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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
