I ordered over a grand from one of the big 3 solar warehouses in Cal. I paid a stupid 340$ for shipping but thats American larceny. They call back and run that lame fishing scam about the truck might not have a lift gate and how I might have to pay all over again if the driver didn't want to...

yikes

I need a another inside small pump for my water system. Its job is easy...to be mounted at the bottom outlet of a 150 ga plastic tank and push water about 7 ft to the pressure tank and fill the pressure tank. The PT is standard size. I would use a pressure switch on it to turn it off and...

Most newer lipos ship at 30 %,no? If you get one but don't have a stand alone lithium capable charger can you just let the solar panels do the first charge before you adjust the battery monitor...? cheers..

so with a LiFePo and 12v I need a classT between the battery and the inverter, and nearer the battery..yes??

good sign. prices coming down. Will, we need a breakdown review on these... but can you do series on these???

to thaw a long freeze plug which could be 2-25 ft/ long, maybe more, in a 1 inch poly underground water line. I have been doing the water flush thing but no luck so far... I am afraid when it thaws naturally in April/May it might pop the pipe. Digging a new line would be a big money hit... I...

I was going to post a question in the testing sub forum but I will do it here.. the bench ps I got was a Longwei K3010 or 305D model..I don't know anything about them but got one...They have CV or CC and a light goes on to tell you which its on. Its not easy to figure out. I can set a CV with...

I canceled that and got the newer Noco 2 amp that does LiFe Po....whatever..

ordered 100 amp fuses.thanks

another thing.....I might move the water line completely this summer to avoid this trouble again. I would dig an 7 ft deep trench about 65 ft straight. I would prefer to get a jack hammer and do it by hand. Backhoes are 100$ an hour now.Ridiculous. It would go under a footing at one point but...

I woke up to a bone dead battery. The BMS apparently shut down. It has been getting plenty of solar and the smarthsunt did not indicate a problem. There is either a defect or I was always at a very low amps state and the battery never really got maxed out to start its life properly 5 weeks ago...

can anyone recommend a nice sounding internet radio with ethernet port and USB play also...? I see the Roberts company but they seem out of business...

I have had frozen water line 5 ft underground for last 7 weeks.I was away 2 months and it froze .Its possible the ground around the line froze to 5 ft thick on all sides due to drainage.So it might be a barrel of earth ice 7-10 ft thick.Pipe in the middle.But who knows. .Brutal winter...

I watch a lot of YT videos since our rural area got fiber optic over a year ago.Never watched a video before then. Anyway both Will Prouse and Lithium Solar have reviewed Ampere Time LiFePo 12v 200ah which is now about 550$. I wonder why anyone would pay that much for 100 ah LiFePo from the...

Anyone know where Aims inverters are made?

I saw the promising work being done with Thorium reactor/batteries on a Tesla type channel on YouTube. They seemed to say that a sodium/Thorium reactor battery outputs DC current...?? or does it still need to do a steam system and generator...? They were talking about small reactors that would...

Yes , if clouds kept changing the internals of the inverter, the it would be impractical ,the EV charger might react and reset and the whole thing would just keep resetting and shutting off and restarting...and maybe burn out. So a constant is needed I guess... so maybe the best device will be a...

any good deals right now on a 24v inverter?? It would be temporary so I don't need another Victron...

The YT video on Wills channel says that you can use this 1299$ unit as an un interrupt. power supply.......what does that mean exactly? That you could run straight AC from it ???and do it without a grid tie connection,,,that would be very useful for EV charging if you didn't want to do a grid...

I am still waiting for ACH withdraws to clear....major money...big banks are playing chickenshit games cause of pressure from the SEC...they are holding up dispersals...But Binance US was a legal business in the US and the banks ACH agreements were legal and standard for the industry..they...

I need some 1 inch inside diameter, clear hose ,about 4 ft. It must be strong but ok for house drinking water...there are many options online but its unclear if your getting food grade which I need... any ideas or info on this??

Hi, Did Will Prouse start out wiring an RV..? is that where he learned his stuff??Did he live in one? I am looking at helping a full time RVr in my family redo some of the cheap 12v system that they typically come with..

my KID controller has absorb and float only. The bulk/absorb is 14.5v for 3 minutes. Then float at 13.6v. You think I should set the SS at 14.3...????? sounds funny...the booklet that came with the SS says 13.2.....is this the kind of info you get when you buy a 140$ shunt? Cause I wish I had...

Anyone selling used or a few new extras around Idaho Falls or Butte MT?300+ watts

Need new or used panels in the general area. There must be some around. Or if you are within 500 miles maybe we can work out a shipping deal for a few.Flexible.

thought I did.....KID?Midnite Solar 30 amp controller.. 315 watt panels. 37voc

I got the Kaiweet 206D and it will capture MAX amps for viewing.. like when you start an engine...

you can run 2 inverters on 1 batt bank. Its done all the time. Use a quality 48v DC switch like those Blue Sea switches. The Chinese all in 1 inverters are nice price but you pay in other ways.....will get better in the future..

I got the Longwei today as I always wanted a bench PS. But do I really need it? I don't know but I got it now... for someone who hasn't used one what can I experiment with on it to familiarize its features to me?? I want to get good with it so it will be useful..
