To the op, I'm sorry there are so few helpful ppl on here. Saddens me to read this thread of someone coming to the community for help, only to be mocked and berated by the "senior" members. The toxicity and elitism of these ppl is inexcusable and just sad.

Thanks for the answers guys. I was just surprised that there seems to be an acceptance for the home gamer of 400v+ DC on the input side , but anything beyond 48v on the output is niche.

Can someone explain why there isn't more higher voltage (96v, 192v, etc.) kit out there? I would have guessed safety issues with high voltage DC, but with the proliferation of 400-500v DC inputs on all-in-ones like EG4, Growatt, and even the reviled POWMR, it seems like people are running...

Seriously, in this day and age, who is still buying things from Door-to-Door salesmen. If they were reputable and cost competitive, they wouldn't be doing cold visits. Don't do it!

I grab the 100watt model every time they go on sale for $66 (about once a month). In my part country, these are a killer deal once you compare to shipping from the SW. Their output is inline with Renogy or Rich Solar 100w panels. I haven't had any of them more than a few months so I can't...

I just popped in to to say that is a BOSS job on that battery!!!

I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but I think most people already assume that is the case with Aliexpress. Either you roll the dice or pay quite a bit more for them from a company who verifies quality.

Thank You!!!

So dumb question, but how much of an issue are swollen cells really beyond the A grade vs. B Grade argument? The guy who got me interested in solar had cells more swollen than those in the pic, but they maintained rated capacity and had been cycled many hundreds if not a thousand times when I...

Actually, I was thinking a seller of such things would have more than one size available (also important). To answer your question though, I'd like to find cases in the 100AH/200Ah/280AH range. I'm not looking for a one-off custom case, rather I'm seeing VERY similar case designs across...

Hello Folks, I see dozens of small companies on Amazon and Ali selling "pre-built" batteries. Few seem likely to be manufacturing their own cases, but I'm not having much luck finding a seller for them. Anyone know a good seller of Metal or Plastic Battery Cases in the 4-16 cell range?

Can you elaborate on that for me? Are you suggesting that they don't have meaningful surge compared to their rating or at all? Like if I got a 3kw version, which is supposed to be 6kw surge. I would allow for the same the same underloading and would plan for a max surge of 50% or 3k. Or am I...

What do people think of these for budget inverters? I have seen very mixed experiences across the web. I'm looking for a 24v in 3k or 4k (so I can give my 1.5k-2k load plenty of headroom. Anybody have a brand they prefer in the same price range that is 24v?

Seems like a good deal even for burst into flames Chinesium to me :) And while Apples to Oranges, I have a couple of their panels that I'm really happy with.

Is that price a one-off or a merchant?
