If you as a consumer are being offered a non-PWM controller, stop and think about how much the salesperson really knows about solar. Mass merchants may drive volume, but eventually you need help to understand such complicated systems.

Max Power vs Min Power..is it martian to you?

Dear Reader, You may have noticed that I have slowed down the "notification" rate on my blog. As with any young pup, I was getting "over-excited" about this new medium and bombarding you. However, this particular blog on new labelling being introduced by ICP is of major interest to anyone making a decision on their 2006 programs, so I felt compelled to let you know about it. Manufacturers decide for themselves how to label their products, consumers eventually decide who to believe. Click on the link enclosed if interested... Sass PS. If you wish to be removed from this blog list, please advise. My aim is to help inform, educate and inspire. If you find the blog does anything else, do let me know.
