yeah I am thinking a tablet - later she will be able to see more information when she is interested to see what is going on.
6 MWh SRNE ASF48100U200-H 10kw.

yeah, it is fun to watch the solar coming online early in the morning, seeing the solar picking up and over-taking the loads, then charging up the batteries.
Somehow it is just super satisfying to observe it all working.
Makes me smile every time.

I had a nearly perfect curve today.
I need more arrays and to stop posting crappy photos of screens ?

No worries, as long as people are learning and having fun I'm all for taking detours.
I clamped it twice and it idles ~100w. I was a little disappointed with this but I can't complain one bit since everything works so well, it's much better than the 135w of the TP6048. The additional ~3.6kw of panels and ~1.5kwh of battery make the idle barely noticeable...
Check out post 389 for charts since bringing it online, all good. The only issues were user inflicted when I forgot I had programmed a max charge current of 65a into the JBDs... At least I learned it reboots and keeps on powering loads.
I haven't tested grid sell back and have no plans to, I also haven't tested battery comms since I have the JBDs connected to SA.

I do not, there was a question about it back on post 118 but no explanation.
I'm sure a few of the experts here could explain it so us rookies could understand it.

Nice, what was ambient temp?
I actually just order a Uni T usb C thermal yesterday, I'll be sure to post some photos of it loaded up around 70% load.
I was impressed with the amount of airflow going into the intakes at the top and volume of air coming out the bottom. My hands agree with your thermal ?
78f ambient. I'm curious about larger loads as well but currently don't have mixh running off of this thing. I've got some nice solar assistant graphs coming also

Bus voltage is the high voltage DC bus inside the inverter, they sit somewhere in the 200 to 400 volt range depending on inverter. That's why it's not a good idea to be sticking your fingers inside these things, they can very seriously hurt you.

Is the SRNE rating 10Kw for both legs which would be about 40A per leg?
42OhmsPA
What's in a title?
Yes, 5Kw per leg, 10Kw combined. It's essentially 2 of their 5kw units stuffed in one box.
I was tempted to order 2 of the single units and run them in parallel since you can stack them, like the LV6548s.
@Mattb4 has had a great experience with their 24V versions, that gave me lots of reassurance in ordering the 48V.

I've got some really bitter sweet news to report...
Came home and batteries were around 40%, crap weather is forecast through tomorrow.
Bitter news - I'm using the grid to bring the batteries up a bit.
Sweet news - I adjusted 3 settings, in less than a minute I was charging from the grid and I didn't even notice a light flicker when I switched to utility.
I'm coming up on 1.5Mwh of solar production.

Nice. I have switched once (automatically) when my batteries bottomed out after three days of overcast weather... never saw a flicker or anything.
I've been tempted to fully charge my batteries from grid but really would like to try and get a full month and see the effect on my Xcel bill. Batteries have been hovering between 40 and 60% SOC.

I'm glad to hear the auto switching works well, I haven't tested that yet.
If it weren't for the forecast heavy downpours, heavy winds and frequent power outages in my area I would have let things be. I'd rather spend a buck or two using the grid than deal with hooking up the generator and potentially re-lighting the stoker stove. That reminds me I need to hook the stove up to the transfer switch and connect it to my 24v starter system, redundancy on top of redundancy...

If I could get 10Kw per leg with 2 in parallel, I'd be all over these units. The problem with multiple 5Kw units (4 needed) would be the consumption of the inverters.
