    BMS for Tesla

    Can you offer more specifics on which 8S BMS can be configured for use with 6S? I'm looking for a 6S Li-Ion BMS in the neighborhood of 250 amps but I can't find any on the market. My Tesla's didn't come with the Tesla BMS attached but it has a 6S balance lead pigtail in its place. The $2,500...

    Don't buy these, they are garbage!

    If you don't mind me asking, what are your reasons for not mounting on a house? Just curious because I'm wrestling with the decision of whether to mount panels on the roof or build a ground mount. Are there code or legal issues that needs to be addressed for house mount that isn't required for...

    Can someone check my 400w Setup?

    Bob - Wow! That's a great thread full of good info. Thanks for pointing me in that direction. One thing I learned (but not the only one by a long shot) is to buy a name brand circuit breaker instead of a knockoff.

    Can someone check my 400w Setup?

    Your input is certainly worth more than a tuppence. It is not only educational but much appreciated. I'm weighing the option to use this style of circuit breaker to be used between the battery and the charge controller/inverter instead of fuses. It is one of the recommended parts from Will's...

    Can someone check my 400w Setup?

    Hope this won't hijack OP's thread but I wanted to piggy back on this subject with a question of my own. Why are most Diy solar systems, at least the ones I've seen, use fuses instead of circuit breakers? I'm in the process of designing my system and leaning towards circuit breakers because...
