Mine also automatically showed the same Luxpower values when I installed Solar Assistant
The menu for the Display gauges settings don't specify units, so I didn't know to change kw to watts. Eventually, I changed 28 to 28000 and the gauges were no longer always showing 100%. If I had...
If you look at the GSL USER MANUAL, there is a manual bypass switch in the schematic in paragraph 3.9 PARALLEL SYSTEM CONNECTION. The text reads, "WHEN THE INVERTERS FAIL, THE USERS CAN SWITCH THE LOAD TO UTILITY."
Wonder if I should follow the manufacturer lead or concerns and have a manual...
For my business, I don't feel comfortable relying on one internet provider. In Panama we have a lot of outages and Murphy's Law tells me that when I have a project due in the USA with a critical deadline that is exactly when an Internet outage will occur. I need Internet to upload...
My build version is FAAB-0D0E, You seem to be right about the only difference between the old and new inverters. Eddie shared that to keep their current UL Listings that they can only make limited modifications to the new inverters. Therefore, you are also right that the old and newer version...
You can use either NC or NO functions with Luxpower software programmable parameters for SOC to use as a sensor for a smart home. For instance if the batteries SOC=90% automatically turnoff AC or other appliances and announce, "system on battery power with low solar production."
If the solar...
Agreed.
My (3) 5KW GT inverters system have worked flawlessly for over 3 years. I have heard so many bad reviews about all the problems with the hybrid inverter systems that I was paranoid about switching. At first, I wanted to install the new hybrid inverter with the existing GT inverters...
Today, I asked Nick Pan about parallel and AC couple software update. His reply was that the new software update will parallel my GSL inverters and AC couple my GT inverters. I asked him, which port GEN or EPS to AC couple the GT inverters. His answer was GEN. I told him that a DIY member...
Nick told that they have about 100 inverters in stock ready to ship. I had asked Nick, if I would be getting two inverters from the new production run with the GSL logo, color, latest firmware, etc. The answer was no and he sent me some photos of the inverter in stock, which are white and...
I told Nick Pan that there was some confusion about the GSL 12K units being able to be parallel or not on the DIY Solar Forum. Since I bought two GSL 12K hybrid inverters to be paralleled, I needed to verify that they can be paralleled and fully functional. This is what he wrote back to me:
Hi...
I had the alarm for almost 2 years and it works great. I wanted it for my GT inverters. Several times I had problems with the breaker and lose the grid to the inverters. If so, the GT inverters shutoff and I am not selling power to the utility. This was a cheap and easy fix. It simply plugs...
I actually have a 9500 watt generator for my deep well. I also have over (3) tanks with about 1200 gallons of water and (2) are actually on the roof. I have ran piping from the roof tank to a gooseneck faucet in the laundry room and another to the kitchen. The laundry room has double deep...
This GSL battery is 51V 14KWh 280AH and my cost before Chinese New Year was $3860 plus $420 shipping. Your actual cost could be little more or little less, but still a good estimate.
The following link have detail information about the battery specifications...
Thank you, I appreciate positive feedback.
There is another option that I'm seriously considering, which is the GSL-H-12KLV-US, which cost is about $3000 and has the 200A bypass, UL Listed, UL couple, parallel installations, hybrid inverter, etc. I can buy the hybrid inverter and 15 KWH...
Appreciate the reply and the heads up about Insteon, I did not know about the bankruptcy.
I an wanting to transition my smart home from Alexa that is cloud base to Habitat. There are other choices, but Habitat can work with Alexa and might make the transition a little easier. I should...
Sorry Craig, I don't understand why my post would had offended you. It has never been my intent to offend anyone.
When the grid loses power, we seamlessly switch to hybrid. Since the whole house is on backup, you would not know that there is a power outage. I have no problem with my family...
Can anyone get in touch with Will Prowse? There are 28 pages on this thread and probably over 500 posts, and still growing
It seems that there might be enough interest that maybe, Will P. would consider doing a review of the GSL-H-12KLV-US hybrid inverter..
So far, I have seen links for the companies websites and the manuals, but not an actual US dealer with advertised prices where either Huayu or Luxpower can be purchased.
Solar King said: "A salesman from a battery factory told me". The words in quotes were your first 8 words that you posted (yesterday 9:19 PM) not my words. I am just reserving my judgement on Luxpower, until I know more information than some unknown salesman opinion. Sorry, I offended you...
I apologize to you about the back and forth and I am truly SORRY. I really do appreciate your help and the testing that you have shared. Without your help, I would have blindly follow GSL "only" instruction on how to parallel and AC couple by connecting to the GEN port.
You have tested...
Excellent and informative videos on the Schneider XW Pro. I watched 3 of the videos. After seeing all the nuisances resets with Sol-Ark and its inability to perform as rated, I have decided not to buy the new Sol-Ark hybrid inverter. Originally, I thought the Schneider couldn't be stacked or...
Understandable, it is night time in China ... so expect crickets. China is12 hrs ahead of us depending on where you live. An interesting fact is that all of China is officially on the same time zone - Beijing. United States has 6 time zones and about the same size as China.
The advantage of the RJ45 is that the crimping tool is cheap and most DIY should be able to make a specialized cable per manufacturer wiring requirements to connect specific inverters and batteries. If manufacturers would use standard cables, USB might be the a better choice.
The Blue Sea 300A DC breaker has 3 poles that are rated each at 100A DC and all 3 poles are factory connected to a common busbar that parallel the 3 poles for 300A DC with a connection for the battery cable.
My contractor prefers the breakers with din rails. Amazon do sell the Nader 3 poles...
The Sol-Ark 15K is made in china by manufacturer Deye. I see posts that Deye will not sell to USA, because of a some deal with Deye. However, USA is not the only country that is 120/240 split phase. For instance Panama, Belize, and others
Have anyone seen the Deye version of the Sol-Ark-12K...
Each battery size is 900x675x200 mm with weight at 128.5 kg or 283 lbs. Total cost with shipping $8140.
The battery is listed at 8500 cycles with 15 year warranty. 8500 cycle @ 1 cycle/day / 365 = 23 years. The warranty itself reads that the warranty life cycle power during warranty period is...
