    Solar Panel Open Discussion/Debate/Review

    1Louder, I recommend Renogy myself this is my 2nd go around with them. I am not upset, never was.

I had...

    you can continue to push a product all you want to sway individuals, you may gain a few, but most folks will shop for a product that has reliable customer service, longevity of time in business. & a strong following from a great reputation. Price isn't always the deciding factor.

    I agree with your statement 100%, Renogy been in business for a long time & will stay in business because of the reputation they built. The cheaper solar components don't have the tech service, & usually goes out of business or change sellers frequently. China floods the solar market by the...

    Love BBQ'n Beef, Brisket & Tri Tip's large pieces of meat. I use spray Pam on the meat then homemade dry rub, usually a layered of 2 types, a All Purpose \ Santa Maria Style Rub followed with a Texas Style Pepper Rub. I like the meat @ room temperature before when applying the rub & loading in...

    personal preference for fridges is much like any gear is own, I own a Engel MR040 Eclipse 40q & use it in fridge mode only, it holds four days of food max but mostly we stock it with 3 days. At times we head to town to pick up provisions, ice if needed, water, the use of the local laundromat...
