Signature solar warranty is: We do our best to void the warranty but, if you make the issue public then we will honor the warranty. Absolutely disgusting.

I'm no stranger to learning and diy. I built the house I'm living in with my two hands and it took a lot of planning and research - framing, electrical, HVAC , drywall, septic etc. That was childs play compared to solar. No wonder the unsuspecting public easily falls prey to solar salespeople...

hi guys, I finally got my system set up after 1 SOLID year of researching solar PV here there and everywhere and 5 years of solar home building research and planning. I built my passive solar house with pv in mind. No penetrations on the south side. The optimizer said 32° roof angle facing 4...

Guys, you should all thank me for this smoking deal. I bought a new lv6048 and I knew that as soon as I ordered it a crazy deal would appear, and make me regret my purchase. Always happens. You're welcome ?

total solar eclipse here. PV went all the way from maxed out at 11.7kw to zero, and now slowly coming back

Clickbait!!! But the thread will grow to 600 replies

Lol. You have a bright future. In politics. So 28 it is

Damn. Time for popcorn ???

I told my wife I got a bonus and had to have a ton of self talk to not buy an 18kpv. I was looking at victron but their self consumption doesn't work in the USA. The only reason I would even want one is to seamlessly support ALL the loads in my house. She said "you spend so much on your...

How come no one ever factors in roi when they buy a sofa? Can you put a price on freedom? Etc etc. ???

about a year ago when I joined, it was the Schneider xw pro that was popular for low frequency, and the growatts and voltronics were popular for high frequency off grid. Now I hear almost no mention of them. That's how quickly the landscape is changing. Today 6000xp is extremely popular and we...

I haven't watched Netflix in two days for being on this site. I try to escape but the drama keeps pulling me back in ?

Most diverse forum I've ever been a member of. The whole spectrum from those who believe trees have feelings and should be given hugs and want to save the planet to those who believe the government is coming for them and even the ones planning for an emp attack from China . Amazing amount of...

A foreboding sign?

Very good news. I'm sure luxpowertek is very relieved. Solark- not so much ?

https://diysolarforum.com/threads/my-solar-pv-journey-is-officially-ending.61214/ I had decided not to go solar due to the cost vs benefits. Well, after being on here a while and seeing some great deals, and doing endless spreadsheets and calcations, the decision has been rescinded! ? I...

or at least going on a very long Hiatus. So I built a passive solar house- the roof is 35° slope facing 4° west. no penetrations, no shading. I built it to be perfect for solar panels. BUT, net metering ended two months ago before I could get in and I have spent the last two months trying to...

Why are we fighting? Who out there that can afford victron would choose to buy voltronic? Those of us who buy voltronic do it because victron is not within our budget No need to argue about this.

Idle power is a factor 24/7. That's what it takes your inverters to run

Is there one thread on this forum that hasn't gone off track? If it exists I haven't seen it

First video I've found on it. Will be checking the channel for more content

These guys are something else. I was looking at their 20s packs then david poz made a vid on them and they sold out a week later. So when he made a vid on the 8s packs, with 10% discount, I jumped on them , far before I needed them. Good thing I did cos they sold out a few days later. Almost 3...

Until the rebadged eg4 version comes out then it's best thing since sliced cheese.

I believe solar sales is way dirtier than used car sales and I hope the hammer comes down on all the shady companies and practices.

That's actually kinda bad advice. Turning off and on frequently kills ac units and is not more energy efficient because you have a large inrush every time it turns on. Also, if your ac is oversized it doesn't run long enough to pull humidity out of the air. And where I live in the hot humid...

video but it doesn't have to be polished. zero production value is fine as long as its concrete and to the point , IMHO

Yes, I am comprehension challenged. So my neighbor is selling MY product and I am getting more sales overall And that's a problem for me how?

My reasons for #neversolark 1. They LIE and claim deye technology as their own 2. They've stifled competition so the price is literally double what it should be for a deye split phase inverter in the usa

It also means the future of battery storage is bright, unless they kill that too with regulations

ive done a lot of diy. and building a diy battery may be the easiest thing ive ever done. the 16 cells already came with busbars. I had to crimp on ends to the jk bms leads. I encased it in some plywood and it was done. literally one of the easiest projects ever.
