Never fails 😄

I just picked up some Victron inverters a few weeks back so a major price drop would be likely.

I use a 6,000uF capacitor bank and it can only store enough useful energy for about 0.4 milliseconds. Half a cycle at 60Hz is 8.3ms.

There is a use for supercapacitors in a battery application where one needs extremely high surge currents for just a little while, in...

Batteries store far, far more energy than capacitors do, even supercapacitors, per weight, and per volume, and per dollar.

The energy stored is nowhere near enough. We use chemistry for good reason.

The double studs are due to a regulation that for any fuse over a certain current capacity in an area with multiple fuse blocks the fuse...

Look good. Are there washers between fuse and lug? They are structural, not very conductive.

High temperature cables just means that the insulation can handle running at higher temps. This allows more current to flow through the...

These might fit better side by side. Panduit lugs They offer "narrow tongue" versions

I would shave a fair bit from both so they arent putting any pressure on those blue components on the left.

Fuses are self heating, that's why they blow. Is this in the Renogy? Is it your fuse? To prevent nuisance blows it should be 1.25 to...

The problem with those types of crimp is they are no longer considered code compliant. These days they want a crimp that meets...

Seems like getting components that give you decent headroom and not trying to push settings to the max yields peace of mind and reliable...

After about two years in, I learned that the "baby steps" approach cost me too much money. I spent nearly $5k on a Bluetti AC200Max with...

it's fun, addictive and so satisfying when you can DIY things and you can get bonus points because others think you're being eco :)...

I have been learning that myself. The cost of a solar setup is a bit like doing plumbing. Every little fitting adds up in price. And...

After panels, batteries, and inverter, I was surprised how much the balance of system stuff added to the cost. Good wire, good tools...

Solar panels actually produce electrical power if placed in the sun and a load applied. The power they can produce is not a constant...
