Outback MX-60 PV Charge Controller
Our Outback MX-60 came in today, just in time for the installation of the six Sanyo 195 watt solar panels being installed tomorrow. We already have a MX-60 on the five Mitsubishi 110 watt panel array. Friday our new, updated Mate controller will arrive. This allows us to monitor and control our two MX-60 charge controllers, FX-3524 inverter, and FlexNet DC battery monitor. The weak link now will be the 24v 840 ah battery pack, as we only have about 36 hours of battery storage if there is no sun, requiring us to fire up the generator for a full recharge. Jim Juczak arrives around 7:30 am tomorrow for the install. Pictures will be posted.
Professionally, I'm an IT Engineer (Executive Level) and Electronics Tech. Philosophically, I'm a Green Conservative, and probably would have been a hippie in the 60's if I had been old enough. I live off grid, with Solar (PV), Wind, and veggie oil fueled diesel generator power, and have been teaching and living sustainable technology for over 10 years.
