  • Post in thread: Is there such thing: "on-grid solar-assist" system?

    If you plan to have your solar installation permitted or inspected by local authorities there are very specific requirements for types of equipment you can use. For example, a cheap Chinese inverter isn't UL listed so it won't be allowed. If you don't have it permitted or inspected you can do...
  • Post in thread: BMS for Tesla

    Daly just introduced their 6s BMS for about $12. I also have two Tesla batteries but don't run a BMS (also per Will's initial advice). I'm not entirely sure of the benefits or efficacy of a BMS. We say 6s but that battery is actually 444 cells split into 6 "cells" with 74 batteries each...

    Ouch, no, not right! A 280 amp fuse on a 24v battery will allow for nearly 7000 watts! (If you wanna edit your post real quick I'll edit my quote so that gibberish isn't saved for posterity)

  • Post in thread: MPP LV2424 - max AC input current

    It's only going to draw the current it needs. 2400w/120v = 20 amps. That's 20 amps at max load which you probably won't draw all the time. I used a 20 amp breaker on my LV2424 setup. 30 amps breaker is okay but probably oversized for the 10-15 amps you'll draw continuously. You can pull out the...
  • Post in thread: MPPSolar LV2424 will not power up.

    Pos and negative in correct location? It's hard to read the labels buried like they are in that box. There is also a delay from hitting the switch to it coming on. My first time I was like WTF did I do wrong?
