Dankoff SUNCENTRIC SEAL AND GASKET KIT 7xx1 to 4 by STEVE FENNELL

Dankoff Suncentric HT repair parts confusion
I ordered the only seal and gasket kit offered for a Suncentric only to be severely delayed in finishing the service call because there was not an HT (as in high temp) version listed. I found this out by accident while talking to a Dankoff tech support person. Had I installed these bushings, th... (more)

Midnite Solar MNBCM Battery Capacity Meter by Gary Southworth

Not What I needed
I bought this meter to tell me the SOC of my battery. It was at 100% when I hooked up a small tv. It went to 70% in about 2 seconds. I unpluged the tv and it went back to 100%. I need a meter to tell me the correct % so that I will not damage my battery. This is not that meter. I guess you get wh... (more)

SHURflo 2088-713-534 Premium Surface Pump, 12V by Paul Kuenn

Pump great for the gardening!
Weve had the premium 12V Sureflo for over a year watering our garden. We have 1500 gallons of stored rainwater in 3 tanks underground and this pump does a great job of spraying 20-30 feet with 3/4 garden hose. The extra filter is nice for nozzles and is very easy to remove and clean. (more)

Shurflo 9325-043-101 Submersible Pump by Rahoby Ra

Average
I bought a Shurflo 9300 pump in 2010, since then I had to replace the brush kit (after only a year of use) and recently the pump stopped working because of a problem with the valve. (more)

Xantrex XW System Control Panel 865-1050 by Mike Garland

works great
I would like to know how much inverter power I use each day.
It shows a per Day total for each XW60-150 solar charge controller, and if you got the XW80-600 it shows per day and month and years, which is nice.
But it would be nice to know the total per day of inverted power. (more)

Samlex SDC-5 24V to 12V DC Voltage Converter, 5A by James Wilson

Not good in 24 volt solar installation
Works well from a 24 volt battery bank, but when the sun hits the panels and brings the batteries up to around 29 volts this thing shuts down - even though its rated to 32 volts and Im only drawing about 1 amp. (more)

Bogart Engineering PM-5000-U PentaMetric Input Unit by Joe Jarmoluk

Good design, seems to do its job
I have the pentametric paired with the Ethernet unit on my small (125 watt) off grid system. For starters, Id like to compliment bogart for making it here in the US. Thats actually one of the reasons I chose it over the Xantrex link pro line. Wiring it up took a while because of how advanced th... (more)

Sundanzer 5.8CF Battery-Powered Refrigerator by Anita Kelman

I am very disapointed!
I bought both a Sundanzer fridge and freezer for my off-grid home. The freezer has been fine but the fridge failed shortly after it was out of warranty. When I called Sundanzer for assistance they knew what the problem was- tiny holes in the freon lines. But they wont cover it or stand behind th... (more)

Sun-Mar 400 100 gal cap Garden Composter by Pual Stevenson

Great idea Horrible product
I have had 3 of these composters due to warranty replacements.
They work wonderfully for 3-6 months and then fall apart when the center seperates and it falls out of the cradle.
I have tried 2 all-thread rods through the side and a bolt in the back to hold the center drum in and they s... (more)

Wattsun Dual Axis Trackers by James Ford

Buyer Beware repairs ahead
The wattsun trackers are not reliable and repairs are a real hassle. I have had to return my controller and sensor for repair six times in the last three years. The service department is obnoxious and will argue with you when you complain about the frequency of repairs. This year the tracker stop... (more)

Apollo Solar T80 MPPT Solar Charge Controller by Alvin Bradner

Customer Service
I have a T80HV. It was very difficult to get a hold of customer service, although when I finally did, they were extremely helpful. Sad, Apollo doesnt spend more time on ensuring customer service support. (more)

Delta LA302DC DC Lightning Arrestor, 500V by David Slater

Great until you cut them open and find a simple spark gap in a pot of sand
Better than nothing but the Delta lightning protection time has passed.

Pump Performance
I just finished a 7-day test of this pump and it performs exactly as the specified on the data sheet. Our delta h is about 140 feet and the pump transferred 5 rpm at that head.

The unit is quiet, starts early in the day and pumps late into the evening. It makes a convenient installati... (more)

Apollo Solar
As of 24 May 2012, I have been unable to make contact with anyone at Apollo Solar. (I have their 4Kw 48v inverter, T80HV charge controller, and ISM.) They do not respond to email, or phone calls. All I get when I call, no matter which menu option I choose, is voicemail I believe they are either o... (more)
