Congratulations President Trump! God bless you. God bless America.

The argument is that because we use power after sundown and because the power companies couldn't make money from us when sunup, then they would charge everyone a higher price to make up. It seems they should explain why their rates suddenly doubled and it's not the fault of guys with some...

Need 200 micro wind turbines close to ground 20W each. Bought this to try https://www.ebay.com/itm/314062888493?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=snf-osyrrtq&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=z0tdVRtXS2m&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

This never happens because politics is tied up with social justice, racism, gender issues, AOC, Russia, Ukraine, Covid, etc.

Sometimes telling people they have a severe case of TDS and they should take Fuckitol helps.

I blame the government creating debts and trade deficits. This allows foreign companies to buy up the ports.

The hardest day I worked in my life was splitting wood for 12 hours straight. Logs so big two guys have to push them up the ramp of the splitter. I hate it when it bounces back and have to restart splitting again. I want a pointed blade with 4 edges which quickly widens. I don't waste...

The reason they don't want you to net meter is because it breaks their control paradigm. The biggest billboard propaganda is the one listing the gas price. So gas price will always be low. This control messes up everything else, including solar panels. Suppose gas price is so low that you...

Instead of dismantling and go out of business, they charge you to stay in business. This simple fact is somehow being debated endlessly. At first they oppose net metering because people draw power when there's no sun because they built up credits during sunny hours. They say the power...

I used to shave clean but then one day I got lazy and kept being lazy. Now I have a beard and mustache. I justify earning this saying I gained wisdom. I observed trees and I pointed it to my friend and said nobody takes care of them yet they thrive and grow so big and strong. He said but...

Please see my post just above your post and let the linemen issue die a sudden death. The data supports my assertion that linemen assumes live wires.

Mad respect, elite level

I just installed the windows A/C unit in reverse and it puts out a lot of heat. Bro on YT actually measured it against a resistive heater and it beats by a mile. My unit heats up very quickly and puts out a lot of heat. I have plenty of solar and the room is small so this is a good enough...

Yeah use a contactor (ABB) with interlock - only one input at a time, either grid, or PV system, never both at the same time. https://solarsite22.bravesites.com/index

Trump's germophobia was used against him with devastating effects. Many of his followers just gone

This is why we need a fix it group We have wizards here. It could be cheaper to fix than shipping back etc

My chickens are inbred and because they don't need to drive or install solar inverters, they do just fine laying eggs.

I'm wondering why you're alive and kicking. I mean it's a good thing. Susan Wojcicki censored herself to the grave. Some people are determined. The lack of Covid hoax information on YT took many lives, including her own. Personally, I know 4 people died of the vaxx. Over a dozen maimed.

Aluminum foil with thermal paste if you're only mildly motivated.

It's political and the union bros can just walk slower if the Reagan solution is applied. Biden using this to get votes so he's not going to do it

Is the R410A refrigerant phase-out a hoax. It causes depletion of the ozone layer but the reason it's harmful because it's has a high GWP. But we're told carbon is associated with Climate Change (don't say Global Warming, they'll hate you). Why is R410A having a GWP instead of GCCP for...

I wasted a bunch of money on wind turbines because I thought I knew better than everyone else. I drive past those toy windmills and it seems they're always spinning. I thought because it's closer to the ground and the wind is channeled there. I mounted mine close to the ground but the leaves...

Don't mount vertically, the bottom cell will be squashed.

I can go through periods of months when I don't do anything because "there are too many things, and I never get them done." I changed that with "even 10 minutes of work is progress". Just work out slightly, jog, and take NMNH. You'll get so much energy, you're ready to do 2nd, and 3rd...

My point is Elon Musk is a liar because his rockets can't fly in vacuum of space. Newton 3rd law doesn't work there so there's no pushing behind the rocket in order for it to go forward. Our educated fanboys either don't think or just slurp up everything Elon puts out.

Instead of individual nuts, you should put a rectangular flat washer with holes drilled in it. This way Alaskan earthquake won't shake them lose individually. If you lose one, the rest goes like dominoes. Can't these noobs do anything right? :)

For next project, leave 4" between each 4 panels for the wind to go through.

You need the ones with hole not the open ended ones which can falls off. If you have temperature variation it could do that.

I think my friend just bought this car too

You're guilty as "charged" but my bros in Alabama have batteries and they don't draw anything from the draconian grid. I don't know why they're doing this to bros with solar panels. The power companies will not be able to meet the demand of all those electric cars. :)

Linemen safety is so outdated but it will be with us for a long time. Any lineman who relies on proper working of the inverters in his vicinity is a bad worker. Linemen are trained to assume live wires. When I was a volunteer firefighter, I was trained to assume live wires. The issue is...

Good catch

This is like solar bro version of Unabomber We need a new quantum diode that can gate quantum fluctuation and amplify it to move electrons. This way we can hide solar panels and the government can't tax it.

#1 is food. Everything will go up. Trucking food from the West coast to East is going to be expensive and slow and there are no spare trucking capacity. Plus trucks are not going to move as much food. Trucks also clog up the highways.

Open circuit voltage STC and/or NMOT both are below 40V. He said 40 because that's the ballpark number for most panels.

Let's hope this doesn't escalate to nuclear exchange but it seems signature solar bros/sis are the aggressors here with the launch of Long range missiles gridBOSS and flexBOSS

For many people, the immune system is fully subscribed and with 4 billions or 4 trillion cells (take your pic) there are always cancerous cells. The immune system keep them in check. In a real battlefield, if you concentrate your troops in one sector, you leave other fronts undefended. This...

Then I feel lucky because I have 2 12K. I read elsewhere that one can save about $9/year going 240V vs 110V in line resistance.

They do have JK and JBD BMS listed on their website. Mine come with Titanpower BMS. There's very little info out there about this brand. ProjectForEveryDave on Youtube had no problem talking to his Victron inverters.

I'm guessing B and C are just two sides of the batteries, the BMS goes in the middle of the cells. See a different installation and type of BMS, page 12. B- means connect to negative post. The link belows showing BMS going to + and equalizer go to -...

I did a lot of math and failed advanced calc. But I just learned the meaning of quadratic. I wrote frequently but didn't bother to know its meaning.

Two BasenGreen 48V 314Ah installed tonight in parallel with 3x64V 100AH EG4 LL 18kPV BMS is "Titanpower". Haven't attempted to have closed loop comm with 18kPV yet. Active balancing, working great, installation was not bad. Very heavy, three guys moving them into place.

220V 200Amps for modern homes. 3 phases carry more power than one phase (common). I can not argue with my friend who insists 3-phases are for big motors. It isn't. It's just for anything that demands more power, big motors included. Normally the power comes in two wires with 220V with...

Funny you straw grabbed OSHA OSHA had a vaxx mandate which a federal judge in FL rescinded. You're saying as a solar bro, I can do many things solar which puts me in the 95 percentile and I could do this all thanks to OSHA? Your insult is problematic. It only works if information is also...

I have the Chinese STIHL killer I got off eBay $100

Guys read first post

Mine worked in subzero temps too. Puts out 100F no problem. I have 12K EG4 hybrid systems. People say it's less efficient than other means but I think it's all the same. When temps go low, _ALL_ systems become less efficient. 410A boils at -55F so it can get heat from air but less...

Brah, looking at how vicious humanity is, I would think the fake nukes would'd flew a long time ago. I just saw something about the Spanish Flu, it was almost identical to the CONvid bra. Long after you and I are gone, the CONvid will be back in about 30 years. Those doods in charge know the...

I'm guessing for troubleshooting one starts with general problems with inverter - that they generate heat. Then look at that huge heat sink Turn it on, walk away Then point the thermometer at that heat sink, if it's cold (oops somebody is not alive, stone cold dead) Smell the transistors Poke...

It's just an attempt to be funny.

Sorry for hijacking the green sign means little green men are here giving me free electricity directly from panels Very pleasing to look at

Can easily survive a 1 MT nuclear blast. I prefer 1" 10ft steel electrical conduits myself. They're cheap, light, strong, straight, and easy to work with using U-bolts, straight bolts, and self tapping screws.

Money shouldn't always be the only consideration. $77*200 = 15k That's for a 4KW system - when producing - keeps charging the batteries. If it lasts 10 years, it's worth it to me. Some will fail but others continue to work. I just need to wait until the summer when I can work on...

I swapped BMS and the problem persists. I isolated it to the PCB1 rail. I wonder if I can just run a straight wires for those two wires - 5,6

Arriving early than the 15th and shipped yesterday Should be coming in a day or 2 I'm hoping they're JK BMS. I see comments on Youtube saying they are. If they're JK BMS then I'll buy more JK BMS and rip those from EG4-LL out and install them. This way everything will be JK BMS with...

Sorry, I should'd searched the forum for answers. I'm a bit lazy here. It's because I bought this a while ago and I have a need to deploy it soon. I'm reading on the specs and it seems to do what the 18kPV does but Growatt doesn't realize or doesn't have the language to put the "hybrid"...

I like the EG4 for the DIY connections. The flare connections for other mini splits seem very fragile in comparison. Do you want to try the R-32 CostWay on eBay. I saw some calculation saying you could save $9/year using 240V vs 110V. Add this to the efficiency of R-32 over 410A and you could...

Nah bro, cuz NUCS is fake.

I used to be a germaphobe until I saw how Fauci played into Trump's germaphobia. If you're a germaphobe then you're going to be played. Please don't continue the political point I put up. I'm just putting there to impress you all. But I plan to turn off my freezers and salt my meat. As...

Hello Friends, I connected my laptop to the unit using RS485A and it shows two cells having overvoltage. The unit doesn't stay on and it sits on Alarm status. I checked individual cells and they're 3.29 or 3.28V (after I disconnected everything). Any help here appreciated.

Time to call this fake news brah. Back in the 80s there was this dude Lyndon Larouche and he was very very very very sure nukes would be going off every single day. If you have to go back further, it was the Cuban missile crisis. Interest in Nukes are going down again, just do Google Trends...

Forgive me if I change the topic too much. You need to hire someone to design you a contactor solution - ABB and others. Buy a cheap ATS from Amazon (Will covered this in one of his videos) and switch to grid when your batteries are low. This contactor has an interlock and only grid or solar...

I think your battery comm is lying to you because my 18kPV was happy with whatever comm cable I used. I'd switch your battery to lead acid. I have unresolved Lithium / Lithium_0 comm issue and lead acid has been working for a couple of days now. For the record, while troubleshooting Lithium...

I have EG4-LL batteries and BasenGreen (just realized this is not cool). Can I just buy the same BMS used in EG4-LL and it would work? I think I'll just forfeit my EG4-LL warranty and replace with JK BMS. It's only 15Kwh, I have 32Kwh coming Monday. There's a lot of complaints about JK so...

Remember the fake plandemic? People falling off dead in China? Bros died of moto accident was listed as dying of Covid. I drove to hospital parking lot and there was nobody. Everyone drove to the hospital parking lots and there was nobody. The only thing nukes does is to move the stock...

Respectfully I think you're too invested in this to entertain the idea that nukes is fake. Similarly the massive amount of literature and multimedia on COVID ensures it's fact. And cancer from vaxxx can just be blamed on numerous things Then we just move on endlessly talking about micro plastic...

Yeah, what about people talking about batteries in term of Ah? At what voltage? How about 110 or 120? 220 or 240?

I'm happy that I finally found my niche for volunteering. I'm going to be a solar/heat pump installer and insulation guy. This way my volunteering can be worth thousands when that heat pump puts out toasty air in the winter. This means only those people who can afford the equipment will get...

How much per 314 Ah from Amy? My complete build from basengreen.com is 12c/watthour. The case comes with active balancing 2A and "Titanpower" BMS. I haven't tried to have closed loop comm with the 18kPV but it works connecting to the laptop just fine and allowed me to change setting to 314Ah...

Where are you thinking buying from next? I think I still want Basengreen cases and get the batteries elsewhere. I hear about Amy Wan (search forum for her) but I don't think her store has 314Ah batteries right now. Two of my DIY Basengreen have been working for a few days now. I guess...

You should be able to get AC coupling even with grid. This is in the manual Chapter 2, figure B. This is how you let the 18kPV control the whole thing, making the existing PV installation just a part of it. The 18kPV in the center.

So I built two of these and this is the torque wrench I used. https://www.basengreen.com/product/diy-case-for-48v-battery-packenclosure-accessories-usa/ It works great, 32KWh on 5th charging/discharging cycles now. Sunny out, gonna top off again in an hour or so. Oops, also forgot about...

Well that sucks. Maybe replace all BMS with a brand that works. I'm on open loop comm too. I got tired of trying to get 18kPV to talk to my EG4-LL

I don't understand lightning strikes. I suspect most anti-lightning are for feel-good. When I see a 4ft tree cut off clean and smoldering, I don't think any copper pipe is big enough to absorb that kind of energy. You may be able to handle smaller lightning so I guess it's not futile. My...

How do I make the default temperature for the remote at 90F? Every time I turn it on it's at 69F. I seem to recall it was default at a higher temp.

Bro I think you'll be here tomorrow because Pootin didn't launch the fake nukes. Trust me on this.

U hatin' brah? I'm still here so I guess POOTIN hasn't launched his fake nukes. Alex Jones said he will launch "before Christmas"

Did u set to lead acid? My Lithium / lithium_0 wasn't communicating and no load and 9KW panels showed 0W

I know this works but how does it works? How does the power from the microinverters push back electrons from grid power?

Bros Alex Jones is now saying Pootin to nuke us with fake nukes by Christmas! This is now like fusion energy, always a few years, months or weeks away.

Brahs A huge thanks to POOTIN for not launching the fake news. Interest in fake NOOKS is low on Google Trends. If it goes back to the Cuban Missile Crisis, I bet it would be off the charts like my contracts for $GME. I wish I know you so I can bring you scrambled eggs, bacon, and coffee...

So your batteries don't have an LCD showing state of charge?

Just go to hardware store, you'll see them, the end tabs with holes. For rectangular washers, I saw metal rolls with holes in them. They're soft but you could stack them up for added strength.

I believe your circuit is only partial representation of reality. You treated it as a an ideal case. Reality is the B field from the primary coil "pushes" against the one on the secondary. This is significant because the setup is a transformer...

Brah, you're another one who accepted that the Convid is real from the voluminous scientific and popular culture material out there. It was the repeat of the Spanish Flu and it will repeat after 30 years or so when dooods gain complete control of the information space. Wish I know you so I can...

Does a DC-DC voltage converter help?

You have this phase converter? I think throwing away 1/3 of power is a waste. I would think this device should delay phases and make all three phases lined up, with more power.

I'll never figure out closed loop comm. I don't have any hair left on my head to pull. I tried all combinations even facing North at 12 degrees while the planets align. I'm happy with lead acid.

One word "Quantumscape" Will blow this thing out of water

I wish I resisted Gen Z communication technology. Watching videos gets me up running quickly but it changed my mind in some unknown fundamental ways. I used to just read the PDF's, thousands of pages. I'm going to download solar videos and listen to it in my car instead of musics. I'm...

Very cool, appreciate the information very much. I have no hair left on my head to pull trying to get EG4-LL to talk to 18kPV. I don't care about WiFi. I'm not putting any of my stuff on network. I'm smarter than Hezbollah and in the future my smartphones will be inspected before I use...

After running for almost a year, I now have no comm. So I switched to lead acid and it's charging so this makes me happy. I'm not sure of the long term harmful side effect of doing this but at least I know inverter and batteries are fine. I wish they could design a board and software to be...

Why do you have GWP all over your posting? Haven't you got the memo that saying global warming is frown upon and make you a climate denier? The reason you can not say global warming because when there's no ice, ah hah! climate change is getting really bad, we're burning up alive. When the ice...

The more layers you add, the more inefficient it becomes: "So that you get 200W from the first layer, The third layer having 640W to work from would then capture 128W"
