Apreciate you good luck wish, but is now clear where the lack of knowledge appears..., part correct in your script the word 'only' fails to aknowledge alternative earthing systems widely used, and the safety they employ is in using high sensitivity Residual Current Devices (a replacement to the...

After receiving some great support from this forum (helped a lot to get my first DIY solar set-up), and having now recently upgraded my solar system with a completely new set-up (the old set-up now installed to another property elsewhere)…, I just wanted to share a little of the good with new...

Hi Rick, I've changed my balancing window from 0.003v to 0.015v (suggestion to increase).. not sure if, now I've changed BMS settings to increase capacity use (COVP 3600mv & POVP 14400mv.. CUVP 2900mv & PUVP 11600mv ).. whether I also need to change my balance start volts (currently set to...

Hi Rick, Firstly thank you for your welcome note.. I have read through your most helpful and detailed script that relates to my settings.. and with the follow up posts (one yet to also digest from Mikefitz) to closer review and compare in detail, I feel I have received some excellent supporting...

Okay..., I understand your view, and clearly having no gounded system in the property would be leathal.., but that is not in fact the case..., If I can try to explain further..., I did say the 'Neutral was earthed at the Incoming power box' (Incoming main earth wire from the 'ground rod' outside...

Wow..!! so pleased to have now joined this forum.. and I'm truly grateful to you all... your positive and supportive response are just what I needed.. clearly (for me ) I hope to now digest all what's been said and look to apply any suggestions and changes.. I feel humbled but no longer alone...

Maybe silly of me wanting to reply, and don't get me wrong I do respect your sincere view, but my only confusion is with your lack of understanding that a dirt connection is exactly where the term earthing comes from..., but dirt connection can only be called a protective earth connection if...

Forgot mention to Mike that strangely his suggestion of a low cost 'Aili Battery SOC monitor' being helpful, appears a good decision and the same item (TR16H Capacity Meter) I currently have on order from Aliexpress to complete my setup.. (to be fitted in the white panel box left side of the...

It's really good to read your strong differing views, given with logical, experienced and thought out personal reasoning... (with open door to longer term new learning).. In my slow development, I have struggled to understand why the subject of 'best SOC window' proves such a debatable one...

You're no doubt right about ground neutrals, but as you say no probs as yet, and cheers for your comment..

Sorry, maybe me, but I'm not quite understanding...., if okay, I think I will leave it as this. The electrical system in my house was, is and always has been equipped with a grounded Earth. the difference between blowing-up my Inverter and no loger blowing my (new replacent) Inverter is, I have...

Hi, I can only try to explain as follows: the meter light Flashes (slowly not rapidly) when the Battery is receiving more charge than discharge (charge amps to the battery is greater than load amps from the battery)... the meter light remains ON when not charging but is discharging (Load amps...

Strangely I have within the past hour ordered a second same type meter (this time from Alibaba).. I personally think they are a great little meter for quick monitoring of battery charge status..

At the time of starting this thread I had got myself so confused.. I was first concerned whether or not I should in fact be using a BMS... there seemed so many similar settings (to me) in the Epever that I feared there could be damaging conflict.. I convinced myself the BMS should be used...

I am grateful of your helpful reply.. though I initially tried and failed getting my PC to work (to view the Epever Controller goings on), I was also disappointed once I did manage to view what could be seen.. however and I now understand your logic for connecting, especially at and around the...

Hi Mike, I appreciate you explaining the charge process (with the Epever controller), it does help me better understand how simple it actually is, or meant to be when working correctly.. You are right about the BMS settings.. they are my own attempts.. and clearly out from recommended.. I have...

Reaching out... New to DIY Solar, I've read many answers to help in getting me started etc. and what appears a popular question is regarding suitable Epever settings for Lifepo4 cells.. and so I hoped posting this message would provide me some support that would help get my setup settings close...

Yes it does help and very much so.. And I agree and very much understand people will have have different or preferred solutions to the same task.. but providing they are offered with logic, sense and reasoning its what makes it all so interesting (and a big plus for me with learning).. During...
