  • Post in thread: China is urging families to stock up on food as supply challenges multiply

    I figured this would go all political. Sad... I do like the fact that people put out information to give folks ideas on how to take care of themselves in lieu of expecting help from the government or strangers. Thank you all who have shared your ideas and information and at tried to "help"...

    I second everything MurphyGuy stated. It is imperative that you do what's best for you and yours. Attached is an American Red Cross Family Disaster plan which allows you to put tings into perspective. A FEMA Ready Checklist because the Government is always moments away when SECONDS count. Lastly...
  • Post in thread: New GYLL Batteries 24V Version C Communicating with Growatts!

    I was told by Signature Solar that the 200AH 24V batteries will have an LCD and will be able to communicate with any Growatt which is completely awesome if this is true. As of now there are no photos of this nor mention in any of Gylls paperwork. Also they say that the front panel will have a...

    Also please watch this video...
  • Post in thread: China is urging families to stock up on food as supply challenges multiply

    Ok here we go.... There are pockets of "Trapped" citizens in some areas that the Taliban blocked. One of my terps made it out but his family is trapped over there. They may get out if the Taliban don't find them first. We abandoned a lot of people who did great work for us and this was no way to...
  • Post in thread: New GYLL Batteries 24V Version C Communicating with Growatts!

    Well I spoke too soon. The manual is available on their website. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0559/2147/5789/files/eg4batterymanual24v.pdf?v=1629908914 HOWEVER.... There was a very poor job of putting it together. Page 3 of the manual supposed to cover the Control Panel on page 3 Figure...
  • Post in thread: What Voltage All-In-One Do I Need For Abundant Power Needs?

    I only know from experience. Try listening to AM radio under a solar paneled shade structure, and you will get a brief taste of what your in for. I use Ham Radio equipment and inverter "noise" is extremely prevalent in receive and a nightmare in broadcast. In order to overcome this you must...
  • Post in thread: RFI Mitigation example

    Excellent article Joe! Thank you so much for providing it! I did notice that they said the power poles were rated at 75 amp but when you zoom into the phot of the Trip Lite it's 24V @ 40 amp. Maybe the photo was not the model that they used? And DANNNG that's a monster toroid! I plan on using...

    Financially it was not in our best interests. Hohenfels GE was the only base to actually make money because we charged European Allies to train with us there. We pay "rent" for all bases we occupy. We are in those countries because of strategic first response ability. I don't know where you get...
  • Post in thread: Newbie - Power for an Ambulance Conversion

    Nice rig! With regards to the "big wide roof for solar panels" it's not the area that is so important. Ambulances are one of the few vehicles that have decent structural integrity built into the framing of the side, front, and back walls that allow for substantial weight. They are also only one...
  • Post in thread: Our 10.6kWp grid-tie hybrid system in sunny Thailand.

    Nice setup. Since your using steel you could probably make them theft proof. Maybe make stand alone systems that can charge phones and stuff and set them up along Pattaya Walking street. Charge like 20 Baht.
  • Post in thread: Questions - MPP 12v in a van

    If you are using the existing system on the rig, you need to find out what you are getting into. There are manufacturer schematics on line or you can reach out to the manufacturer and ask for a schematic. Braun, Star of Life and others should be able to provide you a schematic. This is important...
  • Post in thread: Are SOK batteries EMP proof?

    This is an accurate statement. Never say never. If it's a joint effort it's another matter entirely. We "all" didn't stop testing them. NK tested in 2017 and we believe others are conducting "low yield" tests today This is true This is also true. Less than 2% of our society have these skill...
  • Post in thread: Did anyone else run out and buy a 48V EG4 battery after watching Wills Video?

    Just had a look... Seems as though whomever is dealing with Signature Solar over there is way ahead of the ball game. Maybe Signature is influencing them? I don't know, but the "others" features don't even come close to what the EG4LL's are offering. Plus EG4 has a "track record" If your going...
  • Post in thread: Did anyone else run out and buy a 48V EG4 battery after watching Wills Video?

    Mine took 10 weeks back in July. They are pretty good from all of the reviews. David Poz did a 6 month review of them along with several other topics. You won't regret getting them.
  • Post in thread: What Voltage All-In-One Do I Need For Abundant Power Needs?

    That's the same for me. Out here in CA there's a lot of Offer up ads with with units out of Mexico which claim higher SEER with much lower weight which to me I don't think is possible. The better the drive motor and variable speed ability is what makes these things efficient. A good brushless...
  • Post in thread: What would you do for family?

    I know a guy... Try Josh with Peace Of Mind Electric out of Temecula. Go over options with him. (951) 634-7389 His company does great work and he's licensed and bonded. I myself purchased my solar from Solar Max in 2013 before I met Josh unfortunately.
  • Post in thread: What Voltage All-In-One Do I Need For Abundant Power Needs?

    I'm not sure if anyone else caught this but the gear your running is highly sensitive to "Noise" that High Frequency inverters put out. It would be more weight, but a Low Frequency inverter will not have as much sensitivity issues with your equipment when running an LF inverter. I went cheap...
  • Post in thread: China is urging families to stock up on food as supply challenges multiply

    Typical... wanting to enjoy ALL the benefits of a 1st world country... but not willing to accept or participate in all the nastiness it takes to BE that country. Then have the audacity to chastise those who do. Freedom isn't free... Hell... even your uncle Joe was in the situation room with BO...
  • Post in thread: Recommended mounting material for mobile

    You may consider Home Depot Diamond Plate. That's what the Ambulance industry uses for their electrical mounting. They support heavy loads.
  • Post in thread: New GYLL Batteries 24V Version C Communicating with Growatts!

    Sorry for taking so long to get back to you Joe. I did receive my 24v batteries. I seen the pics of the rack your putting together and it looks awesome! Also thank you for contributing to the forum the things you did to get comms going! When I received my batteries I honestly just left them in...
  • Post in thread: New GYLL Batteries 24V Version C Communicating with Growatts!

    The manual at this point is a gumbaled mess of sloppy cut and paste jobs from the 48V manual with some detail which is 24V specific, As the manual is now (today) I wouldn't trust it without reverse engineering he battery pack. Unfortunatly trial and error could potentially damage the battery. I...
  • Post in thread: Boris the bus

    What speakers and tuner are you running with the Marantz amp?
  • Post in thread: Has anyone tried 2 Growatt 3000's in split phase as an AC coupled hybrid inverter for Enphase M215 Mirco inverters?

    Thank you RC and Ampster. This was the detailed information I was looking for. Thank you again for explaining the "WHY". This has convinced me that a LF inverter / inverters are absolutely mandatory for the house in my planned system. My batteries will be carried on my rig and run...

    1. Laptop (Brand New HP Omen) DELL XPS :) 2. Fridge / Freezer (No Specific Model Set... Open to suggestions) Danfoss Compressor ICECO VL 65 or other (watch reviews on this) 3. Microwave (No Specific Model Set... Open to suggestions) Micro / Convection combo. Less wattage more cooking choices. 4...
  • Post in thread: New GYLL Batteries 24V Version C Communicating with Growatts!

    Thanks Wogen.. I was going to wait but it looks as though a bench test will be required this weekend. I will post my findings after watching a few videos as you recommended.
