Damn I might buy a few. 75 (64 if you buy a pallet) bucks for a 370W panel! Hell I may buy more than a few. I have a whole west roof left for expansion.
I bought 25 Jinko panels from them locally and they have been great for 3+ years now. Don’t know about shipping though. When I bought they were working out of a large house with panels stored outside. That could be different now.
Yes, you'll need either a raspi with venus and a third party can adapter, or just buy a cerbo, or venus, or any other GX device with native built in CAN. You'll be better in the long run with software updates (imho)
Lunar new year is over in china so I got a reply in the heating function from JK:
For instructions on heating cables, the green 5PIN cable of the heating cable needs to be linked to the heating pad, and the rest of the black and red cables are linked to the smart charger (after the smart...
Did a rough assembly of the BMS onto the front panel. The cable CAN work just wish it was a bit shorter. Also did anyone hear about this heater cable? Was is the red and black cable for?
I’ve had the series pad connected for about 30 min and it’s hardly warm. I cut the series connection and put them in parallel it’s much better. It’s noticeable warmer but still able to leave my hand on the pad as it’s distributed over a wider area. I think this should be good enough as I...
1. I was thinking the same thing, however this 30 or 60w will be distributed over a larger surface area so I figured that it would probably heat much slower and less direct so it wouldn't have the same impact as a lightbulb with the resistor over less than an inch.
2. No, not all the time. It's...
I'll be installing a 8sp2 system into an EEL server rack battery box for a 24 system with the new JK BMS inverter BMS. EEL sells heating pads (designed for 48v systems) that has two pads in series. I figured the lower voltage should just halve the power. I measured the resistance and it's around...
