If your talking about HA do you have a template for that? it would be much appreciated.

Sorry I really know very little about parallel connections and how different panels behave to help, I understand that amperage increases in parallel but that's about it.

If your looking to use it in the Philippines you would need the EU version, the US version uses split phase 120v whereas the EU version is single phase 220v which is the typical grid output there.

Hence the £600 that's half the price I can get a similar spec battery here in cheepo land

Ooohh posh white whiskey never come across that particular brand but I haven't drank in years, spent a new years with a few family members drinking Hong thong whiskey and felt like JFK for almost a week after, never drank since.

I don't think a lead acid equalisation charge and a lithium battery equaliser are the same thing also do you need that many batteries bearing in mind the 280ah agm's only really output 140ah where as the lithium batteries will technically output the full 280ah if it were me I just buy 4 of the...

No I wouldn't even say it's someone angry as from what I can see the destruction is fairly small, as I said earlier it just looks like someone drunk or high found a skid steer with the keys in and just went "GTA M*****F*****" proceeding to yeet said skid steer through whatever he could find.

As I said before the time of use corresponded to the lowest temps in your area best guess would be thermostat perhaps a wax wire touching the casing coming from it.

It's very likely depending on the model of smart meter. As far as videos there should be plenty on home assistant but most informative on setting it up can be found here: https://www.home-assistant.io/ The Deye inverter setup has a few various GitHub pages but this post seems to have a video...

No idea about that maybe if I get that far but I'll likely just stick to AiO's I have a few 10amp epever tracers running 12v for Arduino/esp and solenoids for irrigation but they are pretty basic.

I'm not using the term SRNE is and after looking it seems there's no 120v versions so that's likely why you've never heard the term off-grid/hybrid they aren't available in the US. Sorry OP seems my suggestion can't work in the US

This was on the news here along side a spate of EV charger fires I'll try find a video those were scary seems they were using lithium cells in the public chargers to compensate for the poor grid power.

Can't really make out the board sadly but the trim to make that one MCB is making me chuckle, on the plus side it's a metal box which was considered old but now is back within regs. Yep so atleast Its independent and not tied onto a ring or some malarkey though the earth cable feeding into the...

It's 2 core

I use the Powmr modbus registers found below for esphome https://github.com/odya/esphome-powmr-hybrid-inverter/blob/main/docs/registers-map.md though I'm also having issues changing parameters will look into it further Ty guys

I know it's for esphome but if you take a look at this it might give you some answers the modbus info is under src/modules/inverter. https://github.com/odya/esphome-powmr-hybrid-inverter

Side note if your local energy supplier or guy comes to read the meter you will likely get in some trouble with the wooden box if they need to check isolators, best bet is to get a proper enclosure of some kind tlc direct was a good online wholesale outlet if you don't have a local one. Atleast...

Phone and an id card are likely to be useless if 💩 hits the 🪭

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...

What I mean is unless you can source a decent 15kw+ inverter you will have to split the loads between multiple smaller inverters so planning that would be checking what items are essential IE cooker,lights,sockets on first inverter shower, AC units etc on second also if your aiming for solar...

Sorry tell a lie there is a us version

Either or 4mm or 6mm both would be best on a 32 amp mcb

Might be called a battery equaliser balancer or just a battery balancer the Asians have crazy names for lots of the hardware so I might not be correct with terms used in the US

Only pointing out that there's no washers between the busbar there's plenty of other things have been mentioned, though personally I would have added some spring washers to the rear between the bolt head and the bus bar. From the above photo it shows some annealing between the connector and...

Definitely needed the busbars here are likely made of steel RS RS Found a reasonably cheap one that works fine and being an ex tool maker and issues with dies I can fix myself. Have a bin bag of dry variant from searching for marine grade Rtv is heavily used on the farm Have alot in my...

Please tell me your planning to replicate morons videos with unbiased results and correct safety.

Anything sensitive has redundancies and due to the excellent 3rd world power here we have multiple spd`s i had a spike of 900v only a few weeks ago and 11kv sometime last year when a drunk decided to play chicken with a power pole, didn't know you could fold a 2ft square concrete pole with a...

Thailand has a max 5kw limit for on-grid and our max peak usage is 4kw though typically we average around 1kw so I doubt I would go much bigger maybe a 8kw on grid and max tie of 5kw output but I'm still wrapping my head around where to fit the strings and how im going to cool it all.

My wife's cousin(next door neighbour) is very much into experimenting everyone calls him "Big science" even though he is relatively rich by Thai standards he always does things on the cheap. He managed to get a large quantity of 200w poly solar cells from a nearby solar farm that was being...

I don't think so wether the cell is laid flat horizontally or on edge horizontally the area would be the same I think it's purely down to a lack of knowledge/common sense and bad design and we're not just talking about detrimental to cell life were talking thermal runaway.

They have the same impression about the UK don't worry

🤷No idea but its an off-grid inverter capable of taking an ac input so seems to fit op's use case don't really care what they call it (magic sunshine machine)as long as it does what it needs too. Edit you think that's confusing they advertise 3 types here on-grid/hybrid, off-grid/hybrid and...

Or in your case 30amp fuse wire https://www.homebase.co.uk/masterplug-fuse-wire-set/12804912.html

Did you fix it? If not I might be able to help if you show a debug log of your modbus and what register the value "19" appears on.

I might be wrong here but 3 phase in the UK would work differently to how many forum members use it in the US, to get a single phase 240v you have to link phases then buck that down to the desired 240 aswell as balance each phase. It's not the same as pulling 120v single phase from a 380v 3phase...

Also just to point out, this thread has been here since may and had no replies until today and very few views. I would suggest looking at other platforms he might have posted on as i doubt you reputation has been seriously affected from this thread on this forum.

Don't quite understand this but I'll be running with a battery so don't think it applies Does this apply to the S6? the manual shows as below, I doubt I will parallel as 5kw is the maximum grid tie were allowed here but it's worth considering who knows what the future may bring. The Huawei...

Not necessarily the fire aspect but I worked on a job with a kerosene stove that someone installed a main line that was soldered. The kerosene ate through the solder joint and went on to empty 1000liters or more into the ground. Because the install wasn't signed off by a certified oftec engineer...

Even the chickens will it's just geese and ducks that seem to have issues with the snakes. We have kings and monocled on the farm the kings are amazing and no trouble but the monocled have little man syndrome and want to pick fights with everything luckily there's plenty of kraits also which eat...

SDR90 or 9? I thought the wall thickness got lower the higher the sdr number? I typically use sdr9/pn20 which at 2" is about a 5mm wall. Thailand makes alot of plastics as it's one of the largest producers of rubber and plastics in the world (lots of latex trees here so tyre manufacturers love...

There's a few I've used https://www.opensolar.com/ before but maybe others here know of better. Also suncalc.org is a good indicator

How long do you need to run and do you have line of sight between the two locations? I'm inclined to suggest something like the tp-link CPE range it's point to point wifi so unlikely to have frequency issues like power line extenders.

Op's original photo actually looks to be scratched off then applied on top then as your suggesting, re-lazered but more confusing to me I why go to all this trouble then use a 11 year old barcode.

Do you have much choice living in the UK?

It's not de-ionised water, might be good for temps but pretty sure if my bath isn't placed at least 12inches above ground level there will be sparks. I'll get the cooling from stainless coils dropped down if I decide to go ahead (more I look at battery prices, more likely I will). Once...

I'm confused 12v panels in parallel will only output 12v even if you have 100 of them, the 20 or so volts your getting is voc most SSC need 5v above battery voltage to work so go 2s2p up the voltage to 24v half the amps and enjoy.

The issue your likely going to have is the price of a 12v PSU, sub 500w is readily available and cheap (look up Pico PSU) anything bigger starts to get more specialized and far far more expensive. Alot of specialized server room stuff runs off 48v so you could try to look for 2nd hand 48v server...

Check the current agreement and the specs on the inverter if you have to swap like for like you could try stick to the current 2.75kw but use modern panels thereby freeing up roof space and add more panels to a separate inverter like the sunsynk hybrid which should in theory work in tandem with...

Quite possibly, I've used 18650's for years and never seen one bloat I was just guessing as a cylinder would be much harder to mechanically constrain without turning it into a bomb.
