I agree. I don't export back to the grid so my solar is all self consumption and battery storage. I have quite a large battery bank...

A battery bank will only be down by the amount you have used. Making a battery bank larger but only using the same amount of kilowatt...

Cheap chinese junk I am not surprised. Glad your house survived.

Additional batteries only helps use the additional production on the first day they are installed. Or until the first time they are...

Things change once battery bank and PV are at a certain size and not grid tied. Use any power the PV can produce if you can. Adding bank...

Never heard of the saying.

I would use my hot water tank as a dump load when the batteries were full and there was still good sunshine hours left in the day...

I regret to inform the group I just ordered my 4th piece of victron junk - I am sure there will be whining and complaining except for...

Even with trying all different sorts of settings, some Epevers sometimes don't respond to loads. Here's where I documented my ones...

There's no problem mixing different sized Ah batteries in parallel so long as they are all the same voltage and chemistry. My 12v...

The parameters to set are - Throw away the useless time wasting Epever and get yourself a Victron SCC.

Freeze drying your own food looks like something that is quite power hungry so could be a good use of surplus summer solar production.

Time for a victron SCC

If the hybrid inverter overheats from that normal use, then it simply wasn't a very good inverter. Just think of all the systems that...

A system should be able to handle a full day of solar production. That's kind of the whole point of them.

All good info, but better info would be hearing you either retermintated those cables with proper lugs or ordered a fuse/fuse holder...

A lot of us, myself included, started out with breakers like those. It naturally seemed like a good idea to have a switch and a...

No.

Not good . Look again and you see that hole of your cable is bigger than the bolt u use to connect it to So one side will be heat up...

Charts sure do make it look like the breaker is undersized / junk Voltage differences could be a sign of a loose or poor connection.
