<div>I’d also add a good buss bar connection system for your battery banks,
maybe even do one set of series/parallel connections (old way) across the bank
and one set of connections with the series strings interconnected through buss
bars rather than direct string to string. Much better battery life that
way and the more people that learn to do it with buss bars from the beginning
the better.</div>

<br><br><br><tt><font size="2">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
