Verifying Claims Made by Blue Raven

Verifying Claims Made by Blue Raven

Hello fellow redditors. My wife and I are in the process of choosing a solar company. Our home is a good candidate for solar as it is south facing, newly built, and in a sunny state. In order to compare and contrast offers we requested quotes through Energy Sage. Additionally, we contacted a well known local installer that is not on Energy Sage.

We now have all the quotes/offers. However, one sticks out in that it only recommends a 3 KW system while everyone else recommends a 4.5-5KW system. The basis for their 3 KW system is that the installation of 6 LED bulbs and use of a smart thermostat will cut our energy use by 20 percent.

I am a bit leary to believe that claim. First, our house was built in 2017 and features all LED bulbs. Second, I am highly doubtful that a smart thermostat is going to reduce our energy consumption by that amount.

Anyone run into the same sales pitch? Any hard data to back up such a claim? When I ask Blue Raven about hard data they claim that it is based off of the thermostat companies numbers.

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly The message requires a reset to get the inverter working again, but it's random - may happen a couple times a day, may skip a day or two. I have checked every connection, and even inside the inverter where the DC gets connected (2 arrays running). I tried turning off each array independently, but it continued for both lines at the same frequency. The only possible point of spark generation would be the connector box on the roof, which has wirenuts from the arrays themselves to the cable to the inverter. They are tight, but I went ahead and wrapped them with silicon tape (didn't help). Could the inverter itself have a problem? It is an Aurora PVI-3.0-OUTD-US and I can't find anything else in their manual. submitted by /u/Oliver_Dibble [visit reddit] [comments] https://ift.tt/2IrhYav

GAEA Research demonstrates their new energy technology called RSET. It sets the benchmark in high density, clean energy generation. Chief Scientist, Nigel C. Cheese, states the device collects Background Stellar Radiation via a RPP (Radiant Power Panel) offering compatibility to traditional devices.
