  • How to guarantee no backfeeding to the grid?

    Hi guys, Is there a way to connect my new inverter to the grid but guarantee the power company will not see any back feeding so they won't know it exists? Is there a device I can connect in between the grid and feed that would take small loads that the inverter might put back towards the grid...
  • What to do with 20 free golf cart batteries?

    So we'd asked our local golf course if they had old golf cart batteries last month. At the time I was looking for some batteries to put into our newly acquired Toyota ECOMS mini EV. But I've since already found exact replacements which are working well. I also ordered 26 lithium blade cells...
  • Installing 200v EV outlet on old building - grounding question

    Later Edit: Well, I just measured the incoming line from the pole at the main breaker. It's not 200v after all. It's 102v. I could have sworn it was 200v from when I measured it several years ago. Guess not... So that is the answer right there. This is only one leg from the pole feeding this...

  • Can I get some opinions on these panels? Longi LR7-72HTDR 600~625M

    Hi, So I'm considering these panels for home use here in Japan: LR7-72HTDR 600~625M https://static.longi.com/LR_7_72_HTDR_600_625_M_30_30_and_15_Frame_20240527_V2_9cb60497fe.pdf I don't see anyone here really talking about 600+ volt panels. Why? Why is the US and/or residential not using these...
  • Where to buy LFP cells in Japan?

    Hey guys. First post. I'm rebuilding a used Toyota COMS (ToyoBody) EV. Upgrading the 6 lead acid batteries to lithium. 72v system. Looking at a JK-B2A24S20P BMS. That a good one? Anyway, so far I think the EVE 100ah 3.2v LF100LA cells may be a good bet to replace the six dead Panasonic...
  • Inverters that support high voltage (500v) storage batteries

    Hi guys, Second post. I'm in Japan (100v 60hz) and am researching the best inverter brand and model to buy for a DIY solar build. I intend to connect a Leaf 24kWh battery to it for home storage. I'm a member of Dala's EV discord group but have additional questions. So far I've been able to...
