  • Post in thread: Looking for a good AC panel for my semi trailer off grid RV.

    I’m looking for more of a RV off grid AC panel or a combo AC/DC panel for my off grid RV Semi trailer. House panels from Home Depot run about 5 inches deep. I hoping to find in a 2 x 3 framed wall. Will have 220 breakers for charging electric car and dryer. So I was looking for a 200amp panel...

    Thank you for all that information. Very informative.
  • Post in thread: Semi trailer complete off grid with micro inverters

    I’m building a tiny house from a refridge semi trailer. Getting ready for plumbing/electrical. I got a great deal on 22 used solar panels total of 6500 watts. But some 350, most 300, and some 250. I also will have shade issues. I’m interested in micro inverters but mostly see them in set ups...

    Anyone know where to get a 12v 200a BMS for lithium
  • Post in thread: Semi trailer complete off grid with micro inverters

    So looks into these. I see TS4 A F. And some TS4 R F. Another thing to figure out. What’s life of these? I Found some open box R F
  • Post in thread: Upgrade Van from 12v to 48 help

    Definitely expect to take a bit to charge the 48 volt battery bank. Probably looking to add a panel or two message depending on my roof space. I’ll look into your suggestions. Thank you
  • Post in thread: Oops!! 24v to 12v converter fire

    recently I needed more amp hours in my van. I had three of the 12v valence batteries. My system has the 12v 3000 watt pure sign inverter, 4 100w solar panels, a 50am Renogy DC to DC with MPPT. This system worked fine but I run the inverter 100% for a small energy efficient AC fridge, and my...
  • Post in thread: Battery Bank/BmS issues questions

    I have 16 of the LifePo4 100amp 3.2 volt cells hooked up to give me 400 amp hours at 12volts. I use the 120a 12v 4s BMS from overkill. I also have a 3000 pure with 6000 surge inverter. Everything works well until 1. I start pulling around 1500-1600 watts. The BMS shuts batteries off. 2. If I go...

    6500 watts to start.
  • Post in thread: BMS readings

    I got my Van battery bank going pretty good. I have eight PO4 100amp hour batteries, two in series and than the four banks parallel. Hooked up my 4 bank BMS with phone app. It works good. I am thinking it should say 800AH but it says 100AH? I am thinking off adding another eight batteries as I...
  • Post in thread: BMS readings

    So this may seem really obvious, I see that on the BMS app I can go in and change the AH from 100 to 200. Would that make the batteries last twice as long. I was thinking the batteries where at 25% because of the app, not because they stopped working. Or to double the batteries life (AH). Do I...
  • Post in thread: Micro Inverter/ optimizer or combiner box

    Going to be installing my huge semi off grid solar panel soon. I am definitely going to be dealing with shading issues. I all ready have two EG4 6500 inverter chargers. So I feel using micro inverter would leave the Pv inputs empty. So possibly I’d be using the optimizers. Just started seeing...
  • Post in thread: Oops!! 24v to 12v converter fire

    Yes, I have two circuit fuse breakers. One between alternator and system and one between systems Snd inverter
  • Post in thread: Oops!! 24v to 12v converter fire

    Would I need two new 12 volt BMS’s? I was think splitting the bank in have and parallel the two twelve banks. I just wasn’t sure about the BMS
  • Post in thread: Upgrade Van from 12v to 48 help

    My 12v 3000w inverter went out. I decided to upgrade to two EG4 LL 48v 100ah batteries with the EG4 3000 charge Inverter and plan on charging my Leaf from it. (That’s why I went so big). A few issues I’m having and any suggestions greatly appreciated. The charge inverter requires 45v to...
  • Post in thread: EG4 6500ex inverter mounting

    I am interested in mounting these underneath a semi trailer I’m converting to an RV. Want to put them either flat in a large ventilated compartment. Asked signature Solar if this would be okay. Answer was follow installation instructions in manual. Manual says on a non combustible wall, and...
  • Post in thread: Micro Inverter/ optimizer or combiner box

    Solar panels going on semi trailer. And definitely going to have shade issues. Definitely seem like the optimizers would be a great help for shade. Do I need a combiner box as well?
  • Post in thread: Semi trailer complete off grid with micro inverters

    Thanks for all this great information. Definitely explains why I couldn’t find many talking about micro inverters for off grid systems. Looks like I’ll need isolators. I’m stuck with location and we love the trees.
  • Post in thread: Micro Inverter/ optimizer or combiner box

    Thanks, The semi is going to be a RV basically I’m converting it. The layout I’m still working on, but wanted to figure out this optimizer and combiner box thing. I check out that thread thanks.
  • Post in thread: Micro Inverter/ optimizer or combiner box

    I have the two EG4 6500 and the big 300lbs 48 volt battery. 285 amp hours. Might up grade to two of those if needed.
