  • LVX6048 Battery Terminal

    This happened last year, but I finally got around to disassembling my burned out LVX6048. It looks like it was a bad soldering job that caused this issue, but I think the battery terminal design is just poorly designed. There is a little daughter board that the battery cables connect to, and...
  • Combiner box?

    Just starting out with solar and have so many questions. I have been reading as much as I can and looking for similar setups to emulate, but coming up short on a few questions. I am building a small setup to power my garage off grid with x9 250w panels on the roof feeding a 24V Hybrid LV2424...
  • Solar for a new house

    Been playing around with ideas for my (soon to be built?) house. I think I am close on the plan, but the components are still up in the air. Not sure if I can get Growatt grid tie approved with my provider. Any comments welcome. The main grid tied panel will be non-essentials, and the two sub...
  • BYD 24v battery packs

    I know these are long gone for the most part, but if you happen to have some and are still looking for a solution to the terminals, here is what I did. I got this idea directly from this video, I just took it a little bit further. I started out by striping the heatsinks off the top and...
  • 102%

    Kind of silly, but I was nerding out on Solar Assistant today and for a brief moment my EG4 6000EX hit 6kW from my 5.85kW (x18 325w Jinko) array. :p
  • LVX6048WP?

    Is this AIO a unicorn? The only info I can find is a data sheet. It seems to check all the right boxes for me, but I can find any real-world info on it.
  • Resource for average power consumption for common household items?

    I did a search and didn't find much. Does anyone have a good resource for power consumption of items like electric stoves, heaters, heat pumps, etc.? I have all natural gas items right now, so I can't just throw a watt meter on them. Trying to fill out a theoretical energy audit for my next...
  • Solar panel configuration?

    Probably over thinking this, but here is my situation. Solar on the roof will be 3 rows of 15 panels. I need 5 series of 9 panels. Roof is 26 degrees facing southwest (210 degrees) and there are no shading issues between 9am-5pm (so effectively no shade at all). Simple XR100 iron ridge setup...
  • Source for an inexpensive wire trough?

    Anyone have any leads on some inexpensive wireway troughs? 4x4 would probably be plenty big enough, but I need about 12 feet of it.
  • Running two AIO on a single battery setup?

    So finally getting ready to pull the trigger on the battery for my setup. I was toying with DIY cells, but I am probably going to cave and get a 6 unit server rack battery (~30kwh). My setup is two LVX6048s, each feeding a separate sub panel. They are both hooked up to the main panel for AC...
  • LVX6048 not showing correct battery voltage?

    Anyone know which control board monitors the battery voltage inside the LVX6048? Not sure if I caused it, but after hooking the Lifepower comm hub to test, the battery voltage is all over the place (-2 to +6v). I unhooked the hub to see if that would fix it, but no luck. Right now, my voltage...
