    Electrodacus-based System Schematic (final version w detail)

    I skimmed through your document and I loved it. Wish it had been around when my install was in progress. I bugged poor Dacian with rookie questions. I wondered if you would consider presenting a section with solutions to problems? In my case I have to wire the inverter on/off switch using a...

    Testing limits, cooked 175a fuse

    In my experience microwaves and toaster ovens pull every bit of their rated wattage.

    BLSBattery

    I thought the same thing when my BLS shipped. My communications with BLS were always via email. After my order shipped I couldn't get a reply back from them for a period of time. Thought I had been scammed and that's why I put a hold on the Credit Card transaction. In my case, it all turned...

    Fedex help

    Within the US - FedEx requires the Shipper to file a claim. I'm sure others here are more experienced with international shipping rules. At the very least you should contact the shipper and notify them, seek their advice. Are all the labels the same on each of your boxes? Did they relabel...

    Fans to ventilate LifePos?

    My bats are in a closet in the bus. I had Temperature concerns as my nuclear powered inverter puts off heat. I vented the closet via a cut out in the bottom, which is the air intake. There's a cut out in the top of the cabinet for the air exhaust. The actual fan is offset, NOT directly in the...

    Not what I expected

    Comparison of old and new Daly bms. Old bms is smaller unit. New bms has not been tested because I reconfigured my battery. New one is said to have same specs as old bms. I used THE LVCO setting on my inverter at 2.5. The Daly is supposed to be a back up at 2.2v. Edit = statement corrected.i

    Not what I expected

    I ordered a couple new 200A Daly BMS and they were almost twice as big as the previous ones I had. These were a similar, different model #. The name Daly is nowhere to be found on the newer BMS. Wonder to myself if these are bootleg copies. I'll see if I can post a picture later. Bought mine...

    Fraud Alert

    My bank issued credit card + Paypal together had great support when I purchased direct from a vendor based in China. My BOA credit card put a lock on the money as did Paypal when I complained about the length of time and lack of transparency (both due to Covid). Somehow BOA locked up the...

    Oversizing panels but not in sun.

    I've always wondered why SCC cannot protect against overvoltage. They seem perfectly positioned in the system to do just that. And if a simple fuse is a suitable insurance policy against overvoltage due to over paneling, Why don't SCC include them to protect the SCC and the batteries? Is...

    BLSBattery

    I bought 16 each 190ah batteries from BLS while China was coming back online after their virus shut down. My batteries didn't need balancing but that didn't stop me from balancing them. :LOL: If you don't mind - what size are you buying and how much are they? I paid about $150.00 each...

    clear oil leaking from solar panel

    One of the connection boxes appears to have been re-attached or attached in a shoddy fashion. It feels like silicon oil on my hand.

    clear oil leaking from solar panel

    Hello hello Just received 6 solar panels and 1 of them is oozing some sort of mineral oil / silicon fluid. Looks to be coming from the connection ports on the back of the panel. What is it there for? I presume it's necessary or it wouldn't be there in the first place. Anyone know of this...

    Samlex 24v inverter vs Aims

    Regarding the EVO series of Samlex inverters: It's my experience, with the separately purchased remote, all the parameters are customizable, unless your intended setting conflicts with other settings. For example; it will not let you set the low voltage cut off at a higher voltage than the low...
