Title: Progress on the KID
Post by: Halfcrazy on October 27, 2013, 04:55:16 PM
I created this board to update you on progress. We should have castings any day now and circuit boards in a week or two. The plan is to build 100 asap. Some of those 100 will go to ETL and then we plan to start building production units first of January.

Woohoo! Got a small cluster of  panels that would be better through MPPT rather than direct connected.

Waiting patiently.
