No I talking simple tower fans they have 3 windings no idle shortest winding is 70w middle is 75w longest is 80w I would have thought the lowest setting would use considerably lower power than the highest but a 10w difference is nothing.

Check the power factor reading on the meters then work out apparent power from that and see if the cars reading is closer. When measuring DC power we just use current X volts but AC meters will typically measure (current X volts) x power factor, this possibly could be the cause of your differing...

Don't buy a cheap non inverter model is my only advise as the power draw is massive compared to inverter but then again I'm on a solar forum kWh aren't such a problem for you lot.

Yes I really doubt much force is needed with the weight of the panels also all that force is being balanced on a very small area even mounting in concrete with those screws you'd likely snap the heads off, hence why they are supplied with hefty expansion bolts. Epoxy is a bit like a tattoo, it...

Good info I'll be doing something similar but building from concrete block as shipping containers are so damn expensive here it seems also hot as hell.

This one? https://github.com/leodesigner/powmr4500_comm

Cheers for the reply, though from what I've seen many people do go with Longi, JA, EVE and so on. Sorry I'm fairly new to solar and haven't had much experience with different panels/cell types so my eyes can't differentiate, no rating plate has been posted on their listing and I haven't been...

So $210 and 30 minutes of youtube Vs a $1800 system that you might save a few hours of installation time on.

Ours have some form of canbus but i really cant be bothered to work out what it is, then decode the registers myself. Im really not a fan of any 3rd party integrations too many have disabled api access in the years I've used home assistant, then put their goods behind a cloud paywall or just...

Do Easun considered no2 on your list even manufacture inverters? I thought they were just rebranded Voltronic/SRNE.

I have the Powmr 12v 1.6kw version as a ups for my server Rack, the fans took a while to get used to and the soc seems to be completely made up but it seems to be a pretty good unit, I'm using a esp to decide the data and feed it into home assistant which is great as I can manage the load by...

From the photo of the cable it pretty much can indicate either the crimp was too large for the cable or the corrosion loosened the crimp one thing I would advise for @Delmar is looking at the corrosion I'd cover it in dielectric or some other form of rust protection next try if your using steel...

Even Google has no clue, I think that thread has been proven it's a real guy, don't think even LLM's know what that word means.

I doubt the railing is attached to the builings rebar and the suggested cable a few inches deep only works on very wet soil. they crazy thing is your air conditioner should be earthed they normally fit rods just for them and for the electric showers but im guessing you would have noticed the...

So I've managed to find a readily available source for stainless steel coils, but they only come in 3/8" 6m lengths and I'm not all that happy about making non accessable connections underground especially with oil. so I'm likely to go with your 2m depth Tanuki that gives me about 6 coils at...

So no expensive tools necessary unless you want a warranty? So saving $60 on a flare tool in the end.

Yep you can run lxc`s within proxmox natively I use a turnkey Linux filesystem it doesn't have any fancy features but you can store files easy enough then add the other features with something like syncthing What do you expect it to cover ha has the motion eye NVR that can store motion...

I know the style I'm quite surprised though, obviously manufacturers can suggest what they want but atleast in the UK it would be considered against BS7671 electrical regs I think they actually suggest ferrules for class 5 and 6 cables on all terminal types now for the exact reason above, to...

And likely work after puncturing a cell also because that's such an important selling point.

I think as its in UPS mode the AC is being converted to DC so it can switch between grid or battery without any downtime rather than pass-through, that probably explains the efficiency loss. It isn't a big problem to fix after i install everything i just need to draw the circuit down and think...

100ft really isn't a big deal especially when your dealing with alot of panels in series, but my two cents would be your talking about big batteries big inverters and not much space so why not make a dedicated (fire safe) room somewhere off the garage to fit everything, then run any cables from...

So I live in east Thailand ambient temps this spring have been hitting 44°c/111°f on my shaded balcony I only fitted my larger system a few weeks ago and it's currently monsoon season so it's a lot cooler but summer will be a interesting test. I'm automating large floor fans to try keep the...

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...

So just for theories sake would a acrylic film or lacquer be a good way of increasing longevity? Obviously the lacquer would be susceptable to water but it should increase the UV resistance without reducing production too much. I know acrylic won't allow uv-c to pass through but Im pretty sure...

Hope this is just a normal link...

Each to their own I guess. UK and Europe demand a resistance of 5ohms or less and rods need to be placed the same distance apart as their depth.

So best I can suggest is make sure any emails your sending receiving are going through the correct channels IE sales@sunket.cn and make sure when you purchase it's going through a secure payment method IE Visa credit card they seem to be a PV panel/ess case manufacturer for sure.certain this...

High voc panels tend to be Japanese from my research, I've seen a fair few solar frontier panels in the Thai market that have around 77voc.

As a reference no idea if yours has an inverter but this is a Toshiba 960w inverted AC unit. This is consuming 2KWh daily but only runs around 13 hours per day

ROFL ok well like I said I'd try the two in series rather than 3 if the test comes out ok and the voltage isn't clipping the charge then go for 2s2p there will obviously be some losses but it's likely going to be better than it dropping into pwm

The Deye doesn't use pins 2-3 it's uses 5-6,check the rear pages of your manual to confirm yourself

first one that popped up

Agree with above the other factor you need to account for is the numbers you gave likely don't account for startup (inrush current) which could be greatly more than you quoted if you stick to a DC pump that won't be as much of an issue but best guess is with AC your quoted pump might have a...

AHH right so this is where it would be confusing for me if the gen port is either input or output not both how would the micro inverters know what frequency to harmonize with, I would think the micro inverters would be the ones timing not the Deye inverter.

From the manual I have on hand.

Question: my power shed will have six points where rebar enters the ground in sets of 4 and also 1or2 points where a stainless flow and return enters the ground, I realize these have a higher resistance than a ground rod but they will be bonded to the earthing system essentially making them...

I can but the domestic market is so much cheaper I'm currently looking at lvtopsun 16s 234ah batteries they come in at 55,000 baht which is equivalent to $1500/£1200. I've also noticed Deye 10kw single phase inverters are on the Thai approved inverter list, double the price of the 5kw and 6kw...

Most of the premium brands are said to be Chinese now and their all below 20¢ a watt, atleast here in Asia anyway. I've said it before, I swear they use SEA as a testing grounds if they can survive the year here with Muppets installing them they can get the ul cert and ship to the west.

Sadly my wife loves the wild mushrooms that grow around our farm so I'd get boiled and fed to the dogs if she caught me contaminating our ground water with a fungicide.

Was it galvanic or just simple old rust on cheap steel contacts?

Nearest road is 1km away and nearest house that's not family is about 8km so as long as I keep on the downlow I shouldn't get noticed. I wouldn't think that a lack of power would really affect most of the folks that live in my area I doubt many of the people my and my wife's age even grew up...

Not sure how accurate the data is for us in SE Asia I'm currently getting 250% of any projected daily production almost every day. From 760w of panels I get on average 2kwh on rainy days during this time of the year(monsoon season but high sun angle as it's close to summer solstice). We average...

Do you have any telemetry for the unit? Ive seen weird reports of similar instances that charging increases during morning and evening when the panels voltage is lower.

Ops I didn't pay attention when I posted earlier 109voc

This 💯 Bad Beer Rots Our Young Guts But Vodka Goes Well The two gold lines gave the orientation away

No directly to the battery with heavy load should be fine we want the battery to have a load so that the controller can see a realistic voltage of the battery. When you get a voltage reading from a battery especially charging it's normally not a true voltage I suspect that's what's happening...

What revision of documentation is this I thought you had 8kw versions for some reason the documents I have are also for the 5kw but this page isn't on it.

So where at the first disconnect should the bond be made I'm hoping after the main rccb? here they only supply live and neutral I'm guessing that's why the regs state a bond should be in place the only thing that worries me is the occasional time the engineers decide to swap the conductors...

0.31 percentile lol

Yep servicing looks like an issue I think that's the reason though mini splits are generally easier to service and maintain.
