I bought 18 370 watt aptos panels and installed in 2 strings of 9 for 6660 watts total. I just got a cloud edge that was 8653 watts for about 30 seconds. I thought one 6000xp could only do 8000 watts? Never mind, specs say max 10000 watts for PV. But still, these panels rock.

I have been using Victron VRM for a couple years now with my raspberry Pi. A couple months ago I added the solar irradience widget to my advanced view. Supposedly it utilizes AI for its forecast. I have found this incredibly useful in determining how far I care to drain my batteries overnight...

Here we go again! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/japan-s-scientists-unveil-a-revolutionary-solar-breakthrough-that-could-boost-efficiency-by-1-000x/ar-AA1yLAFJ?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=b3420404e5024296a310f1eaa5892ebc&ei=13 What are we supposed to think about this 1000x...

I want a 6x6 x 5 foot wireway. I've seen some but $400 for a square metal tube seems unfair. What does everyone do?

Anyone have any ideas? I think this would be the ultimate for those of us with Victron SCCs while also using the MPPTS on the 6000xp. Is it a pipe dream to have all MPPTS on the same 3rd party monitor screen? I know home assistant is an idea but, how to get both a Victron SCC and the eg4...

I think I remember people suggesting that updating firmware while connected to SA is a bad idea. Is this true? If so, why? The 6000xp uses the wifi dongle for SA. Not RS485.

Ok, so let's skip the part where you tell me it's not an ideal situation. This is just for a thought experiment and perhaps an implementation later. I have: 2) 15s 280k boxes 8) 50 Ah 15S pouch cell batteries. 2) 6000xps I am thinking about adding one cell...

I just upgraded my panels. I have 2 identical 3660 watt strings, wired exactly the same. They are positioned very close to each other. I have noticed that PV2 is almost always about 50-60 watts less than PV1 even tho sometimes it has a higher voltage reading by 5-8v. Does using 2 MPPTs...

I bought this. https://www.amazon.com/Square-Schneider-Electric-HOM3060L225PGCVP-60-Circuit/dp/B00NOM8O72?th=1 I know I am NOT supposed to have neutral and ground bonded while using the 6000xp when connected to grid. The thing is, I am usually supplied with a green screw and know not to put...

I have a couple extra Esp32s and a lot of phone chargers to power them. I am looking for temp sensors like Will finds inside the batteries that will be compatible with ESPhome. The ones with the self sticking goop! What is that goop? I would love to be able to have real time and historical...

The manual references "Working Modes" But I have not found any documentation on how to change or test these settings. Searching the pdf manual for "Bypass mode" I get nothing that will help me change to it... It appears I am stuck in off grid mode and this is not ideal. I am not looking to...

Just wondering if this is an issue. This is a EG4 6000 Xp going to a Victron shunt shown in solar assistant.

I stumbled upon these breakers. Alexa and Google home ready...

Ok, so I have put a bms on top of the existing bms. The original is not powered. I did this because it makes connections easier and also serves as a mount. The old bms has no connection to any balance leads or positive. Is the fact that the neg of the old bms leads being connected a...

Is grid bypass near 100% efficient? of course accounting for the 60 watts for the unit itself?

Up until today I have never seen a load using grid and battery. This happened right after quick charge reached terminal voltage. Is this right? Anything to be concerned with? Possibility of back feeding? Theoretically could I somehow use 3000 watts from battery and 4000 watts from grid and...

As soon as SS gets them in, they will be shipping my second 6000xp. I am a little concerned about the increase in transfer time to grid on overload or end of discharge. Will a PS4 and computer restart on grid pass thru? How will my window AC like it? How will my fridge and freezer like it...

Hello to all you fellow sun hunters. Happy New Year

Ok, So I have purchased a second 6000xp. I plan on only one being connected to grid for the foreseeable future as I am out of breakers on the main panel. Would there be any issues with 2 6000xps on the same battery bank but only one connected to grid? I understand that my pass thu would be...

Any one else here of this??? this is not going to be good. Oh and Yay! lower prices! https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/lebanons-official-news-agency-reports-home-solar-energy-113809042 There is zero info on this in the link and elsewhere. Do NOT feel obligated to click the link.

Anyone else as nuts as me? I have been using SA on my watch for a couple weeks now. Is great. You should do. Oh, and VRM works as well
