Given that the correct size cabling, earthing, fuses and circuit breakers will be installed. Ditto Solar Panels, Combiner, Controller, Lithium Batteries and Inverter. 2 Lithium Batteries will be mounted at the bottom of a metal cabinet (1830mm high, its a flat pack build), Fan off the bottom...

In Australia, we have a 240vac system, my understanding is that if using a generator for safety reasons an RVD ( see below) is used rather than an RCD since both the active and neutral are floating voltages unlike mains power with active and neutral having a relationship to earth. I am in the...

Plan on having 2 x 500w Solar panels in Parallel (ie Panels 50v 10 amps) driving a 24v output Regulator/Controller. So the input to regulator is 50v 20 amps and the Output from the regulator is 24v 20 amps? , or 24v 40 amps? Re the 24v 100 amp SOK Lithium Battery see below The recommended...

Was told today by a Solar equipment outlet that the Inverter and battery should be matched ie a 3500w inverter and a 3500w capable Battery my proposed setup is a 3500 watt inverter and a 2400 w Battery BUT with Fuses/Circuit Breakers to limit a load of 2400w. In actual fact will probably never...

Looking at using a Lithium Battery like the SOK 48v unit, mounted vertical against a brick wall in a veranda. Unit to be mounted on 2, 2 inch x 2 inch pieces of wood to get it off the pavers and ditto to get it off the brick wall and allow air circulation, held to the brick wall by metall straps...

Am wondering what is a reasonable time period for a 3000w or 4000w, 24v inverter to last before it has a failure if running 24/7.? Appreciate your comments. The reason I ask is that some equipment sold in the US has longer warranties than the same equipment sold in Oz (agree there are different...

My current thinking on my Off Grid Solar Install in Australia. The Growatt 3000TL HVM-48 is a Controller/Charger/Inverter in one box, if the battery get low, its charged off the mains to keep the frig etc going. Weakness I understand, is it can be noisy on full load and it will be adjacent to a...

I have had experience with single a 12v Lithium battery and Deep Cycle 12v AGM’s in parallel but no experience with 12v Lithium’s in Series. So the question, is 2 x 12v Lithium’s in Series, better/same as 1x 24v Lithium. The write up below, does not getter into any BMS issues or or...
