A product launch on ebay has gone well and I'm flush with paypal money since the product has over 100 times markup. Now to me paypal money isn't real and I've been on a buying spree, stuff I normally wouldn't buy. Since there hasn't been any interest in building DIY controllers, the plan now is to make a more conventional looking system. I bought a 40A MakeSkyBlue controller for my 60V grid tie panels. Wanted to see if it actually work well with my water heater controller. It seems fine with the water heater. It doesn't play well with all the other charge controllers under micro control.
Bought an additional 520W of grid tie panels and these are permanently mounted on the roof. Cheap enough that I don't care if I have to replace one every three years due to a branch falling. I'm getting to old to be dragging panels in and out. So this makes 2,000W into a 500W controller. Should be interesting.
