Haven't checked prices, lately. It depends on what is on sale.
I wouldn't call it a lot. But yes, more too it.
The 6kxp is an off grid AIO. (It can't export)
I went with 2 18kpv’s and 6 power pro batteries. Completely off grid and very happy with the setup.
I have one. If you had them stack one in front of the other, your wall would fall down! These things are freaking heavy!
Is 12kwh of solar and two eg4 6000 inverts enough for 30kwh of batteries?
Is 12kwh of solar and 2 eg4 6000s enough for 30kwh of batteries?
It's purely $$$ and cosmetic's. If pretty matters (sometimes it really does!), then the pretty ones are more expensive per kwh, but produce a very neat and clean appearance. (See Markus' install, looks phenomenal on an outside wall). I think the EG4 Lifepower4 battery itself is marginally better than Ruixu, but the cabinet in the latter is much nicer and presents a much lower profile for 6 batteries and is slightly less expensive. Both work equally well with the big EG4. If you don't care about mounting pretty batteries on a wall, get one of the racks, better bang for the buck. If you want to make sure the system is fully single vendor integrated, run with the EG4 batteries, If the $500 is more important grab the ruixu's.
If you have two pie pans and a small oven is that enough to make pies with a bushel of apples?
I like your rack saves space and looks great. Where can I get 1
Anywhere, look around on craigslist/offer-up. About $1000 new with casters. Free to haul away in places.
Quite the exciting watch at first, with him bouncing them up and down on the forks.....yikes
Seeing those welded busbars just reminds me that you will be in a world of hurt if you have to send one of those back because something isn't working right.
Interesting.
This is kind of an anal thing for me as well. The most likely place for a problem in a battery case is around the seal points. Since the case is a plastic bucket with a seal around the top, should the seal fail, you minimize the leakage if you keep the bucket part upright. I've had a couple of issues with oozing electrolyte on (smaller) side mounted cells damaging cabinets and other wiring. (Gel cells in alarm/access panels to name one). In a perfect world it's not an issue. It ain't a problem, unless it's a problem.
Is it me, or does it look like the BMS is fixed in the install - the angled bus bar is welded to the BMS, right?? That seems smart from a MFG perspective, but crazy from a servicing perspective.
l was told that the POWER PRO will not work in conjunction with server rack batteries. Is that false?
Define what is meant by "will not work".
None of these companies will ever recommend that you do that. But you absolutely can.
