OK Update, this has been a long process when doing it alone, and working full time etc. I got everything mounted and up and running,
20 455 watt panels on the roof facing south, 2 EG4 6548 inverters, and 4 EG4 lifepower batteries. I had to get a soft start for the HVAC, I have been reading...
I have a set of 3 of these batteries in a golf cart, one of them will not hold a charge, I can charge it to 13.7 volts and it drops to 9.9 after less than an hour. I messaged him on Ebay and have not heard back.

How can I check to see if the battery can be saved?

Thanks, I did make a typo, avg monthly is about 1500kwh.. I know that I cannot expect to be totally off grid, but perhaps have the solar run the HVAC, and a few other things, and be a standby for power outages. I thought I would be good with a diesel gen, but with all the craziness going on, the...
My system has been working fine for months, since install, now all of a sudden 5 out of 6 of my batteries are alarming out, they all read 51.2 volts, inverters are working fine shows charging. Batteries show only one green light, (25%) but the green RUN light flashes every 4 seconds and the...
Looks like I have a dead cell, voltage reading from the plug pins to the BMS are: 0 - 3.1v - 6.3v- 9.7v
Looks like I will have to replace the set with something better.
I switched over to grid power to charge the batteries and they were showing 54 volts this morning before I left for work, hopefully they will continue to charge and then swap over to solar when the sun gets on the panels. The system has been working hard lately with the heat here in the south...
I looked into solar about 16 years ago and it was prohibitively expensive, and all the installers seemed to be just selling loans, now with all the DIY stuff out there I have become interested again. I have a 4800 sq ft shop/hangar with 2000sq ft house above, we are out in the country, so we...
