I have 3 - 120 amp JQX-62F relays for sale. They are each single pole with a 220v coil. You would need two but these may work for you. http://www.ebay.com/itm/161457606216?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Sorry man, come to NY almost all of the systems sold are flat plate. Fact; snow gets stuck in the tubs. Fact; flat plate collectors get hot and melt the snow off Fact; flate plate are cheaper Personal fact; I got a killer deal on the systems I bought. I purchased the remaining inventory from a...

Tubes suck. People always think they are better in colder climates because they deliver a hotter temp but they collect more snow in the winter. Flat plates are more reliable in colder temps and thats a fact. Yes there is more space, they couldve put panels in front of the solar pv panels...

Whats different with the ITT cable? I searched for it and it brought up a bunch of Time Warner style cable

Old thread I know. But I thought Id let you guys know I just found an oem panel on ebay for $179.99. I thought it seemed pretty reasonable considering its an OEM part...

Oh. I kinda thought thats what you meant. One of the meters was upgraded to a "smart" meter but they left the other one the basic meter with the dial. I assume because the pv system on the smart meter was a larger system but I dont know. Like I said, it was all a mess.

Im not sure what TOU means. I live in Central NY. Our electric is already quite cheap. Currently its around $.12/kwh

I was afraid of that Glenn. The orange 50 amp j1772 was tempting because its only a hair larger in diameter than the 30 amp Leviton cords. I am used to the Leviton cords because I have those at the charging stations at my rental properties. I have now built 2 portable dual voltage evse's using...

Thanks to the idiotic company I used to install the pv system I am only going to be producing maybe 80 of what I use. Probably less actually. I used a local company called Solar Liberty in Ithaca NY and they were a bunch of idiots! I told him I was going to be soon heating a 690 sqft place using...

I really like the openevse platform. I have built many openevse's. Here is one of them on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/OpenEVSE-EV-Charging-Station-EVSE-adjustable-up-to-30-Amps-Prius-Leaf-Fit-/161450575031?pt=Electric_Vehicle_Parts&hash=item25973444b7&vxp=mtr"...

I like the idea of "future proofing" by building a larger amperage evse than I currently need. I also like to build units that have dual voltage capability so I only need one EVSE that will work on 110 and 220. Ive built a couple dual voltage portable cables using Tony's lightweight 40 amp j1772...

Im pretty happy with my set up.

Id really like this for a portable dual voltage unit but it would have to have a display so I could adjust the amperage appropriatly. Do you have any plans to make this unit with a window for a lcd?

Ps even if it does cost you a little more you then have 2 chargers. You could leave one in the car and one in the garage. It's so much easier when you have one that's left in the garage.

Maybe he wants a second evse to use. You can build an openevse that has user adjustable amperage for not much more. Openevse is a great format. I have built plenty. If you need help let me know.
