Someone added an aftermarket Hard Start kit (extra capacitor and relay) one has to wonder why? Looks like an older condenser unit, did a...

26.8V corresponds to 3.35V per cell. This is the normal resting voltage after charging has stopped, or a load is placed on the batteries...

Right, my mistake. I think the other portion of my post is still valid. The XW doesn't have the capability to and never will bond ground...

In my opinion, the topic of coupling a solar system with a SmartHome system receives far too little attention. There is still a lot of...

This is leading me to believe the battery is dead or the BMS is receiving no current from the battery. Checking battery voltage at the...

If the inverter was pulling too much current and the BMS shut off due to Over Current Protection one would expect a warning code. If...

It helps if you think about the system in terms of the individual components and how to best protect them from short circuits that would...

Could you elaborate or further explain what you mean by "I get nothing". The BMS shuts off or its just that current doesn't flow to the...

Depends on the brand of "smart device" and if its an open system that can communicate with other brand home automation system protocols...

All the neutrals for AC1, AC2 & Load are hard wired together at the terminal block, that never changes. We are only talking about there...

This issue has come up recently and I was also under the impression Schneider uses dynamic neutral bonding via the 5th relay (smaller)...

I would like the majority on a perfect roof facing South but my orientation of SSE fits my needs well. I begin charging my batteries...

My friend’s nearly new, almost totally south facing, completely non-solar paneled roof in Sisters, OR. I just want to get a ladder and...

The ADC is a big part of this issue. A typical microcontroller is only 8 to 12 bits which doesn't afford enough resolution to capture...

All of the popular BMS products discussed on the forum do not have an internal shunt therefore are not high precision devices with...

Yeah Sunny Boy again or Fronius. Maybe see if you can build some more shade for it.

Disregarding the mess inside that SMA box, it is still recognized as a reliable brand and would be one choice. Fronius Primo would be...

The most basic set up would be what you described above. 1) Solar panels sized based on Azimuth, Tilt, average solar conditions. Are the...

Using thermoelectric devices for a refrigerator is very inefficient, in fact I can't think of another way that would waste more energy...

So, I was browsing the BBC news and came across an article about Chinese manufacturing... But, in my mind's eye, I'm thinking...
