Please if it gets any worse I will be living in an off grid cardboard box made out of solar panels. Lol not really but I can’t afford paying 3 times my normal electric bill monthly. This was a pull from my limited 401k to get the bills back into what I can pay.

So you can leave what is there ie panels and SE inverter but get in between and use your PV?

This looks very promising. Thanks.

Never mind I see they are 9540A. I will call them about estop if I can find a number. Today.

The problem is that the solar edge sends to the grid and I get 10 cents a kWh but pay over 20 cents kWh I just bought 26 kWh of batteries and a new inverter so changes a coming.

Can you give me a little details on how I would handle keeping the 12.8v batteries balanced if the cells in each would be balanced. I understand your saying that even thought the 3.4v cells in each 12v battery would be balanced but that the voltage in each 12.8v battery of the 51.2v groups...

Haha yes it is addictive and yes I just bought 4 more lol thank you so much for your assistance and advice.

Hi, I have another thread but wanted to ask some specific questions since the other thread is getting off topic. Because of cost and some for the Joy of playing around with batteries and cell balancing and just plain ole' love of learning. (ya there is more to it but ...) Please excuse the...

Unplug it.

Yes they are valwood 12.6 x 250ah. And are designed to be in 2p/4s etc. each has 200amp BMS with all the normal stuff included Bluetooth and low temp shut off but I. Texas that’s like 5 days a year on low temp. Valwood has certified the setup with this configuration using 2P/4s or 3P/4s if I...

I own the system not lease. Can you explain what you mean. The company was Freedom Forever

Hi, I have a Solar Edge SE7600H-US Inverter that is setup to screw me by having it feed directly to the grid. Since the electricity companies rape solar customers now I need to get some batteries and feed to them and use my power and only send what is left over. In the documentation I cant...

Thank you so much all I need is the shutdown part for pytes and I am gonna order 16 and figure out which stack or cabinet I need for inside my garage. I’m ready to order today. Thank you again. This place is always been the place where I can find answers that are real. I appreciate everybody...

That’s whole setup ?

Ok I got it to try lol if it works I will like it 900% more lol

Thanks will do today.

Is there any battery turn off relay besides Blue sea systems, and TE EV200A1ANA. Both of which are not UL Listed. The blue sea systems is marine listed and used by coast guard but nope inspector says must be UL listed. He claims they are out there but says it’s not his job to tell me what...

Rapid shutdown from battery separate from RSD of PV. Like EG4-LL v3 offers. It’s almost like his demand was word for word from what they offer.

The old solar assistant pipes cable works for the 4800 R batteries, but does not work for the V5. Does anybody know how or what wires to re-crimp the end so that I can make it work with my V5 batteries? I am using a SolArk 15 K and I have 16 pes V5 batteries in closed loop. Thanks very much...

I have done that every company is offering the same rate to Solar +- few cents. I wouldn’t be doing this otherwise

I just found out I need to use both sets of terminals. I have 4/0 welding wire from Victron and 2/0 for each 51.2v 250ah series string and 1/0 between batteries in string. I have 250 amp fuses in the Victron for each parallel string and a 500 amp fuse which will only trigger in with a problem...

Thanks, I will probably go with the V5 or the R version, just waiting for my super insane battle of wits with my inspector for 3 months so far. if he blesses the ESS Rapid shutdown which will also shutdown the DC bus then i will let Solark pick which flavor, I do like the V5 wifi dongle but I...

Thanks for all the help it’s been live for the month of February. No grid used and sent 250kwh to the grid. Survived 3 horrible sun days of rain.

Thanks I sure would like this then running 4/0 through my brick wall.

Was meaning if this doesn’t work Each of the 200amp BMS in each 12.8v 250ah battery also has low temp shutoff and built in cell balancer at the 3.4v 250ah cell level. I also will be fully charging each 12.8v 250ah battery using 14.4v 20amp lifepo4 charger fully before putting in series. See...

Any thoughts on Blue Sea’s option it has no continuous current and only uses power in switching 12v 7amp for 40ms. https://a.co/d/jheEx2K It’s not UL certified but it’s Marine certified SAE & ISO. Will I have an issue with that? Thanks again

I just got flagged needing a radio freq or remote battery disconnect for me 4P4S 16x12.8v 250ah setup that is in my garage. Any thoughts besides running 4/0 to outside of house?

I have ordered and received an PowMr 10000W continuous and 20000W peak Split-Phase Solar Hybrid Inverter Pure Sine Wave 48V to 120/240V AC, Built-in Dual 100A MPPT Charger, 120A AC Charger, Can Batteryless Run + Wi fi Mudule My AC has a tested 11,200W startup 240V approx 47amp. And continuous...

Just asked inspector and he said no it specifically has to be UL listed for Solar.

I pay a load of $225 month and $2500 current in electricity which is more now than I paid before getting solar
