Good to know that there isn't a standard for solar connections. When you get a chance, would you mind grabbing a pic so I have an idea what to look out for when I see a deal that's too good to be true ?
I've been going back and forth on whether to set up a tilting array or not, given that I'm planning on just maintaining with my wee little panels. Still, it would be a test bed for future upgrades....but I have enough to do as it is...fortunately my mounting arrangement will still let me add that stuff later.
The receiver I've got is 'just' a CR 600...but it sounds pretty darn full to my unedimacated ears...same as the Kenwood KS4006 and Sony TS22 turntable in the living room. Average grade stuff in their day I'm sure but I like the noises they make...:)
Speakers to do them justice are the next on the list...gotta share my music with the neighbourhood!
Fortunately, my music is the same vintage as the equipment...and everyone else in the neighbourhood. ๐

Holy S**t your good at this stuff. I hope you have found your calling and have a good job because your a talented dude. Of course, it's taken you a long time on this project but, I'm guessing you have a life/ job outside of just fixing on the Hilton. If you ever need a job and life gets you down head my out my way I'm sure you could find a job somewhere. Sioux Falls SD comes to mind.

Every since I found our panels, I have been mentally mounting them. (boy that sounds bad lol )
I have thought of ways to make them tilt and rotate in a effort to get the most out of them. Most recently I thought of using large TV turn tables for the rotating part but as it gets more and more complicated I realized I really want to mount them flat and not have to get up on the roof or worry about the wind ripping them off. The 230w showed 8.8a max and the 220w should be less, so mounted flat they should be within the abilities of the Eco-worthy. Running them portable next season will tell me if flat will do or not.
