Today was the annual ballance check of my LiFePo4 bank, where I program the SCC to 28.8V, from the normal 27.4V on an 8S 4P bank, to see how the ballancing is from the initial top ballancing. The maximum delta voltage between cells was 83 mV initially dropping to ~35 mV after an hour, not...
Because a refrigerator is an almost an essential appliance, along with being one of the most energy consuming, understanding it's demands is essential for offgrid planning. Many who are new to solar underestimate it's needs resulting in dissapointment, to better understand it's demand I...
Thought I would share my experience with a dual port BMS, when ordering I submitted my requirements to the manufacturer, charging 60A, dischargeing 120A, they recommend a model capable of both with some saftey margin. The one thing that I didn't account for was the inverter charger which is...
The purpose of creating this thread is to discuss the weaknesses of direct FET based BMS control and ways to overcome them using alternate methods, some of which can be addressed by currently available passive BMS's but not entirely
Having collective input towads a common goal is the focus...
The so called "Solar Generator" is by definition, not a generator, it's an energy storage device, since there is no mechanical to electrical transition, photovoltaic modules do not qualify either. There needs to be a better term to define such a device, perhaps "Portable Solar System" would be...
