Best packaging I have seen in years. Batteries are double boxed with foam inside the inner box. The cart is single boxed but has foam edge corners between the box and cart. It is held (screwed) to the pallet with an interesting steel bracket on each foot. No dents bumps or scrapes on anything...

This fuse arrived and box said 300A, but when I looked at the body of the fuse it says 200A. Returned When they issue the credit I will buy the Blue Sea fuse block with matching fuses in 300A

I'm just starting my second foray into solar system ownership. My original use was about 20 years ago with a small off grid system. It supplied about one 20a 115v circuit for a short time. I used it for an astronomy location. This time I plan to go grid-tie. I have bought a pallet of 370w panels...

Removing stickers from PVC fittings..... I bought a bunch of PVC fittings from Home Depot. As much as I tried, I could not get their labels off each of the fittings. The wife finally suggested trying a heat gun, and it worked. You have to experiment a little, but I found that heating the labels...

After reviewing the whole home backup diagram, I have come to realize this inverter is even more sophisticated than I originally thought. Which is even more than my original motivation to buy it. So theoretically a person could run some 3/0 directly from the meter to the Grid input of the 18k...

I found a piece of aluminum, left over from the machine shop, which I cut to fit. Now I just have to paint it and epoxy it in. We had snow this morning and the power and internet went down.

NAZ is having a sale and no sales tax, so I bought from them and will pick the package up on Monday.

I have probably 10 UPSs or so scattered around the house for computers, TVs and such.

Thanks

The array I planned (so far) to build is 8 columns and 4 rows. So I would put each row in series and combine them at the inverter? I'll have to look up what an MPPT tracker is. Thanks for your brain time! Greg

He used a "Rock Auger" which has a carbide pilot and the edge of the auger has carbide on it too. PS If you look closely you can see his front wheels are off the ground.

Huzzah!

Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Received shipment Feb 28. 2 Pallets.

Just ordered 6 batteries and cart. Feb 15, 2024

There is sort of a tool which might be used to determine this. On my weather station I have an optional measuring device which will tell you how much solar radiation you are receiving at any given moment. It tells you many Watts per Square Meter. you are receiving at your weather station. Today...

Just installing my new EG4 18kpv and need to find out about the breakers I need to buy for my panel. Where can I look for that?

Remove the $200 "docking fee" so would be customers can come and pick up the things you sell for free.

Yes

The first pole goes in. It is the reference pole which all other poles will be measured from. It goes 4' down into the hole and 8'9" up. This is the north side of the solar array. It took nine 80 lb bags of cement and 2 rocks to fill the hole. I don't think it will go anywhere. Next we put in...

I have 32 Solar Panels and I need help in figuring out how to plug them in to my Grid-Tie inverter. The panels are 370 watts each. Here is what their brochure says. The inverter is a Growatt 11.4kw Grid-Tie unit. Here is what it's brochure says. I need to figure out the wiring of the...

Just need to find a switch that is two position. On-Off-On

My experience is that SS ships pretty darn fast.....but if you try to return something, they are pretty darn slow. Now at two weeks to try to return an inverter.

This is getting really bizarre. There is a thing called a bottom line. It is the combination of at least 3 items, on any product you try to sell. If your bottom line is less than your competition, you will sell product. If your competition has a lower bottom line than you do, they will sell...

Same here in NM dealing with Socorro Electric Coop

I understand that the shutdown aspect is to protect linemen. I can't imagine that linemen can get out and start fixing things in 2 seconds. What's the big deal if it does (shut down backfeed) compliant with code? The problem is that these blips can destroy TVs and other delicate electronic...

So with that information I started looking at DC circuit breakers they are doubles so they can handle both positive and negative. They are 16amps and 500v ea, which should handle the four strings that are 10.9 amps and 328 volts each. To hold them I have found a metal "Din Rail box" which...

I'm thinking that the charge state would be whatever it is as shipped from Ruixu. Not sure what that is.

So if you don't have a battery the wires just fall out the bottom? Not what I would consider a conduit box.

I will and thanks for the suggestion. Once I figure out how to contact them, I will write to them.
