Thank you. When i get up there next month I will try to get his settings. It has some WIFI connection, but I could not connect last trip. Will try again.

Hello @LydMekk , thanks for that. I am learning his new controller and setups. I think we could safely set a max run time. That would be better then continuous run for hours and hours. As it is, he does burn up his backup generators after 2yr of use. they run alot. He has 2 backups he flops...

@ timselectric sure at $4k id hope so. A.Justice Yes that controler would be good idea. Will had a vid from last year where he had some big pad he put on a sheet of sheet metal. I think that would work well for 16s wopachop No the whole system with Solar is out in the shop.

We have a Sol Ark 12k controller. It will turn on the Generator when battery supply drops. It will never shut it off. Is this typical? I end up checking the battery level on the controller LCD. If charged, I will shut it off manually. Is this normal? As it gets colder out. I doubt he will want...

My question or advice needed is. Mom n Dad live 100% off grid. 100deg in summer time mid 20's during winter. He has solar, and backup generator for alternative power. Generator is wired to the Sol Ark 12k-P controller. He had FLA for years in a home made 4ft x 4ft plywood box w/ foam board...

how big of inverter and battery size are you using? @ 120a, that looks a little shy for my multi plus 3kw inverter i have.

Yes all autos are reduced factory output, just today Toyota announced reducing their output due to supply issues. We will see how this all plays out. Electronic chips are in short supply, I haven't seen a price go up, just device shortages.

Just heard on Biz news, Rivian automotive will start using LiFePo batteries in there new trucks. Due to Nickle supply. Wonder how this will effect the smaller batteries we all purchase.

they still have workers these days, thought everything was web site driven automation..... LOL

Purchased while back for my TT build. Decided to go with 12v not 24v. Extra parts left over 2 - BMS8T / 300am shunt $80ea 2 - Contactor DCC-300HB - $75ea if you buy all 4 pieces, i can adjust the price

what amazes me, is with all the welfare / assistance handing out. why does the same government not require those to help out the city/gov. Bring back some work groups to pay for your free/subsidized assistance. Example how much trash is around your city, how many city / country parts need lawn...

I would love to know the number of REG's ( recent college grads) that get out to work vs those that as you said, stay home and milk mom n dad more or the state . Compare that now to 10yr and 20yr ago. I think the number is increasing. I see the same thing in my circle of life. Pretty sad. I...

exactly the point. if we all started to be more dependent on our selves, it would bleed into making America more independent and creative.

A smart mind listens to others, gets 2 sides of an opinion. Only the closed mind is so weak they dont want other input. @alfaeric some times its conversation starters, that bring up a problem discuss give opinions that pushes some to think, and take action. Just because he didn't say "I'm...

search the forum, someone was selling some boxes they had for 4s config... with bms.
