I also got 8 THHN, but I don't see in the manual what size breaker, I was thinking about just doing a 50 amp since they are good for 55 amps, is that what you did?
That's great info, I was planning on keeping the furnace just to use as a filtration system, we also have 7 air purifiers at work throughout the house as we have asthma/allergy issues.
I have a 1700 SQ FT house with 2 stories, our goal is to completely get rid of our furnace using Mini Splits and a wood burning stove. We live in West Virginia so it can get decently cold in the winter.
My questions are has anyone here got any experience with heating and cooling your entire...
I saw in Will's video that you need to flip the negative bus bar to get the battery to inverter connection on the bottom so it drains the batteries equally. Is that still a thing with the new versions?
I bought the kit from SS, and the only part that's missing is where I'd setup the 4 Midnite solar surge devices. I've seen people mount them on the side of the boxes, just looking for ideas and experience setting them up.
I'm going to be running the system as a seperate circuit in my house, I...
I'm having trouble understanding how much I can get out of my EP Ever 40 Amp Tracer, this is my first ever solar system and I have a 100W panel and looking to buy a battery/batteries that I can get the most out of this.
My goal is to learn what all it can power in a real life garage situation...
What's the best way to wire these together, would you wire the wallmount battery to the busbar on the rack or do you need another busbar to connect them?
Hey @EG4_Jared , the busbar doesn't have 10MM bolts on the bottom most slot, should the batteries be wired above the final 10MM or am I missing something?
That's very helpful actually! I am hoping to try the mini splits and see if they do enough, if not I'll eventually just run them off solar panels during the day to help lower costs. We are planning a wood burning stove similar to your situation with the blowers and "sump fans" to push the heat...
What's everyone doing for electric water heaters and electric stove?
I've seen mixed stuff on heat pump water heaters, and the stove is just a beast of consumption, even with a new energy efficient one air fry ect.
It seems I would need a 6000XP for each individual item here or a 18kPV for 2...
Can a 6000XP really provide enough power for someone using 1700KW a month? I'm doing the math and it seems it would work (minus any surges in usage), if I'm using 66.6 KW a day it's 2.77KW an hour.
I just got my 6000XP hooked up last weekend, it was just running on battery while I'm sitting at my desk, but the batteries were getting low 30%, so I decided to kick on the grid charge and the fan was noticably pushing more air when the grid started charging, like louder and everything. Has...
Yea that's what my research has found too, I'm not opposed to the heat pump, induction stove, and mini splits everywhere, but even heat pump and induction stoves will use a ton of power.
What are everyone's thoughts on timer system for the water heater?
1) there are 3 batteries
2) 48V
3)48V batteries
The batteries are EG4 LL v2's and the rack is the latest EG4 rack. When hooking it up I noticed the large lug for the inverter connection was above the bottom hookup for the battery which doesn't seem right.
I'm thinking I need to move the lug...
Couple questions from this:
Is charging from the grid good or is there a need for the chargeverter?
When you say guaranteed 100% state of charge is that different than in the settings for the inverter telling it to start charging at 30% then stop at 100%?
Can you say why it would be better to...
I got a kit without panels from ss, my plan is to expand to at least one more 6000xp in the future so I went with a pallet of these
