  • Show/Tell and quick reviews

    Just wanted to share pictures and random thoughts from a recent project. I really applaud all you folks on here with super neat and tidy builds! Mine is pretty sloppy by comparison, but gets the job done, haha. Last summer I built a small 800W array and 400Ah AGM 12v battery, which was fun, and...
  • SOLD: Victron Quattro 48/5000 (120V), and Conext 60A/150V mppt - barely used

    Victron Quattro inverter/charger (48 VDC input, 5kW 120VAC output) and Conext (Schneider) solar charge controller. I used these briefly on a small off-grid system, about 6mo (before moving houses and dismantling that system). I had 3 parallel strings of 3x 350W panels, feeding a 10kW DIY lifepo4...

  • Victron SCC odd behavior, scratching my head

    Putting my new 16s Overkill BMS through its paces with 200Ah 48V battery. Been a rocky start so far, several issues. Victron Quattro kept tripping the "short circuit" protection (I guess initial start-up current was too much?), and slow/buggy Bluetooth. But the weirdest thing is how my trusty...
