I have been on eyeing the brightmount for a while. I initially planned on building a footing with lumber and weighing it all down with...

$1700 for the 8 panel version....

Yeah what more is needed to know about a battery charger? Would be curious to see what they think is missing from that manual.

Measure the DC ripple on output at HVD and it will spike really high. It will fry the BMS fets. Mine fried on the first day. Not worth...

Yes, that's the one. Dumped it in the trash after that incident. Don't charge lifepo4 with it.

Again I know the installer, a lack of experience tied with “likely heavily reduced pricing” for that project to be used in marketing...

No one is disputing this. I'm not sure why you keep repeating it. It is 12v batteries in series for a 48v system. (Terrible planning)

I was at one of the local (very large) medical facilities here in NYC, and every elevator had a very interesting notice on the wall. It...

When are automakers going to start making alternators for lithium? I mean 1% daily loss vs 1% monthly loss is a no brainer. I am...

There are several. Batrium is one that comes to mind. He never called it a 12v system. He said "12v batteries".

It's a Toyota sienna so it's in the trunk, on the side. Similar to the Prius.

After a few years of not having to charge one of these, I'm terrified of blowing the caps off the top 😂 no high voltage disconnect, no...

Yes exactly

Exactly. The BMSs are the issue. IF you could somehow connect all of the BMSs together so they talk to each other and work as one...

The reason it is very significant is that you're going to balancing issues over time. Also instead of one BMS failling you now have...

No clue. Ask them what their regulations and let us know what they require. Every county and state has different rules.

I've been googling like crazy to find other ground mount solar array options for diy systems, and the selection is abysmal. I knew that...

Very nice! And simple. I wish someone had these corner brackets with different angles so we could have a 30 degree wooden solar mount...

If you have a concrete slab, SDS hammer drill, and are practiced with the brightmount like an F1 team practices pit stops, it could be...

That is funny! They are comedians :ROFLMAO:
