[RE-wrenches] Generac Warranty claim ECOGEN 15k (Dana)

I have a ECOGEN that ran well for a couple of years as originally setup. Then it began having problems with management of the extra oil reservoir (the engine would become flooded with oil and it would belch smoke). I gave up trying to repair that out of frustration and have been running it for the past two years with just the engine oil. I eliminated the extra oil res and it has not caused any problems since. I change the oil at 100 hours now rather than the 500 hour interval the original setup called for.

Mine died from brushes , I guess catching fire, and that was precipitated by an oil leak on the upper oil hose. The crimp-on fitting was allowing oil to bypass the clamp, spray on the engine and generator head. There is vent hole right on the top of generator head in a perfect place below the oil tube/air intake to breath in the oil and send it through the generator head. Just lovely.
If yours is still working, I’ll send you a photo and a note to make a correction to the oil line.
Thank you,
Maverick

When you say it died, what was the problem?

Same experience here in Canada. We installed two Ecogens last year, against our better judgement. Both were dead in under 12 months. One was rebuilt under warranty and promptly died again, no coverage in that case. Another was refused warranty as it has been used (sparingly) as prime power during construction, prior to being connected to the inverter system. No warranty if it's not connected to an inverter system on day 1! That model was promptly pulled from the market according to our local ASC, and has been replaced with something similar apparently.

Generwrecked strikes again! After 3 fires in the controllers & 2 more engine meltdowns due to oil loss I would not touch a wreck.

Wrenches
Any guidance on getting warranty claim approved when their denial reason is the generic “unsafe” installation? There isn’t anything unsafe about the 1.5 year install that I can see. The ECOGEN is connected to an Outback Radian.
Generator has 950 hours on it before the brushes melted down from being exposed to engine oil.
Thank you,
Maverick

Subject: [RE-wrenches] solar inter row shading
HI All,
I’m wondering if there is any programs/apps that do inter row shading?
I can’t find any.
RBI used to have one, it was really slick.
Thanks

Here's a cool row spacing sheet that the Wrenches' own William Miller provided us a few years back. He might have a newer version, but this should do what you need, I think.

I have a spreadsheet on our website that might do the trick. It gets complicated with non-flat ground and rows that are not due east-west. It’s been a long time since I used it but give it a try.
MillerSolar.com, find resources tab.
