I'm not an electrician and really don't feel comfortable giving more details here. It feels kinda irresponsible. My current set up is... Actual grid connection (no more gene.), battery bank, panels and a single ng bond in the panel at the power pole coming from the grid. After adding the...

No, long gone. I'll update the post

Nice. It'd be really cool to reverse engineer the communication it's doing and create an open source project for the server...

I haven't had trouble with it reconnecting. But, I have had trouble with their service. It's flaky and will give the appearance that your device isn't online. ...actually, the app shows its offline now. Though all my other devices are

I'm having trouble picturing this

Did you replace the fets that are unavailable?

I have some left over 2x2 steel tubing that I could use for stand offs.

Thanks for the pro-tip. I'll ship around

Hey peeps, I have 20 t250 panels on make shift "ground mounts"... scrap lumber, rocks, laying on the ground. It's time to get them moved up to my rain collection roof for a variety of reasons - pv production, safety being the top two. My rain roof is 20×30' and only about a 4-5 degree...

I'm not saying that it's not an issue, in general. it is. But, that isn't causing my fault code 8 problems this time. ...though, it has in the past. When I checked my data records for all the bms units (stored in Blynk) none of them were hitting hvc for any of fault and shutoff...

all the n-g bonds that I'm referring to are external to the unit. They're in breaker boxes. I didn't touch anything in the unit. I don't think I'll have time to do a diagram and I've already left the ranch (where the system is). if I do get time, I'll post it here.

[SOLVED] not battery related - I assumed it was a battery v spike issue for historical reasons. it was n-g bond related details in my inverter review thread: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/sungold-split-phase-6k-hybrid-inverter-scc-review.36334/post-533456

Instead of rehashing all the weird stuff I've experienced with this inverter (lvx6048), here's my final message back to sun gold support. ----- MY LAST QUESTION TO SUNGOLD: How should someone set up n-g bonding on this unit? My grid connection is 240v split phase and has an n-g bond at...

Sungold hybrid 240 split phase 6wk. It's the exact same as the lvx6048 that mpp and the others sell. Maybe a more expensive scc would ramp down, but this one doesn't. It just faults with code 8. According to sungold support, it's caused by voltage spike on battery. The BMS "shouldn't" do...

regarding turning on/off the balancers; I think what I'd do is add a relay to my esp32 based monitors that are on the bms's now. it'd be a simple add-on and simple code mod.
