Test parameters are a bit different but results are everything.

Hey all new to the forums, thought I would post my first attempt at a AC system for my home, positive and negative input would be appreciated mainly positive if possible. Specs are as follows and a little explanation of each choice. - 2x 380w mono half cell panels # mainly chosen because they...

So as the forum is slowly but surely feeding my OCD I'm begining to come up with a plan for my solar project at the end of the year. The finer details I can cover closer to install but deciding the big ticket items is my focus at the moment. First and foremost is the inverter, I was looking at...

So as my inverters soc readings are such poorly defined I'm contemplating building my own shunt as a test for possibly building more for my bigger system can anyone point me towards some reference material as I'm unfamiliar with how the get accurate readings. When I say building my own I mean...

Just ran into this short about insulated cpc's being "great" my thoughts are it's great from an installers perspective but from a safety standpoint surely it defeats the point of a CPC in Twin and earth.

From what I've seen the pump might be fine you can get a siphon jet(burner orifice) that integrates compressed air to get the oil to the required pressure. The thing that seems like a bit of work is the oil heater which also needs the compressed air line to be sunk in the oil via coil so the...

Hi all new member here just a quick question, am I misunderstanding the efficiency numbers quoted by Powmr? So a little background, I have a home assistant system fitted to the house automating power draw to make full use of any power produced as the battery isn't really used for storage just...

Not sure if this is the correct section but I'm trying to find an alternative to no-ox I could try pick some up next time I go back to old blighty but finding something here in Thailand would be preferable. I've seen some carbon conductive greases available from specialists here but anything...

Hey everyone I'm concerned about charging current on my AIO and was curious if this was normal behaviour. I have a 160ah FLA battery connected for reference. So I have selected 10amp charge current on the AIO but the modus is reporting a charge current of 18amps is there something wrong here or...

So I've found a very local supplier of panels (literally 15 minutes down the road is the 5th largest supplier in Thailand) they have 450w bifacial branded Infosat (well known satellite TV box brand in Thailand) but from research they seem to be rebranded and manufactured by Powitt. My googling...

So even with easily accessible graphs and figures it's almost taken me a week to notice but my production has tanked. My vmp is at or below rated vmp nowhere near voc so I'm unsure if it's the panels or the inverter. I have a load greater than production so its not normal clipping I had a quick...

So i set up my small array to handle essentials, I only went with two 380w panels mainly for the voltage as this was a greater PV power production than I actually needed. Now there's talk in the house of a larger system to power everything but grid tie is more trouble than it's worth here so...

As I go deeper down the rabbit hole and now looking at the future and my next project I starting to be torn between FLA and Lifepo4, I was thinking FLA and Purley battery backup. Silly thing is here in Asia it's actually far cheaper to go down the Lifepo4 route but the hurdle being temps...
