My thinking as well. Seems like from what we read here, SS dragged the OP through the ringer, hoping he would go away. This is not customer service here on the forum, this is CYA. Hats off but shame that the OP had to go this route. Like Bud said, when you see one cockroach you can assume...

Thought of the day: You always read of people converting their 12v system to 48v, but not 48v to 12v.

Is it popcorn time again? :) Count yourself blessed, at least they told ya you were screwed. Normally they just ignore and hope you go away.

What are neighbors? :)

Cooper pipe and a burning smell. Did not see that one coming.

Lot of states are wishing California falls off into the Pacific.

You sent somewhere in the neighborhood of 350v to a MPPT controller with a max rating of 150v. Work backwards from there.

So what is the net? Never been arrested, safe to order from SFK? What about speeding tickets, bankruptcy, or jay walking?

If what I am reading at the forefront on the website is correct. This reminds me of a quote from Ronald Reagan. "Nine most terrifying words in the English language" = "I am from the government and I am hear to help".

I joined this forum after hearing Will talk about the issues with Signature Solar. I had a similar problem with the EG4 48v 100ah waterproof batteries. Issues with the BMS incorrectly reporting SOC, random shutdowns. Each time I called SS I was promised a response. Never happened. I would...

Reminds me of an event that took place last week for me. A local family business I frequent a lot - had a new cordless phone system they had purchased, yet sat for a year. They could not find someone to cable it in. Long short, I made a cable from Cat5 that had 4 RJ-11s connected to each...

This is like watching an old Western movie with a traveling snake oil salesman. A circular saw running without a blade and not cutting anything is not a 15 amp draw. We could go on.

Too funny.

Would never take this guys word as gospel. No real background and in it for the glam / money. I use to subscribe to him but noticed he deletes comments / discussions that correct his errors. Not someone to trust in my eyes.

It is actually not legal, really. Google "Magnuson-Moss Act", Federal Law which prohibits such. Lot of states have stricter laws as well. Regardless the warranty is prorated, which makes it almost worthless in the later years, when you have to endure the cost of shipping the battery back.

I have physically been to both. Take away: SanTan is run by highly educated and experienced senior staff that understands business, customer service and have been in business for years and /or brings a ton of experience to the table, i.e they do it right. Their facility is pretty impressive (in...

Lookup IronRidge for your mounting. Even more so if you can get them locally.

Maybe this forum is the US based tech support SS advertises? :)

I almost thought the same when dealing with them. Not in so much for the poor product quality, but the promises of resolving and getting back that never happened after you continually chase after them.

Lot easier to run power cords then diesel lines. Plus safer and more reliable. Yes the refers are stacked in the middle of the ship down low, close to the power source (ships generator in this case). At port (on land) there are special locations to power them, awaiting pickup. You rarely...

Given the current way our government runs they will force us to have meters that can be read outside the house read by the Gestapo. Wait, they already do that. Just like in my state where it is legal for a tax assessor to walk into your property; look in windows to see if you basement is...

I tend to do larger panels in the 450 to 500w range so like to hit every rafter. It is quick and easy as your are already there. If concerned about damaging more of the roof, you already did and adding a few more holes will not make a difference in my eyes. 5 or 10 holes = same amount of...

How many years from now, can you repost the same thing except replace 48v with 96v?

I can hear SS now: Sorry, it took us three months to troubleshoot, unfortunately that puts you outside the refund window.

Take your time and do measurements before connecting. Do not want to see another one blown up. :)

They are nothing more than a get a sea container from China, open it up and put shipping labels to the USA on what's inside. No value add at all. If you can deal with that, they are OK. Other than that, I think there are too many left over JB Weld fumes in that building.

I consider "work backwards" as teaching a man to fish. :)

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

That in itself is a reason for me to shy away. Been there, done that and nothing good comes from it.

Even better is my baby here. :)
