I Literally bought the cheapest MINI 100Ah 12.8v Lifepo4. As Will has basically proven they are all the same more or less. I bought these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D8HXJJXQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title They where $140 with a $30 off coupon ($110 gotta catch these deals when they happen) I...

I have an Update on this. All is well with the current set up, having a large amount of extra space I wanted more batteries, so I bought (4) 12v 24AH lifepo4 to add to it since they were $32 each on ebay. I did this because the cart would draw up to about 122A very briefly with my family of 5...

The 2 cents of a "Green Neck" 1) We should have bought every subsidized Chinese solar panel they would send us since they were down to sub 8 cents per watt, and said thank you Mr. Xi. If a foreign government wants to subsidize another countries energy independence, you take it. We lost the...

I will probably add a 24k BTU mini split for next winter, maybe this summer, but my short term solution was to install a Changeover switch to my Dryer (25A at 240V) to eat up the excess power during peak sun. I'm producing around 8kw at peak and using 3-4kw charging the batteries (full by...

My buddy near Austin Claims he has free power at night, He called me asking about a system to charge at night and discharge during the day. That was a couple years ago and batteries are cheaper now, It may be worth looking into again. It was viable then, more viable now. Just gotta front the...

Totally agree, I use 2 transfer switches and a changeover switch to optimize my load and keep the power from touching the grid. Yes I'd love to utilize the grid pass through and turn off feedback but my Power company will NOT allow any connection to the inverter because it CAN back feed. The...

lol, I have a wife and 3 kids, and they will use power hogs on dark days and not think about it. Basically this allows me to use the grid for power hogs and my solar for everything else. My logic is the batteries are for night time and energy hogs are for sunny times when the batteries had their...

I do but its in my RV, which is in storage, so I ordered another one. The Rv is solar powered too so I like to keep one there.

Anybody running the white Sungold Solar 10kw Hybrid Inverter? Im running mine off grid from 11500KW solar and 840AH 48V Lifepo4. When I run large loads ACs and pumps I can hear that the frequency is low, so I'm figuring the inverter is running at 50Hz not 60Hz. If i Change the "grid" setting to...

It was an early Picture, Its missing the 48v to 12 V Dc to Dc also, I was excited and wanted to test. Plus the balancer wires were just short by an obnoxious 3/4"

I have a Victron rover boost MPPT Controller wired in parallel with my Hybrid inverter to utilize some extra 18v panels and silly places to place them. While its a cool concept to boost the solar voltage to charge 48v Batteries It seems to max out at 54.XX V which will certainly charge a 48v...

You will need a 12v inverter to fun your outlets on battery / solar. I chose an inverter with terminals and outlets. This way You can use the terminals to run a line from the inverter to your electric panel. I used an automatic transfer switch to hook up the inverter to my panel. I set the...

Tested as 60H, This is after changing the setting that resulted in 240 vs 230, Its too cold to test the actual Ac right now but thanks for the insight. I had it on the "custom 60HZ" setting changed to The "USA" setting and this seemed to be the closest to grid. The main menu had "USA 208" but...

Good Catch, Was running 115v per leg, Adjusted to 120v per leg. I will wait for my Hz meter to arrive to confirm the frequency as well.

Ive bought alot on Ali-express, Long story short is don't buy Large Items, There is a high probability they will send a fake Tracking number and harass you to mark the transaction as complete. Aliexpress wont help either so you have to use your Credit card to fight the charge. I have received...

Lets consider an affordable hybrid inverter like the 6kw growatt or one of its similar variants. I'm assuming the listed max PV array power of 5KW is based off the 80A PV charge current X 62.5V which is higher than 54V for charging 48v Battery bank. So my question is do you stay under 5kw array...

If I see 60Hz and the slow running still occurs This will be my next step, Very good idea. Testing is difficult as I had to put a heated blanket over the thermostat to get the AC to kick on since its winter. I may just pull the thermostat and jump it to test next time. But I haven't installed...

Sungold SG10KHB-48 sungold apparently stopped carrying it so below is an amazon link. https://www.amazon.com/SUNGOLDPOWER-Inverter-Off-Grid-Parallel-Batteryless/dp/B0D5D2MTQY And the manuals pdf is too big for upload....
