This might be an option What do you think of this?

Is there any options for diy batteries?

Thanks

Not sure, hopefully someone else can help with that. I have the JBD from overkill solar.

Well I got my 2 units installed last night, this morning I double checked everything and then fired them up. They seem to be working flawlessly, I just ran a load of laundry through the washer and had zero issues. My LVX6048'S power really gave my washing machine a problem. I had zero dimming of...

My 2 units arrived. Thank you @currentconnected. Merry Christmas to me!

Is there a way to build a water turbine to power this battery charger? The AC input is AC90-240V + 20% (see attachment) What components would I need to get the input voltage within this range? Would I need a dump load or cutoff switch if I went over or under the voltage? Any other info is...

My shipping label was created today! 2 units on the way.

Yes it will increase.

Just remember to allow for the coldest day of the year ever recorded in your area. Your voltage goes up the colder it gets.

I believe you can do it that way with this inverter. If you want to play it safe, you can run 4 into input 1, and 4 into input 2 for inverter1. Then on the 2nd inverter you can run 5 into input 1 and 5 into input 2.

If you have 2 mppt inputs per inverter then you can split up the 9 panels between the 2 inputs and you won't go over voltage. You would go over voltage if you ran all 9 panels in series to 1 input.

4s2p to one inverter 207v 22 amps 5s2p to the other inverter 260v 22amps I'm assuming your roof angle will not give you the optimum angle to get max PV production so the 22 amps figure will be higher than you will actually see and that is the short circuit value, not the actual value of 20.4...

What size capacitor would I need for mitigating power dips and spikes when larger loads start or stop? AC, stove, washing machine, etc.... Also my washing machine does not like the power output from a single LVX 6048, it does better when I run 2 in parallel but it is still not working properly...

Just wanted to say thanks to all that helped me through my journey into solar electric freedom. Today my system produced 27,280 watt hours before it filled my 1200ah 48v battery bank. I've been off the electric grid for a week now. I have 6.6kw of solar panels.
