Sun-Mar Excel Non-Electric White Compost Toilet by Tom Willette

A Great Product
We have been using our Excel NE for six years at our cottage in the Parry Sound district of Ontario. It took us two or three years to iron out a few problems, i.e.: moisture, flies, odour, but have been so successful that two other once-sceptical cottagers on our small lake have acquired their ow...

Apollo Solar T80 MPPT Solar Charge Controller by James R Parish

Very Impressed with Customer Service.
I installed my 1st T80 charge controller over two years ago followed by a second just weeks after the first. Although new to market as the first 80 amp MPPT charge controller I decided to try it. My first one failed in 2 weeks. A call to Apollo Solar resulted in an overnight replacement while min... (more)

Air X
I hate to rain on everybodys parade, but I have had the Air X for three years and I have had nothing but trouble with it. I have just replaced the circuit board in the AirX for the third time and it still does not work right. If you end up having to change the circuit board it seems to be very to... (more)

Kyocera KD210GX-LPU 210W 18V Solar Panel by Julie Haugh

Very nice panel
I have clients whove installed these panels and they consistently perform very well, even in our hot Texas summers. The appearance of the panels themselves is very pleasing, with no white background showing through, as with other vendors.

Vmpp is high enough for high voltage string in... (more)

Midnite Solar Big Baby Box for AC or DC Breakers by [AMY] "not active"

Great little breaker box
I used this breaker box with the short bus bar to wire up my sisters hot dog stand with solar. It was perfect! Small enough to fit, big enough to handle 4 breakers and a bus bar. Im using 2 breakers around the charge controller, and 2 breakers for the DC loads. (more)

Awsome controller
Im using 5ea 80 watt 12v panels from SHARP. the 2512i controller has operated over a year flawlessly. After using the typical pwm controllers, this mppt controller has been a god send.

Quality product
I installed this product a few days ago in my SPP-30 evacuated tube collector. It is a perfect fit in the header tube of this particular collector and since it sits deep inside the sensor tube, it reduces the short cycling of the pump as the sun rises and heats only the first tube in the collecto...

Outback FlexWare FW500 AC breaker enclosure by David Chiang

Very expensive with limited upsides.
This $270 metal box had nothing but bus bars inside. The older PS2AC I purchased both have the inverter bypass and breakers included, along with much of the necessary wires for connections. This was just a metal box with a fancy logo. (more)
