  • Post in thread: DIY Enphase system installed and working - 39 panels - 15kwh - $.753/watt all in

    I know the title sounds totally fake but here is my journey for my 39 panel Enphase IQ8+ installation. Had been considering solar but the numbers never made any sense from a financial standpoint for me. Soooooo Found a system on FB Marketplace and started talking to the owner as he had it...
  • Post in thread: Enphase wiring and cables

    Take the online course at Enphase which allows you to be a certified installer for your own system. Took me 7 hours and was much easier than I anticipated The system will make much more sense after the course
  • Post in thread: Enphase Bi-Directional Charging and EV Batteries

    Yes could think of no way to avoid using the System Controller as stated. But your answers give me direction to pursue and that is what I am looking for, more knowledge from people that know a lot more than I do.
  • Post in thread: Where do I Start I have a system.

    I am in pretty much the same boat as you are. Purchased a Enphase system that was installed but never activated. So I have all of the equipment and learning how to install it. First step I did was go and talk to the City Permit office and ask them what they needed. Then started reading a lot on...
  • Post in thread: Enphase Bi-Directional Charging and EV Batteries

    For those that are much smarter than me would it be possible/practical to use the new Enphase Bi-Directional Charger with an EV battery that has been taken out of a car? Since a battery emulator has been successfully done for EV batteries (Dala's EV Repair) could you make the Enphase charger...
  • Post in thread: Allied Lithium 48v 30Ah

    Wondering if anyone has any insight on how they are doing a 48v 30ah battery pack in the same size as a normal 12v battery. I know they started with 12v but have switched to 48v in parallel for golf carts instead of 12v in series. Trying to figure out what cells they would be using.
  • Post in thread: Need some direction - Solar noob purchased new/used 15kW system

    Live in extreme South Texas and just purchased a used/new system ($4,500 for everything) and need some guidance. Was told that the system was installed but never activated due to the company that did the install went out of business. System consist of 39 - JA Solar 385w panels, 39 IQ8+ Enphase...
  • Post in thread: Need some direction - Solar noob purchased new/used 15kW system

    So who does the Combiner communicate with? Do I monitor it on a app or website? Does the system need to me registered with Enphase at all?
  • Post in thread: Allied Lithium 48v 30Ah

    Allied battery Can't figure out what size cells they would be using to make a 48v battery in the standard 12v auto battery format
  • Post in thread: Planning string layout - Enphase IQ8+ micro inverters - 385w panels

    Trying to make sure I get the right wiring layout for my system. I have 3 different areas on my roof but can have a maximum of 13 micro inverters on a string with these panels. So my question is do I combine panels on 2 different areas to make up the 13 on a string or do I keep each area...
  • Post in thread: Enphase Bi-Directional Charging and EV Batteries

    For my Enphase system it would allow it to all work together as it is intended to work. Enphase batteries and the controller are not cheap at all. The Enphase Controller would be needed for any battery system. Thinking the upfront cost for the Bi-Directional Charger and the EV battery would be...
  • Post in thread: Scored a Enphase 10T Battery for less than $4.5K delivered

    Just scored a brand new 10T battery for less than $4.5K delivered. If anyone needs 3T's reach out to me and I will pass on the supplier. Install by date that I saw was Jan 2026 so they should all be new stock. Paid for it today and hopefully they ship fast.
