Larry, Is your Kubota the 3600 rpm inclosed model? How do you like it? Is it quiet? Would you recommend it? I am thinking of getting either the Kubota
or a Perkins 1800 rpm to run my shop.

It doesn't seem to have a carb, the intake manifold has a tube that goesdirectly to the air cleaner no carb in between. Do diesels have carbs? Gotcha,
just having fun at your expense .

Mine is the gl 6500s, it is enclosed, it runs at less than 3600 rpm but I am not sure exactly what the rpm is. The gen is belt driven off the 2 cyl
eng. with different sized pulleys so the eng turns less rpm than the gen. Pretty sure the gen turns at 3600 rpm. For me it works just fine, it burns
about .3 gallons per hour, has a 5 gallon built in fuel tank. Pretty quiet, water cooled, mine is in the garage so I can't hear it from the house. Has
oulets for 120v and 240v, or you can flip a switch and it is 120v only. I have had no problems at all, so I would recommend it.
Hope this helps,
Larry

1st i have heard that CFE has any grid tie programs. to do it safely there are all kinds of disconnects and a 2nd meter required. When the system has
a problem or the grid goes down there has to be controls in place that prevent solar from feeding in.
that's how all approved interconnect agreements work in the states for utility companies that have grid tie programs.
if you are on a proper grid tie batteries are not part of the system. |

ok, we could do a trip some time.
currently i am not doing any 3rd party trips though.
avgas in mexico has skyrocketed. Fees are ridiculous.
what used to be fun and cheap has become expensive and a red tape nightmare with TSA and CBP protocol out bound and inbound for US private flights.
just not worth it anymore. i've covered all of baja many times and a great deal of Mexico down to their riviera and centro america. over 30 years
worth. not that motovated to go back much.

grid tie in BCS
Am presently going through the process with CFE to grid tie some of my solar panels.
A simple process in which they require your grid tie inverter have Island protection built in
which most do in order to prevent sending power to grid during outages. There are 4 forms they want completed as well as a google map printout of your
location and spec sheets on the panels and grid tie inverter. They may or may not change your meter depending on the model you have. The do not
require dual meters. A single meter is available from them at no cost to change out the one you have if needed. And finally an inspection of your
system to insure it meets minimum safety standards set by them. Entire process completes in about two weeks due to scheduling the inspection. NO BIG
DEAL HERE!

Interesting, does CFE credit your account if you make more power than you use? Are you on a tiered metering so that the power you use in the nights is
less expensive than the power you produce during the day? What is the advantage to you for going through the hassel?

There is a restaurant in Todos Santos, La Esquina, that has a very large grid tied system, the owner told me that CFE will only offset you bill with
the power produced, they will not give you money back if you produce more than you use.
