  • Charging EF Delta Pros from 48V Batteries: How to ensure overcurrent protection?

    Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. Context: I have two Ecoflow Delta Pros that I connect to our house via the Double Voltage Hub (DVH) and a transfer switch. I'd like to charge my Ecoflow Delta Pros from my 48V server rack batteries using each Delta Pro's PV input (XTi 60 connector)...
  • Array Grounding and Components Grounding

    Hi all, I'm trying to wrap my head around grounding our PV componenents. Would appreciate your input on this. Context We're still connected to the electrical grid. At the moment, we only have a home battery backup, since I haven't installed the solar panels, yet. This panel-less system...
  • Transfer Switch / Subpanel Combo with at least 20 circuits

    Hi guys, I'm looking for a transfer switch / subpanel combo that provides more than the usual 8 - 12 circuits. I need at least 20 circuits. Context Currently, we're connecting our PV system to a GenerLink transfer switch which allows us to use all circuits. While not relevant to this thread...
  • Howto: Inverter AC out to NEMA L14-30 generator cable?

    Hi all! I'd like to learn how to connect a split phase inverter's AC out to a NEMA L14-30 generator inlet of my transfer switch. Context: At the moment, I'm running two EF Delta Pros in split phase mode via the DVH (double voltage hub). In this setup, the DVH replaces a 240V gas generator and...
  • Is it safe to run PV wire through PVC conduit in wet ground?

    Hi all, I tried finding similar discussions to my seemingly mundane question but couldn't find any. I want to add another ground mount array (I expect up to 500 VOC) and the only suitable place left on my property would require that I run PV wire (through PVC conduit) through wet ground. To be...
  • Need help regarding wire gauges

    Hi all! Could you help me out with this, please? Context: I've hooked up one of my three server rack batteries (48 V) to the PV inputs of my two EF Delta Pros to extend overall battery capacity. So far, this has been working well (please see attached diagram). Each Delta Pro is pulling around...
  • 8.5kW Transfer Switch with 9kW inverter - auto-cap at 8.5kW?

    Hi all! Context Currently, I'm hooking up my AIOs to my 8.5kW house transfer switch (GenerLink). This works just fine with the AIO's combined 7.2kW output. I plan on replacing the current AIOs with 3x 3kW AIOs to dramatically bump up the max PV voltage (from 150VDC to 500VDC) to be able to get...
  • Mixing SOK batteries with Jakiper batteries - doable?

    Hi all! Has anyone tried mixing SOK server rack batteries with Jakiper server rack batteries? I'm looking to expand my Jakiper 48V 100AH battery array, but haven't been able to find any for a few weeks, now. Can I just buy SOK batteries with the same specs and run them in parallel? James
