    you might can put the pump on a timer and have it only run during the day and not at night, but that may not solve your problem

  • Post in thread: trailer mounted system

    I agree to a point. It is for sale ,I just want to put the finishing touchs on it before letting it go. Being it's the 1st one ( not 1st one I made but for sale ) I want to make sure it's 100% and I don't expect it to sell right away in this market. And even though It is priced fair for what it...
  • Post in thread: weird issue with low battery the other night

    So I tested battery capacity today, I got 511 AH when the inverter shut down ( set to 10.7 volts ) and my DC loads were still going. I did add a Victron BP-100 and have it set to cut off at 10 volts but I'm going to bump that up to 10.5 next trip in the side box of the RV. So I did get more than...

  • Post in thread: trailer mounted system

    I've been load-testing it and this inverter is pretty impressive so far. I haven't loaded it to 100% but run it at 52% none stop for close to 2 hours. and its done well, of course, the weather here supports heat removal well

  • Post in thread: ANTI post. I am not selling anything. I want to prevent the big tech hoging my concept

    in the old days, part of the proof you came up with an idea was to mail it to yourself so you have a date stamped on it without showing anyone the idea ( like on here ) . but that's just what I believed back in the 80,s doesn't mean I was right then or now LOL

  • Post in thread: 5k growatt question

    well, I wish the maker of this transformer had more documentation available. Just found this video.. even tech support at signature solar had it wrong. I ask them could I not supply power N & L1 to get 240 output and they said no.. watch this video I found: " " ( copy paste the link did not...

  • Post in thread: Victron smart 30 BlueTooth networking

    this is what it looks like when under full charge : So I don't know if when the batteries are full is it disconnecting and showing some residual voltage on the panel side. makes no sense , either the panels work or they don't. they are name-brand panels also it didn't do this before syncing the...

  • Post in thread: Growatt 5kW Split Phase Transformer

    I just bought another one, but for selling items you basically will have more luck selling nd more people a chance to see it , because it gives the buyer payment protection incase the person that sells it doesn't send you what you paid for.. even more so when the person selling has a profile...

  • Post in thread: Is a buss bar needed for wiring batteries in series?

    from what I understand NO, but is desired. meaning if you are going to daisy chain them make sure they are all the same length and size. And at one end of the "Bank" has the pos lead coming off and on the other end have the Neg coming off. . But if you have a buss bar system it helps make sure...

  • Post in thread: 5k growatt question

    what if you are using a single phase 120 volt output generator? Can I run the 120-volt output of my generator into the transformer ( growatt ) and get 240 output ? ( like on the outback auto former 240-x )
  • Post in thread: 5k growatt question

    I figured that much, makes sense that your splitting your output over 2 legs. My concern was, after watching videos of this transformer, people using it to split a single 240 down to 120. I wanted to make sure that when I connect it to single-phase 120 it did not split it into 2 legs of 60...

    It's not that I didn't trust you. I was looking for someone to explain it I.E. = L1 is input 120 volt to transformer and N in N input to Neutral spot , then connect L2 from the transformer as one leg ( L2 ) and the L1 line as the other leg = 240 Then when I got tech support online and they...

    you don't need a fuse between batteries, but you should have one ( neg leg preferred ) leaving the batteries.

    BY the time I paid Amazon, with free shipping... it only ended up being about 150$ more for the Victron I am kind of partial to the Solar Edge, I like that it has a temperature sensor.
