    DC to DC power supply for Orange Pi 3 LTS

    I went with this one. More money, but way better quality imho. Drok Kid

    Protran 50 Amp transfer panel overrated by Reliance Controls?

    Perhaps reliance can answer the wire gauge question. I run the 50 amp for my critical loads panel. Kid

    Seplos CAN BUS RS485 48v 200A 8S-16S BMS

    Yes Seplos, I have the can model that this thread originally pertained to. Kid

    Seplos CAN BUS RS485 48v 200A 8S-16S BMS

    I had a similar event and found a bad (intermittent) connection on one of the bms sense wires. I got lucky and happened to see the cell showing low voltage and upon wiggling the wire, found the bad connection. The sense wire had been extended to reach the terminal and I had done a poor...

    Highest Production generated on cold Sunny days

    5.925 kw system. Saw spikes past 6.5 kw Outside temp was ~ 30 F. Around 6 kw sustained. (spikes are only a minute or two.) My panels are mounted on carport roof, but are bi facial, so a combination of low temperature and cloud lensing + small bifacial gain. Kid

    JOLYWOOD 108 Cells N-type Bifacial - JW-HD108N-415W

    Could be coincidence but, the ratio of your 108 to my 144 would be a ratio of 1.33. Multiply your voc by that and you will get a value right at 50volts. Could be that your cells are larger, but same voltage. (higher current capability) Looks like your short circuit current is about 1.33 times...

    JOLYWOOD 108 Cells N-type Bifacial - JW-HD108N-415W

    I have JW-HT144P 395 watt and am very happy with them. The one you are looking at is double glass and mine are single. I would think the double glass would be better. (on both sides of panel) VS only on the top like mine. I have had mine installed for roughly 6 months and am quite happy with...

    Bifacial Panels, Unexpected bonus

    We don't get much snow here in North Georgia, but got a little last night. When walking the dog I noticed that the array had a good inch or so of snow covering it. I thought that the temperature would have to warm up some to clear the panels so I would not be getting any production until later...

    3D printed Deye 5kw Hybrid Fan Unit - SUN-3.6/5/6K-SG03LP1-EU

    Thanks, that explains why I don't see it in SA. Kid

    3D printed Deye 5kw Hybrid Fan Unit - SUN-3.6/5/6K-SG03LP1-EU

    How are you pulling that data to make the graph? I have SA but don't think it will do that. I can only see inverter temp in the charts section and it doesn't break it down to ac and dc. Kid

    3D printed Deye 5kw Hybrid Fan Unit - SUN-3.6/5/6K-SG03LP1-EU

    Copec stated in another thread. So I guess if this is accurate you would need to monitor your inverter temps to see if additional cooling was indeed required to prevent exceeding the above range. Kid

    Deye / Solark 8K Setup, Some photos an diagrams!

    The breakers are for safety/convenience. The main house panel and critical loads panel are 65 feet away. I have not noticed any swelling. My cells are Eve 304 amp\hr from Amy at Docan. Shipped from the Houston warehouse last year. Kid
