<div dir="ltr">Drake,<div> I just did my first Aquion Install on an off-grid second home. It is a 24V single VFX3524. 10 Aspen 24 volt stacks. No one has been living there since I installed it but at least the generator stopped running 2 or 3 times a day just to maintain the heating system. The generator hasn't run at all (since the first charge) the 10 days since we installed it. I am waiting for the owners to come up from NYC in early April to give it the test. It will get hit hard so we should know right away how it will respond. I have the system monitored on OpticsRE so we will be able to see what is happening. So far the batteries have stayed between 24.6 and 28.6. I, too, am anxious to see what happens when we are running with the inverter set for the lowest setting which I think is around 39 or 40 volts. It will be great to have the OpticsRE control to play around with the AGS settings to find the most efficient settings in regard to generator run time. Our #1 goal now is to minimize gen time. </div><div><br></div><div>John Blittersdorf</div><div>Solar Guru</div><div>Rob Stubbins Solar</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 8, 2017 at 12:55 PM, Martin Herzfeld <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:findsolar@herzfeld.org" target="_blank">findsolar@herzfeld.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>Has anyone worked with them with a Sunny Island?

Some of our other product lines don't even reccomend aquions due to that low voltage, suggest asking your inverter manufacture too.</p>

Hello Wrenches,<br><br>
I have a client who is going to take the plunge and buy a set of Aquion
Batteries. They look pretty good on paper, but I'm not sure how well an
inverter would function at the 40 V minimum. Does anyone have experience
to recommend them or warn against using them?<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>
Drake<br><br>
