So the female wire terminal was melted to the male. I had to snap it off with pliers and I didn’t want to risk bending this metal inside. Can you see this photo for how it looks tightened and if correct? Docan’s engineer said I could remove the male plug and put a crimped 2/0 through the hole...

What about the panel box inside the trailer?

Can you clarify the positioning a little more? Got it thanks Will a heat laser work?

Thanks guys

Ah great to know, I wish I knew this earlier! I thought the second one was if you were going to directly parallel the boxes to each other. This was my first box kit. In the past, I DIYed my own compression and used overkill Solar BMS. I still don’t understand how it melted the terminals because...

I hope I don’t have to buy anything and Docan makes me whole. What a shit show. I need to get this up and running today even if it’s a short temporary workaround. Any ideas of parts that I can run into town instead of waiting for shipping?

Hello, I am installing a Growatt SC 48120 and the recommended wire gauge is 2 AWG. When I go to connect the terminal lug it is too wide for the connection block. It doesn’t sit flush against it. Should I remove the terminal lug and just connect the bare wire? I also tried 3/8 lug but it was...

can you clarify what you mean by the BMS was bypassed and current path ignored?

Do you think I need 4/0 for the batteries?

What are you trying to find out?

I have been ordering 5/16” lugs. Do you think I should be using 3/8”?

Thanks for the input. This may be the easier option but it would be semi-outdoors. I've also considered this one to output 400VAC and can be paralleled: https://maximumsolar.online/product/1601/ I was working on the design today and my plan is to connect two or three of these inverters in...

I think this will be the way. The large common busbar then would need 2800A correct?

Should I remove the black rubber inside the bolt or doesn’t make a difference?

Will published a new video: I was wondering if instead of having two EG4 6500EX I could only have one and add a Growatt SC48120? I basically need more input of solar but only need to have 6000W of output. Would I connect the Growatt directly to the busbar? Thanks

I set it up. What do I need to look at specifically?

I have 90% will that work?

If anyone can help me understand what went wrong, and any mistakes that I am personally made can you please chime in. I built this system off grid and spent four+ months designing. I’ve taught myself by watching videos from Will and others on YouTube. This forum has been a tremendous help. I...

I wanted to add some room for margin. I spoke with Daisy about using a crimped 2/0 wire instead of the pop on connectors that came with the kit. I also don’t have enough female connectors now. She spoke with Docan’s engineer and said it would be okay to remove one of the male connectors then...

Yes that was just to show the damage and see if it was recoverable

I get confused because I’ve Growatts manual VDC but other inverters I’ve looked at use VOC. Are they comparable?

Like the main busbar? I would have it go to a 250a fuse in between . from the BMS. (Wouldn't recommend that as final solution off course but it will get you up and running)

Hello, I have four LiFePo4 280Ah 16s’ in parallel on a busbar. I’ve been disappointed in how they’ve been performing - I thought I would get greater battery life. I thought fully charged I’d be able to run a 4000w load for at least 10-12 hours. It basically has been lasting about 3-5 hours...

That makes sense, thank you. I found this video as a guide for what I believe you described for the busbars at timestamp 1:50

I wasn’t planning to have them in parallel. Is that the only way it would be safe?

What size amp busbar?

What amp size busbar?

Keeping the load the same but want to speed up battery recharge time by adding another SCC. Does adding extra charge controllers increase the size of busbar needed? Since more amps will be flowing in.

Hi, I have decided to go with six of the LVX 6048 WP inverters running in parallel to handle the loads of my project. I am running 10 bitcoin miners that can range from 1000 to 3200 watts each based on my adjusting. I also have four 300 watt exhaust fans. The loads are USA single phase...

Using a growatt SPF 3000TL LVM-ES. Would this fuse be too large at 110 A? Using 80amp output * 1.25 = 100 amp fuse recommended. Also this fuse shows max 125 VDC. Would this work with a 48v system? https://www.bluesea.com/products/5112/Fuse_A3T___Class_T_110_Amp
