Trojan Premium/Signature Line Battery Watering Kit, 24V by Kathy Kirkland

difficult to use
While this item makes watering quicker and easier, there was not enough tubing provided to be able to take off the vent caps to do hydrometer tests. We bought more tubing and it is still very awkward. They are very expensive for what you get. (more)

Good low-cost controller

12/24V DC Vari-Cyclone 60" Ceiling Fan VC-3 by Greg Wilson

24v Cyclone Fans
Have two fans wired together for workshop cooling. At 13 above the floor I get a slight breeze at full rpm. At that speed they are quiet with a slight wobbly on a 3 down rod.
What I dont like is the hub assembly . The half which the three blades are attached rides in a groove on the half ... (more)

Samlex America SA 600W 24V Heavy Duty Inverter by

SAMLEX SA inverter, 600watt, 24 volt input
I purchased the 24volt Samlex inverter to use to power a Green Mountain pellet fired barbecue grill, used in close proximity to sensitive HAM radio shortwave equipment. I am pleased to say, that unlike some inverters, it has proven very Radio Quiet , not causing any interference to operating th... (more)

Primus Windpower 2-ARAC-101 Stop Switch Kit for Wind Turbines by robert jacobs

primus stop switch
As previously noted, poorly labeled for use. Mine broke during disconnect after first month. Tabs simply too puny and weak for the reccomended wire gauge. Will design my own for this year. (more)

Midnite Solar MNBCM Battery Capacity Meter by Paul Lawson

Excellent for what it does.
I have used the MidNite battery monitor for several years now and it is quiet good for what it does. It gives me a quick check on the state of charge for the 20 KW battery bank in my solar system. If one wants to really check their battery system their isnt any monitor for that job. It must be d... (more)

80 Gallon Solar Hot Water Tank with Heat Exchanger by Dana Stulce

Unhappy with ™ 80HE-1
Very optimistic at the idea of using solar energy to save $$ and it seemed practical given the good sun exposure in our area. The unit lasted a little over 4 yrs which was very disappointing but since it ceased functioning just under the warranty we thought-stuff happens with technology and well... (more)

Samlex America SA 600W 24V Heavy Duty Inverter by zachary bauer

Samlex = Bad buy!
I have had it up to here with Samlex. I run an offgrid aquaponics system that uses 4 - 35watt pumps and 4 - 17watt pumps with a 35 watt air pump for the system.

Thats 243 watts total. When we first started the solar system was 12 volt. I went through 2 Samlex 12 volt 1000 watt pure si... (more)

Laing D5 Solar 720B Ecocirc PV Direct Circulating Pump, Sweated Connection by

Laing Pumps
These pumps are great. As a solar thermal contractor, Ive installed dozens of these pumps with very few issues. The people who rated these pumps poorly, like the guy who tried using this as a DB system pump, understands pump physics and hydronics poorly. A DB pump needs to be able to create 2-4 ... (more)

I-Energy GT260, 230W i-Micro Inverter by Tony Purcell

Not Worth It
This company has no presence in the US, and since it is a new product, they are still working out the bugs. Unfortunately, I did not find this out until I had installed 40 of the units.
The monitoring system could not pick up all the inverters, and now after months of the company suggesting ... (more)

Laing D5 Solar 720B Ecocirc PV Direct Circulating Pump, Sweated Connection by Michael OBrien

Pump curve
In my case, the D-5 wasnt able to pump even close to the head shown in the pump curve. The motor side of the pump works fine, but the machining of the pump volute is crude. I suspect the machining of the brass casting is the problem, but without a good one to compare it with, I have no way of kn... (more)

Sun Frost RF12 DC Refrigerator/Freezer, 12 Cu Ft by Thomas Alex

Great refrigerator/freezer
Ours has been in service for over ten years. For the first nine of those years, until we added a bedroom extension, our bed was four feet away from it. Extremely quiet operation. Never woke us up during the night. The compressor system is on top so it can fit back against the wall so less floor s... (more)

Sundanzer DCF225 8 Cubic Feet Solar Freezer by Thomas Alex

Best investment for off grid
Ours has been in service for over ten years and we are very pleased with the Sundanzer. Very quiet, low operating requirements that dont tax our off grid system. Keeps everything frozen and is easy to clean. If the compressor system did go out, I would be able to do the repairs. Love Sundanzer. (more)
