><FONT size=2> We now have a PV-direct water pump solution
for pool pumps, Polaris vacuum and well pumps up to 2 HP. The 1 HP solution is 4
250 watt panels into a device that takes the DC and creates 208 3-phase. Replace
the pump motor with a 208 motor and off one goes. The HP of the pump dictates
the # of panels needed. We like it here in the south as Utilities try to limit
the size of residential PV and lots of folks have pools.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> The pump solution is stand alone, does not feed
back to the grid making it outside the guidelines. The biggest positive is we
often have prospects that do not want to write a check for a large system but
will for the pool offset, making them great prospects a year or two later when
they have tasted the power bill savings</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> We are also starting to use the solution for chicken
houses and the high volume fans that pull air through the chicken houses. Always
something new :)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>How 'bout a Tesla Powerwall? That way you can test it out first and let
us know how it goes :)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Got any flexible, multi-application thin film out there?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>How about PV-direct water pumping? That's going to be a hot topic for us
in Cali. here pretty shortly.</DIV>

<DIV>All great ideas!! </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We do have S-5 both for racking and the PV kit. To Great point we do
cover efficiency, passive solar, load shifting... We do have internships
with install companies and the utilities. We have 5 different racking types
and one ballast mount for hands on work. We have 4 on campus systems all
with different monitoring (Tigo, enphase, egauge and SMA) while working on
the mock roof we do tie off and observe a safety procedure. We also cover
OSHA regs as part of class and the students get OSHA 10. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The battery ideas are good too. LION and such are needed for sure along
with monitoring for those systems. I just did my first solaredge system and
I agree that is a must. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We also need some design software. We have the pathfinder and solmetric
software we use in class and we use PVwatts and those similar to
that. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Much appreciated. I hope to build lab that covers as much as possible
for use with students and our continuing ed electrical
programs. </DIV>

Dream system.</SPAN><BR><BR></DIV>Hello all,<BR><BR>I was recently hired
to be the full time electrical instructor at a local community college. In
the second year of the class there is a 6 credit "renewable energy and
habitat house" course. I have been teaching at this college as an adjunct
instructor since 2009 teaching for 3 of the 7 local iron ore mines,the
local paper mill as well as doing most of the NEC code update courses.
During that time I ran a one year and a 6 month solar PV course. I have a
fairly nice lab built for the PV course consisting of the
following:<BR><BR>2 axis tracker <BR>Fixed tilt pole mount <BR>20'x16'
mock roof with shingles and metal roofing <BR>Enphase systems <BR>(3) 700W
SMA inverters<BR>Outback setup<BR>Xantrax 600v 80A charge controller
<BR>Magnum 4024 inverter (AC coupled goal with this) <BR>Tigos<BR>300W
Morningstar on a demo cart<BR>Couple Solectria inverter (not used
much)<BR>Trace 4024 (purchased in 99)<BR>Trace DR 1524 that goes along
with our 1Kw Bergy <BR>Multiple battery brands and types AGM and flooded
<BR>Pathfinders<BR>Suneye (2 210s)<BR>600V Solmetric PVA<BR>Racking,
quickmounts standoffs, clamps nuts and bolts...<BR><BR><BR>Modules
include: 90W sunwize, Solarwolrd 175, REC 215W, silicon energy 190W,
kyocera 210W, solar frontier 100W (I think 100W) AEE 95W, Dasol 15, 30,
135w. <BR><BR>Assuming I stay with this job for the next 25 years, which
will take me into my early 60s and my goal, I will have a yearly budget to
spend adding to this lab. <BR><BR>Here is the question, seeing what we
have now what individual pieces would you add or what system would you
build with the goal of community education or training electrical students
and electricians. <BR><BR>Long winded but I am very interested to hear
your ideas!<BR><BR>Have a good weekend and
thanks!<BR><BR>Jesse<BR><BR><BR><BR>Sent from my
