10 years of ground mounted grid-tie solar. Panels are mounted with a 30.5 degrees pitch. Panels are Canadian Solar CS6P-230P and 20 of them cost $6,624 ($1.44/watt). The grid tie inverter is a Fronius IG4000 which was $2,233. Monthly data of five and a half years of solar production...

I searched the forum for this information but could not find it, so I'd like to post this file (if that is acceptable). It helped me and seems pretty clear and understandable. Hopefully it may help someone else.

Did this. Bought 2 stainless steel stockpots from Walmart and 2 Doulton (W9121200) filters. Filters were $44 for 2, they're 7"super Sterasyl candle filters. Pots are 12-quart Mainstays $9.76 each. Dispensing stainless steel spigot from eBay $9. Total price $73. Drilled out lid rivets on lower...

1. battery cable size 00 of 2/0 awg is good for 175 amps 2. battery breaker/shutoff = (5000 w / .85 efficiency factor / 48 v) X 1.25 fuse factor = 153 amps, so 150 A ok 3. 33.08 amps DC @100 volts going 20' : #10awg is OK with voltage drop of 1.3%; #8awg voltage drop 0.83%. #12 AWG NO GOOD...

If this a portable hand truck a ground rod to earth at the location of operation would connect to the Growatt case/ground.

From the data sheet provided earlier: Your 80 volt CBI breaker is NOT polarity sensitive.

Seems like 6 awg from battery is thin/small for 3kW inverter.

I don't know whether the original poster had weight or size concerns and although he is considering 300 watt Grape Solar panels I decided to compare the Longi 310 watt to the Grape Solar 100 watt panels. Only comparing them for size (footprint) and weight for ~1800 watt array: Longi 6 310 watt...

yes

If in Program #14 "Battery type" you select USE, not FLd, you can change the battery low DC cut-off voltage setting in Program #19 in the range of 20.0V to 24V in increments of 0.1V

DDP stands for Delivered Duty Paid, and in simple terms, it means that the SELLER covers ALL the costs associated with the goods and the shipment of your order from their door to yours, which includes: ... Shipping. Import duties/fees/VAT/Customs clearance. Delivery to the specified address.

I think I would keep it to 4 in series. then 7 parallel. Voc x 5 x 1.2 =271 volts may be more than NXT would like to see. x1.2 is low temperature correction. They seem to be leading you in this direction: 4 series / 5 parallel

After an EMP event you will not need the modem; the Weber grill with a 20 lb. tank will burn for about 20 hours. The peak battery capacity of each "6.2 Home energy kit" is 1425Wh. The four "Yeti tanks" are lead acid cells with a peak capacity of 1200 Wh. What is the power consumption of the...

Cold panels produce more energy; is that what you mean? Yes. Would that still apply to Tucson, AZ ? Yes. City does average 17 days a year when the temperature drops below the freezing mark of 32 degrees. Coldest day on record was 6. Batteries not powerful enough for the LV5048? Correct...

get rid of the dryer & buy a clothes line and clothes pins is natural gas available? no, consider a propane tank for range / oven ac compressor, come on man, it's not that hot! Inverter LV5048, they're 5kW and you can stack 3 when you get serious about disconnecting grid power

Interesting, where may I ask is this house?

What are you asking/saying/doing??? "stuffed something" = what "Moving wire from interference" = what "monitor ran flat"= what

run what?

no

OK "600 plus" does not mean anything to me. Is this dollars? If so, what is price of kWh. Is this 600kWh/month for the heater? P.S. I get bored real quick.

PV Watt predicted 4752 kWh per year; actual was 4365 kWh, about 8% less.

No you don't need to add anything; lights seem to draw 0.1 amp.

I believe those Dometic ACUs draw about 13 amps, not sure how long it will run on solar & battery. Don't see your inverter output wiring or generator output wiring in photo but I guess you could wire in a Progressive Dynamics PD52V 5200 Series Automatic Transfer Switch - 240 VAC, 50 Amp

Error 72, connect AC output N wires together. Yes, 2 MPPT.

Maximum PV open circuit voltage for Growatt 5000 is 450volts. Choosing 12 panels in two series strings of 6, panel open circuit voltage needs to be less than 75 volts. Looked at your panel link but my Spanish...

Battery link seems to say 100Ah. Calcium batteries require a higher charge voltage than conventional batteries. If used in a deep cycle situation it is advisable to use a charger designed for calcium batteries of has a calcium charging mode to get the maximum life out of the battery...

Buy a 10' MC4 cable and cut it in half. Here's an assortment of ground lugs: https://www.titansolarsupply.com/grounding-lugs/ 6awg is fine, it's only 4 panels.

what is the error code? amps not high enough is not an error code

Black monocrystalline and blue polycrystalline solar panels both offer unique benefits and drawbacks. Due to their uniformity and the alignment of silicon in monocrystalline solar cells, monocrystalline panels tend to have a higher efficiency than polycrystalline panels. However, this higher...
