[RE-wrenches] Two Dilemmas

[Bruce Erickson]

We’ve moved the whole thing using a pallet jack. Low center of gravity, nothing is hanging, no disassembly. But it assumes that the cases were placed on blocks originally so you can get the jack under them. Also helps if it's on a slab or a very sturdy wooden floor. We get them outside and hire a local firewood guy with a hoist on his truck to load them and take them away or transfer them to the recycler's truck.

After reprogramming the CCs and inverter with new charging parameters, I can’t get the Trace to export excess production once the batteries are charged. I do have the inverter set to “Sell” mode What am I missing? I have had little experience with the Trace line.
