    PoCo verbage.....

    I’d have the meter removed. One less overlord you have to be beholden to

    Off-Grid Victron System

    Yeah, these are real-life quality hardware, not EG4, Chinesium Beta Boxes :)

    Victron is Over-priced Eurotrash. Why would anybody buy Victron over an AiO?

    WIth 4 Trophy 300Ah batteries and two 10kVa Quattro's I think I would need 2 Class-T in, the lynx shunt and 1 Lynx Distributor. Presuming the distributor could handle 2 Quattro's and one RS 450/200 or two RS 450/100. Two Class-T In and one M10 Distributor ordered. Guess it's time to get the...

    Victron is Over-priced Eurotrash. Why would anybody buy Victron over an AiO?

    Oh, so the busbars lined up correctly but the casing was mismatched? If so I think that's the route I'll do for my 4 Trophy batteries with two of the Class-T power in.

    Couldn't you install the M8 items on something that makes them the same height? Like a backer of some sort. Thanks for posting pictures. I'm looking at doing this same thing for my setup. Where did you order your Class-T power in?

    Spinoff from house burning LFP vs AGM vs Lead Acid - Why not just run the older tried and true stuff?

    Ignorance, that's why. I also do not have insurance, and cannot get it and that isn't a concern. If you are as concerned as it seems like you are your safest method FLA, AGM or LFP is to make a power shed separate from the house. Being in a cold area you could have it partially set in a bank...

    Like someone said, this was a DIY LFP battery (nothing against them). If you're using server rack or your Chins batteries, so far, I don't think we know of any houses burning down when using those types.

    6x EG4-LifePower4 Lithium Server Rack Battery 24V 200AH Never used

    Update: Two batteries were purchased in 2022 and 4 were purchased last year in 2023. The battery voltage on one of the older batteries is 26.3 volts. They also have the rack cabinet.

    What was your most interesting recent non solar project?

    Well it probably came over much later on the Mayflower. It’s actually not a tiller though. 😁

    Would you buy a DongFeng car? http://www.dongfeng-global.com/ You've bought a "DongFeng" Chinesium inverter....results may vary....

    What would you do if you can spend $10,000

    FWIW the Powerwall 3 uses the new 4680 tabless cells vs the 2170 cells in powerwall 1 and 2. I wouldn't have one personally but my uncle has two powerwall 2's in Commiefornia.

    What was your most interesting recent non solar project?

    Yeah, with the sloped garden spot there, it's a bit of a handful. The rocky soil doesn't help either. But does save time laying out the rows. It has a two-disc attachment that creates a hill of soil over your row, but sadly, it wasn't working, so we had to cover the rows with hand tools...
