Will it helps to have your head on straight when measuring things. Yesterday I mentioned that my battery was only discharging at 1 amp and was hard to believe since my load was close to 1000 watts. Sunshine_eggo pointed out that was imposable. Then I realized that I was using an AC meter to...

Thanks for pointing that out. I too couldn't believe my current meter reading. The current reading for the ac out was done with a clamp ac current meter. But stupid me used the same meter for the DC input reading. I have a clamp dc current meter and will check the DC current again. It's...

I connected my battery to the TP6048 controller. Even though I may not have had too, I went ahead ran the battery current through a 50-ohm resister with very no noticeable spark. When a head and connected the battery to the controller and powered it on. Here is a post I put on my Facebook page...

you are right Shaver. after my post I realized my error in the post. However, my question is still the same. with this tp6048 controller is it still needed to use a 50 ohm resistor to slow the inrush of current when I connect the battery. I had to do this with my old mmp 2024. If someone lives...

I have the TP6048 controller from SunGoldPower and am getting ready to connect the battery. Do I have to discharge some capacitor inside the controller with a 50-ohm resister before connecting the battery was with so many other controllers?

Thanks, although I don't like to spend more money than I need too, If I need two or more batteries, so be it. - I just hate putting out $3000 on two batteries.

wow! I didn't know that. I hope I didn't waste my money getting that inverter. Buy the way, I noticed you live in Los Gatos, I'm in Livermore.

Got a fast question: I notice that no one chats about the Sungoldpower 6000w-48v TP6048 all-in-one controller/inverter. I bought one about 4 months back, but just now getting to set it up. Although it doesn't require batteries, I want to set it up as off grid as I cannot have grid tie in my...

the main issue is that (and it just could be my Ampere Time 24V 100Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate battery didn't last long) is that when the battery kicked in it would drop to 24.5 vdc then within minutes drop to 24.0 volts. At 24Vdc my 2424 would have a discharge current of l22 amp. At 22 amps, the...

thanks for the battery tip. I will checkout the link

Yes, I bought from Sungodpower. I couldn't find any review videos from Will or much discussion in our group on this controller. It will be a while before I get to connect it to my electrical braker subpanel to my house as my daughter is dying of cancer and I'm down in Southern California some...

I wonder if the day of building your own solar system is coming to an end too. And if you want solar, you will have to put at $30k or more from a Solar company.

It the moment, just cheap 12-volt batters connected in series. I that that would be better than no battery. the reason for the 12 vdc cheap batteries is that I cannot afford $1300 plus for a signal 48vdc battery. I live in Livermore, not to fair from you, less than an hour due to traffic. I'm...

No one seems to talk about the TP6048 in this group. This TP6048 is an 6000W 48V Hybrid Solar Inverter Grid Tie Inverter for Solar Panel Split Phase 120/240VAC (Grid Feedback & Batteryless) - from SunGoldPower Anyway, I ordered it this past Monday and on Saturday it was at my doorsteps. It was...

I've been using the LV2424 now for almost 2 years with 6 solar panels and one 24v, 100 ah lithium battery. I have a double pole double throw switch that lets me connect the ac input to the LV2424 from either my utility company or direct from my gas generator. (Where I live, we lose utility power...
