Been working on this for a while, and finally got it up and running in November. This has been pretty much to prove if you have an EV(Truck, or a little less so, car) and have as little as $5-6k available that you are ok with waiting on a 4-5 year return on, this is stupid easy. Here is a link...

Been working through some issues, but I now seem to have a working, albeit too expensive, single-axis,linear actuator, Arduino controlled, panel lift. Once I have some materials sorted it’ll be likely, around $100/panel, and then around $70-100 for the tracker electronics, which will, for me...

Connected the refurb 6000ex AIO I got from Signature Solar, and output L1 to ground is 109v, and L2 to ground is 131v. What would cause that? I’m assuming it needs to go back. Wonder if that was the original problem as the system looks like it was dropped or something.

I'm trying to figure out what I'm seeing in my system of 4 x 300 watt panels into a 4 to 1 combiner box. It's a 12v system, and the 8420 has an 80A limit. Is that limit what is causing me to see only 25-29v coming from the panels instead of the 40v the panels produce when the wattage output is...

I've built an off-grid EV charging system with an EG4 6000ex- 48HV. I'm thinking of mobilizing it, but also moving it outside. This is Central Texas with the associated high heat. I'm concerned it may overheat, even when pushing only 2500-3000 watts to the batts/EV. Then there is building...

Wondering if anyone still has Epever wifi adapters working ? Both of mine have dropped off the network in the last week or two, and will not re-connect using previous procedures. It's always been a tenuous connection, but seems to be entirely down now. I loved the value of the Epevers, but it...

This is my recently completed solar powered, microcontroller controlled smart garden drip watering setup. https://blog.arduino.cc/2023/04/19/automatically-monitor-and-irrigate-your-garden-with-the-arduino-cloud/ Unexpectedly, my project, which is relatively simple made the Arduino Blog. I...

Howdy, I have an off-grid shed/studio system with 4x300 watt panels wired to a combiner box to an epever Tracer8420AN, and two powerqueen 200ah LIFEP04 12v batteries wired in parallel. The Voltage showing on the controller and that on the Inverter (RoarBatt 2000w) differ by about .5 to .7...

Just wanted to pass on, as a lot of these flexible panels I've seen reviewed had low power output, sometimes significantly lower than advertised. We're getting ready to start an overland build on our Audi TDI Q7, and need some light panels for the top of the rooftop tent, and wanted to start...

Hello, I've been running an 80amp Epever in a 1200 watt, 4 panel system with the 4 panels run into a combiner box. This produces between 20-32v usually from my 37v used panels into the charge controller of my 24v system. I just changed over from the Epever to a Victron 100/50, and for the most...
