Here's a couple of photos of my solar system.
Don't be sorry, mate. That's what I need to hear. There's too many options and too many adds ect to confuse me. I thought about sticking a couple of panels up on the roof.Quote:

one thing that was said to me today while i was looking at them was, if one panel fails / broken/ smashed ,
you still got the other one untill you get home, best part of having two.
hopefully ill have a price in the morning for the bigger unit

Hey ET, My local auto leckie doesn't have that Merrit plug, so I rang Rosco's Trade Mate in Bibra Lake
and asked them what the name was. Still waiting.
Here's the plug

After I emailed my leckie a photo, they said "Oh yes, they're a stock item" I said YES YES YES, I love you". hahahahaha
So it's all sorted and I don't have to go the 60k's to pick it up. They've got another job in our town and are going to deliver it. YES, YES, YES.
Good result dude....
I like the Merits because they are a positive lock for the "positive" or centre connection.
I HATE ciggy plugs with a passion because they are by design spring loaded to try and push the plug out of the socket whichch either breaks the connection completely or goes intermittent and that happens heaps on corrugated roads etc.
All my bits of kit have the Merit male plugs on them as they will fit both Merit and Ciggy Female connectors so can plug them in to other peoples cars or the front factory sockets of mine if needs be.
should look closer missed the part where you are getting them delivered hahahaha
i even got a couple of spares in my kit what a dumb sh#t i am lmao
Sounds a bit steep. I bought a set of 3 x 40 panels with controller and 10metre lead in aluminium case for about $750.00 about 3 months ago. Working fine.Quote:

With your Evakool , I got the 60 L. and on setting 6-7 freezers at-18-19 and fridge + 3-4 I put two peices of about 2-3mm plastic under the divider to lift it abit and it bought fridge side temp down. The remote sensor is very handy When looking into the evakool alot of people say to get rid of the ciggy plug! I went anderson.Cheers
I've tried 95lt Evakool on 750 w gennie and it gets the temp down, but appears to work better on my 12v in my truck and proper 240V. Love the remote sensor too.Quote:

One of the warranty things is that it must be serviced after the 2nd, 3rd and 4th and I think, 5th years.
Ciggy plug..... my fridge has a fault meter and one beep reckons its a power problem. As soon as I plug it into my 12 v via Meritt plug in the back, fault goes. I upgraded my wiring from fridge to merrit plug to 6mm. Haven't touched the ciggy plug yet. It'll be interesting to see. I know nothing about 12v so I'll be talking to 'someone'. Maybe fletcha can tell me if upgrading my ciggy wiring will help.
