[quote=CA renter][quote=moneymaker]I’m no expert, but I’ve heard a micro controller system is desirable. Each panel’s output can be monitored and controlled. That’s the problem with a lot of systems is they are so interconnected that if 1 panel goes bad it is tough to tell which one is bad.[/quote]
I’ve heard that micro-inverters are the best choice, too.

OCR,
We’re wondering the same thing ourselves regarding the pool pumps. IIRC, scaredycat switched to a variable pump and saw significant results, but would have to find that thread. We actually have two pumps, with one being a booster pump for the pool vacuum, and the electric bill for this house was more when it was empty than our rental was when we were living in it (and it was about the same size, etc.).[/quote]
