Thanks for reaching out! The PowerPro has shipped and should arrive in about two weeks (that part is normal shipping for Hawaii). The mini-split is still on backorder. I'll PM you the order number.

FYI, I ordered my PowerPro from Signature Solar on September 15th and they haven't shipped it yet. That's well over 3 months ago! I've called many times and I've always been assured that their shipment should arrive soon or was delayed but is expected shortly. Apparently they get those orders...

Thanks so much for the insightful response! I still feel like the Growatt should be able to handle this scenario by lowering the charge current when I increase load. When I set the charge current, I wish it were interpreted as the MAX charge current and it would be smart enough to lower the...

Does anyone know if it is possible to set the max AC input current on a 48v Growatt 3000TL LVM-ES? Right now I have 2x Growatt 3000TL LVM-ES running split phase 240v. For cloudy days, I have a 7500w generator to keep the batteries charged. For the most part, this is working great. I can even...

Hey, guys, I have 2x Growatt 3000TL LVM-ES all-in-one units setup for split-phase AC. Up until yesterday, they've been great! Even now they are working well. However, one unit started beeping with the red fault light blinking. I've dealt with this before a few times with various faults. This...

Individually testing each cell sounds like a good idea but in practice is VERY hard to do. Well, maybe not hard but very time consuming as each cell might take a full day to test. Also, I had some difficulties specific to my situation. For me, I got this battery put together fully off-grid...

I was unable to open an official dispute through AliExpress because that option is only available for 15 days after delivery. In my case, it took me longer than that to get the cells top balanced, connected in series, and tested as a whole, and then testing the lowest cell. By the time I knew...

So, I pointed OYE store here in case they wanted to comment. Their response was: Great... :rolleyes: I'm SOOO glad to know you don't think there's a problem with sending me batteries that perform at 75% of their rating.

No, I did not lodge a dispute. Technically, the cells arrived intact and work, just not at the level advertised. Instead, I think just having my bad experience public is good enough for now. In fact, I think I will invite OYE store to comment, if they would like, on this forum. Perhaps they will...

Hey guys! Just wanted to put a warning out there for OYE Store on AliExpress. I know other people on here have purchased from this store and many of their products might be fine but I wanted to share my experience as a warning to others. First, I tried ordering from more reputable sellers on...

I would think a filament bulb would last plenty long enough with such minimal usage - years, I would imagine. But, like GXMnow mentions, if it burns out, it will be obvious since it won't light when you try to use it. Just have a backup bulb or power resistor handy, I guess. The "problem" with...

I've watched Will Prowse and other's on Youtube pre-charging the capacitors on their inverters before connecting them to the battery. Generally, they use a high power resistor to ease the current in without a big spark. That's a great idea but it got me thinking... the right kind of incandescent...

Very helpful, guys! Thanks so much! Great setup, snoobler! I'll report back once I get stuff setup. Hopefully in a few weeks...

Thanks for the reply! I'm in a fairly remote part of Hawaii so I don't think codes and ordinances are much of an issue at least for now. I do want to keep things as safe and straightforward as possible, though. A couple things I forgot to mention before are that the solar will be about 50' from...

I have a fifth-wheel RV trailer my family is using as a semi-permanent home. We will not be traveling in it nor do we plan to move it any time soon. Stock, it has two 12v lead acid marine batteries and a gasoline generator. Next to the RV we have a 20' shipping container we are using for...
