So I'm starting this thread for everyone doubting the capabilities of the Anker 767 and it's solar input. My current solar input record is 918 watts with 2 Qcell 480 watt bifacial panels wired in parallel (53.39VOC, 11.12ISC). 2 of these panels cost $576 which is only $27 more than 1 of...

check out these crazy stats. My son did a science paper on the pros and cons of vertical solar installations so we setup one of our Qcell 480 watt bi facial panels and took measurements for a couple months. (long story short, the vertical setup with east/west orientation came very close to the...

So my array was mostly destroyed this morning by the tropical storm. Im in Greenville NC and we took a direct hit and a 70mph gust at just the right angle loosed one of the tie downs enough that it fell off the anchor and that was all she wrote. Ground was saturated from 5” of rain as well...

Simple Level 1 Growatt SPF3000TL LVM-ES with EG4 Lifepower4 battery (3ft 2awg battery cables) with guest appearances from a Zencar level 1/2 adjustable EVSE and my Anker 767/760 that I use for an energy dump when I'm not home. Six URE 365 watt panels wired in series with 20 amp inline fuse and...

After waiting four months for installation, we finally got our Powerwall 3 system installed a couple days ago. It consists of 21 REC Alpha Pure 460 watt panels 9.66Kw, Powerwall 3, Gateway 3, and Pegasus racking. We are located in Greenville, NC but used 8mSolar out of Raleigh. All materials...

So my LifePower4 battery had some issues so I sent it back under warranty and upgraded to the EG4 LL V2 battery. Thank you to Sig Solar and EG4. I had no issues with communications with the LifePower4 battery but when I hooked up the LL V2 battery, the Growatt still showed Voltage instead of...

Well, I've been really excited about building an off grid system to power my 32x40 shop and bonus room. Lights, TV, outlet, fridge, mini split, and EV charger. Had it all planned out. (Will Prowse EG4 6500EX split phase system with EG4 batteries and 10kw of panels) Full order quoted and...

We own 3 1/2 acres on the North Fork of the New River in Lansing NC. Blue Ridge energy has terrible net metering policies and they want $15+ grand to run power about 800' and install a pole with a transformer. I would rather put that money towards an off grid system. Would love to hear some...

I'm gonna be testing an Anker 767 with NON portable fixed panels and I'm looking for panel suggestions to meet or overpanel the 1000 watt Solar input. The 60volt @ 20 amp box is difficult to find rigid panels to fit in. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In the process of converting my shop to off grid solar. Currently has 15 year old 18000btu Soleus mini split that works perfectly fine that heats and cools the 14'x40' bonus space above my shop. I'm debating buying an solar powered mini split (EG4 or Hotspot energy) or just buying a Growatt...

I've got a Delta Pro otw that I plan to use with our RV and to charge my Nissan Leaf+. My plan is to charge the Delta Pro with Solar during the day to 100% and then plug in my Leaf during the late afternoon and let the Delta Pro charge my Leaf for a few hours with solar assist thus offsetting...

I'm currently waiting for my roof mount Powerwall 3 system to be installed so I'm playing with some math calculations. My local utility charges 10.204 cents per kw and buys back at 5.833 cents per kw under their Solar Net Billing plan. No demand charges, no TOU rates, no increased base rates...

So I've read a ton of threads and watched hours of videos but I'm not fully understanding the voltage and mppt input limits of the MPP 6048 and how that would apply to wiring panels. So, If anyone has a suggested panel configuration for the LV6048 or can point me to a simple guide for...

Hi everyone, long time lurker and I've finally gotten serious and I'm gonna put my money where my mouth is. After 30 years open to the public, I'm closiing my watch repair shop and taking my business home. I'm gonna setup a shop in the bonus room above my 30x42 shop which has a huge 14x40'...

installing around 8k of panels on my shop to power lights, tools, outlets, a 12k btu mini split, and a level 2 EV charger. I've been pricing an EG4 18k system but I can't find anyone to install it. Our county permitting department is very anti solar and anti DIY. They won't even talk to me...

Hey Will, my son is in the process of applying for college and writing essays for college admissions and scholarships. One of his topics is the politics of EV adoption and the forces behind them. Would you be willing to answer a few questions at some point?

I did some testing on my unit and found the polarity reversed only while the unit was plugged into a wall outlet. I made a video to detail the test. Anker says they are aware of the issue and sent me a label to return my unit for a new one.

I have a single Lifepower4 battery hooked up to a Growatt 3000 LVM-ES with communication. Few months ago it started acting up overnight from self consumption where the SOC would drop below 5% and trigger a grid charge even though the inverter is set to OSO. Email SS and their response was to...
