Thanks, I saw that Will mentioned that in his video review of this product. But like he says solar panels are cheap. Living in Arizona there are plenty of new and used outlets for solar panels.

Thanks much for the input. The EG4 looks reasonable priced. This gives me a starting point. Now the budget and design. Like you said it doesn’t seem to difficult.

Not sure if this is the right spot but here it is. I am in the planning stages of bringing in 2 - 20 foot shipping containers to my property. One will be for storage with lights and a couple of outlets. The second will be for a small wood shop, most likely the largest load will be some type of...

I will find out on the 11th, but I believe this is a closed loop system and no pump. Something similar to the attached diagram.

Relief valves (safety valve) on hot water tanks are a must as if the relief is plugged or fails the results are catastrophic. All tank hot water heaters come with a relief valve. I have never had a home with an expansion tank on the domestic hot water Supply, only on a home with a hot water...

"Why do you think you need an expansion tank on the system?" Don't know hence the question. I am unfamiliar with hot water solar and need to understand requirements and how they work. So it is just a simple question. But there also is a capped stub on the piping system that makes no sense. Hot...

Thanks, but as far as documentation the place is empty. Myself and the inspector did not see any electric or pumps to the solar water. Like I said in the opening I will just have to wait until closing for further details.

The wife and I are buying a house with passive hot water solar for domestic hot water. We have not closed so I don't have access to answer detail questions. The owner has passed so asking questions will not happen without a ouija board. I have a couple of photos and a drawing that I think...

Marion is a great guy I have bought batteries and solar panels from him. But what is more important than what he sells is his knowledge base. He is an expert in wind and solar installs across the globe.

This process takes a while to get thru. I just finished another week of a voltage increase to 14.1 on absorption. Still no rebooting issues. It will be at least another two weeks before I report back with new results. I need to make a trip without the RV so no changes until I get back. Just as...

Still going thru voltage increases waiting to find the failure point. Up to 14.0 Absorption, Float still 13.6. No issues at these settings.

The first two tests are positive. Meaning that the Multiplus-II did not shut down during the Bulk, Absorption and float cycles based on the settings recommended above. Base on Sunshines suggestion I will start to increase and see what happens. One more question. How hot should the Multiplus-II...

Today I have the opportunity to load up the batteries and drain them down. First is to test the adjustments made the other day and see what if anything changes. One step at a time. If I change too many things at once I won't know what made the change.

What device is reporting % SoC? Victron 500 AMP bluetooth Shunt. I will start tomorrow with the test of your recommended setting. I just changed to them. What is the charge amp setting on the Multiplus? 120 AMPS Once the bulk and absorption cycles are complete the unit does not reboot...

I am having issues with my Multiplus-II 12 3000 120-50 2x120v randomly rebooting. The system 50amp shore power, Onan marquis gold 5500 generator, no solar, 4 - 100 ah lithium batteries. The typically scenario for the random reboot, regardless of power source, 50amp, 30amp or generator. After...
