I'm considering turning this group into an active training and educational group. Weekly Q&A lives Solar design training Solar installation education Plus a lot more My question is.... Would you be interested and would you actively participate? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Have you ever done the math to see what being connected to the grid for the next 20 years will really cost you?

If you run sets of solar panels, you normally can't run more than 2 strings in parallel without putting DC string fuses in the positive and negative cables of each string. Its not because of the inverter or charge controller, its due to the reverse current rating for the solar panels themselves. Let me know, did you know about this?

Hello everyone. Please refer to this pinned post for a quick overview of this community and how it works. ➡️ About the founder. My name is Simon Gibbs, and I began DCI Industries in 2010 in Australia as an electrical trade business. In 2012, I began getting into solar and then into off-grid solar systems. Since then, I have built DCI Industries with the focus to "make renewable energy better". Part of my commitment to making renewable energy better is this community. I want to create a community where people can learn and expand their knowledge and skills around off-grid solar power systems and other renewable energy technologies. 📗The Rules 1. No solicitation. If you have not been pre-approved by the admin team to post about your own business, then doing so will get you removed from the group. If you post anything that is designed to get people to move away from this group or to sell anything (without pre-approval), you will be removed from the group. 2. Be kind. There is no need for any unkind comments. If you see something that you think goes against the group rules or ethics, please report it to the admins. We can deal with things directly. 3. No bullying, hate speech or derogatory comments. There is just no need for it. If someone is putting up their opinion that seems to be way off track or really untrue, tag one of the admins in the comments, and we will make any kind of public correction.

We want everyone to join in, ask questions and contribute to posts. Together, we can learn so much. 5. Have fun. We have built this community and training library to help you, and we want you to enjoy it. If you have ideas on how we can do things better, please let us know.
