The problem with capacitors is with the voltage. Electrolytics that will individually handle 40V can be purchased but their capacity is...

With a resistive load there should be no problem with a direct connection between the solar panel and the heating element. A mechanical...

First time post. Brand new to this stuff. I thought I would share... I'm running InsightHome (v1.17) and firmware version 2.04 on the...

Thanks. I do think the loads can go down on the critical loads panel. I need to get the minimal hydronic pumps sized and go forward from...

An 18kpv or Sol-Ark 15k would be massive overkill for a minimal critical loads subpanel. Would recommend performing at least a minimal...

Code allows you to have 240V only panels. If you want the option to tap that combiner panel as a subpanel, then neutral makes it a lot...

If its going to be a system for your home and you want maximum flexibility go with a 48V system, much broader selection of equipment...

I have wondered whether two devices could clash by trying to use the same xanbus ID. Which you could test for by changing the main...

Its because each stage uses refrigerants with different boiling points. The first stage and second stage could be linked via an...

So the Inverter Load would be connected to the main service panel simultaneously with the grid?? Or perhaps the plan is to turn off...

Also saw it and thought, "Multiple pumps, and they have no money to get this certified. They need to sell out to someone." Then I saw...

An AC unit takes a second to start, 86,400 seconds per 24 hours....you feeling lucky ? 🤩 A simple relay interlock on the thermostats...

You would need some sort of controller to prevent both AC compressors from starting at the same time. Even with soft start the Inverter...

For reference, see attached float charge cycle from yesterday. This is a good representation of a proper 2 hr & 45 min top-up float...

Interesting. I didn't leave the them at 100 and charging at 2A for long. But the SOC reported by the batteries was 100% except for 2 of...

The discharge curves starting at about 1 pm look normal. Voltage slowly falls, and responds to current changes, until the batteries are...

Saw this also but I don’t think they are in production yet. Still waiting on certification and test results or something.

Found this on YouTube regarding multi-cascading heat pump technology for extended temperature range operation.

Some of the SOK's recommend 55.2V float. Of course we know that's debatable. But it might be necessary to align with their BMS balancing...

Float should be a little lower, 54.4 to 54.8V. In full sun with low loads the battery doesn't need that much maintenance voltage.
