Selling as a complete package, not parting out. Everything works, is operational at my shop and available for testing.
This complete off-grid system powered our remote off-grid homestead for many trouble-free years. Loads included a standard fridge, lights, and stereo. No longer needed as we recently upgraded. There are lots of pics in this ad including a system schematic!
System is currently set up and operating in Arcata at my shop, it is fully functional with all components available for testing. An 1100 watt load test was performed on each of the glass matte sealed batteries by Greenwired Solar, batteries all checked out well and a video of the load test is available for viewing. Bring your own load tester and check them.
Fair price for a used 12-volt solar system including four 200 amp hour glass matte MAINTENANCE FREE sealed batteries, a Tristar TS-45 PWM charge controller, an Exceltech-1100 10 amp true sine wave inverter, and six 75-watt shell solar panels including adjustable tilt rack mount for solar panels, weather tight battery enclosure and electronics enclosure, wiring and connectors.
Buy local, save on tax and shipping. Do some research on components offered and current prices for comparison.
