  • Post in thread: Multiple MPPT Solar Charge Controllers to the same battery bank

    That would be a definite goal to know how much we are able to produce. Thanks, Doc!
  • Post in thread: High Frequency vs. Low Frequency Inverter - Does it matter??

    That is the video that absolutely changed my mind in regard to AIO... just not even dispute-able... liars figure but figures never lie. I just wish that we had ordered a 6,000 watt Conext SW or XW Pro prior to having a technician say that an SW4048 would be able to parallel to grow our off grid...
  • Post in thread: Need advise! Building new house and putting up solar

    Ah - another Nevadan! My wife and I are up in Reno preparing to go off grid north of Sparks (Calle de Plata mountain top). Hope you were able to get your system up and operating! We will be starting small - only power the RV on a SW4048 system installed in a 40' Sea Container. We are waiting for...
  • Post in thread: Schneider XW Pro commission

    Waterflea - my wife and I are attempting to be totally off grid on a 39.3 acre property in Northern Nevada. Your system is pretty close to what we are thinking to build up to. We ordered an altE Pre-wired Syst, SW4048,CL150, SCP to supply power to our 50 Amp RV while we were in process of...
  • Post in thread: Off Grid Farm ~ Mobile Power Cargo Trailer Build: Growatt 12kw Install

    I was admiring that you have AIO - we purchased our system four years ago and dealt with my wife having cancer then me having a heart attack last year. If I had know gear was going to change this rapidly I would have held off acquiring anything - life happens.
  • Post in thread: Chargeverter alternative

    We were looking into a charger that would work for Lead Acid (couldn't find one yet. We ordered a unit several weeks ago for the 5kw 48 volt Big Battery to charge as a back up - not going to arrive until mid April. We are also looking into to 100/48 Charge Controllers to run heavy charge into...
  • Post in thread: Help with Conext AGS/SW4048/ComBox

    My wife and I are just getting started installing our altE Pre-wired Syst, SW4048,CL150, SCP in Northern Nevada. She had cancer and I am just recovering from a heart attack in Feb'23. I have done a lot of research on our unit and I began wondering if we should order a XW PRO 6848 do to our off...
  • Post in thread: Multiple MPPT Solar Charge Controllers to the same battery bank

    I am looking at two MPPT 100/48 charge controllers (EG4 MPPT500vdc100A)... not sure if it will work to keep the Absolyte GX 48v/2,000A battery fully charged. Still studying and trying to learn best method(s) to accomplish our being off grid.
  • Post in thread: Multiple MPPT Solar Charge Controllers to the same battery bank

    Thanks, Doc - I appreciate all the direction in the past week and a half in regard to the charge controller. Been online and on the phone with Schneider, Midnite Solar and Signature Solar. I think that your charge controllers seem to fit the bill for our needs but I will have to rewire the...
  • Post in thread: Off Grid Farm ~ Mobile Power Cargo Trailer Build: Growatt 12kw Install

    MY wife and I (located in Reno, Nevada) have purchased a 30'x40' single slope steel building with a High Cube sea container behind the building for electrical equipment and battery banks. We ordered a altE Pre-wired Syst, SW4048,CL150, SCP but will have to upgrade to a XW PRO 6848 because of...
  • Post in thread: Off Grid Farm ~ Mobile Power Cargo Trailer Build: Growatt 12kw Install

    I see that you are running a Conext SW 4024 inverter. We have a altE Pre-wired Syst, SW4048,CL150, SCP. We were able to pick up (2) commercial AGM 2 volt battery banks (48 volt/2,000) for storage but I am being told the 4048 will not push enough power into the battery bank(s) to power our 40'...
  • Post in thread: Conext SW4048, DC Breaker Panel, SCP Control Panel

    Well - I heard the same story 3 years ago before all hell broke loose... I would still like to see a stack option to reach the desired goal of 8,000 watt potential... but I still haven't installed the first SW 4048... cancer and heart attack put all that on hold...
  • Post in thread: What am I doing wrong? Conext SW4048 won't utilize 120V from my genny.

    Would love to see how you wired everything up to your SW4048... we need power on our remote property and I cannot get anyone out there to install. I just need the basics and a way to install a sub panel to supply power to our 50 Amp RV to get off the ground. Reading all you messages here to...
  • Post in thread: Off Grid Farm ~ Mobile Power Cargo Trailer Build: Growatt 12kw Install

    MrM1 - sorry I didn't receive the notification of your responses. I apologize. I think you are correct - we are always seemingly being upsaled. As to the SW4048 - I didn't think that there would be any problem with charging with the Classic 150 but it may be that the Absolyte battery banks are...
