My 30kWh forklift FLA is now 19 years old. Got it free about a year ago and being cheap have continued to use it although I have bought...

We're about to enter second winter here (freezing day and night, and snow incoming). At least we have tons of sunlight, so the heat pump...

30 years ago we all went triple pane windows here, but even much earlier they were used with new houses. I have four pane windows.

Should be snowing later this week again so still using ground source heating and ~3000kg heat preserving fireplace.

You should try installing 700W bifacials (N-type HJT, shingled cell, 22,8%, 39kg each) like I did. Fun stuff.:unsure:

I'd say they are. They are installed like you'd install one and then install another one exactly the same. But they don't have comm...

I understand there are cheap chargers like these and hooking one up wouldn't be a problem even for me, BUT I'd want it to work only when...

I pretty sure I'm too dumb for this kind of stuff. I mean my electrical knowledge is closer to "ouch, that hurts but did it again" than...

Now what is the "correct" way to add more charging power to my system? With two Deye12Ks I can charge only ~26kW (2x240A) at the moment...

Yes. It's like they have common mind although I know they don't. Well, that can happen, but it depends on the settings. If there's not...

Thats helps, thanks for explaining. I thought my panels are bad. Will wait battery

I have to confess that I haven't tested off-grid capability with this setup. Black-outs seem to be quite rare now that all power lines...

No. My Deyes are connected as you'd connect one and then just add another one and connect exactly the same. They work as individuals as...

Current needs to go somewhere. Panels won't push current, it's always drawn by your loads/battery charge. The best thing with off grid...

Is there a reason why you need them paralleled as Master/Slave (=com cable between inverters needed)? Parallel installation like mine...

My two Deyes (=Sunsynk) are working parallel (no com between them, both set to master IRC) with different batts (FLA and LFP). They work...

Up here going totally off grid would mean a drastic reduction of my daily consumption. My 44kWp system produces 350kWh on a perfect day...

Grid tied system? You can measure amps if there's current draw (your local loads/backfeeding grid/battery). Otherwise not so much...

Well, this wouldn't be a hobby if it worked flawlessly all the time. I mean everything does work quite nicely now, BUT that's a good...

Usually around 700V, but once (sunrise, -35C, snow) witnessed going over 800V (808V) which is max limit for my Deye12K (~SolArk15K)...
