    Anyone have any experience in Solar DIY in New York State? I see bad things on the horizon....

    Getting rid of bill gates microchhip wasn’t too hard and I now have a custom felt lined tin foil hat

    More importantly is why we arrived at a place where one can think one can earn money by generating ekectricity.

    Loads and battery on common DC bus from SCC.

    As more solar power is available then an DCc assuming the load can take it will automatically supply more current. It doesn’t necessarily need to raise volyage to do that as typically battery resistance is so low that simply more current can be delivered anyway. Without any need to raise...

    Loads and battery on common DC bus from SCC.

    Not true once the terminal voltage is more positive then the battery voltage current flow as a function of equivalent resistance which is a function of chemistry. In the case of lithium a small difference in voltage can result in big currents flowing. In many cases the lithium can be viewed as...

    Need help/advise before purchasing a Victron Energy Smart Sense battery voltage and temperature monitor.

    Victron Bluetooth range can be poor on my boat theSCC struggles beyond 2 metres. It’s a suck it and see

    Beginning a Victron ESS for self consumption - correctly rated fuses and cables?

    Should be no need for the earth rod if incoming neutral is bonded to earth.

    could I really build an ecoflow delta pro alternative, need an interim off-grid 240v system in the UK/Ireland

    For off grid in Ireland you could buy the stuff on Amazon and away you go. Be aware it’s illegal to touch the distribution panel wiring but hey no one’s looking. This assumes non grid tie

    SunGoldPower Low Frequency Inverter UL1741

    Given an auto transformer is not isolated and given a NG bond at the panel I would not expect to the output neutral of thd auto T to be again bonded to earth.

    Boater, aiming to build safe and stable 12V consumer Powerbank for boat.

    No thete is no problem with LFp starting engines. The primary issue is most bms are not set up to support high current short time transfers it needs a specialised bms thst can manage the start current. The lithium is a. Ideal starter battery

    Boater, aiming to build safe and stable 12V consumer Powerbank for boat.

    My own LFp boat project is to create 3x100Ah LFp batteries. These will not only replace the domestic but akso the LA starter battery. The bms are my own design and thd system is designed to degrade to 2x or 1x LFp battery The removal of any lead simplifies the charging regime considerably...

    That’s not taxation

    Newbie from Portugal building a house :)

    Many European countries are now providing cash supplements to cover rising energy costs on the basis this is temporary. For 2022 to mid 2023 I have received €980 euros in electricity credits. There is no evidence taxation will “ rocket “ in most EU economies. That’s just alarmist.

    Solid state relay for inverter

    The answer is in general the combination is fine SsRs need to be rated conservatively and need to have the heat conduction ability to handle normal loads. Heat is the enemy here But technically yes it will work but clearly you need to decide to switch via dc or ac
