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.

Nothing wrong code-wise with a DPDT switch, it is UL listed. You can't use regular light switches or "three-way" switches, both poles...

Regarding question 2: The installation manual will specify how many microinverters of that specific model number are allowed on a single...

Microinverters do not store energy they produce AC and send it out, either to the grid or batteries or both. For example Enphase makes a...

Yes, but in parallel, if the minimum MPPT start up voltage is not reached there will be 0 output.

I would disconnect the AC output of the inverter and power it up. If no faults, measure voltage at output terminals to verify. If the...

Roger that- so it’s a viable bandaid that puts me at 25% capacity - unless I can create an expedited shopping scenario on the...

One of the properties of LFP chemistry is its very flat voltage vs. SoC curve between 10% and 90% SoC. So the smaller capacity will not...

It depends if the batteries you are comparing are the same chemistry, LiFePO4 vs. Li-ion. With LFP batteries they vary by manufacturer...

You can mount them any way you want. Do keep in mind that the FETS get warm and so you want to ensure that it has a certain amount of...

As to the other question, "Solar Wizard" and other various titles are something that are assigned by the forum administrators just for...
