This looks really good. So much fun in that lot. It is looking more like this is a whole area ripe for ideas. You guys have so many. 16 distinct power levels - WOW. Looking at various videos, in this area, the devices being created are getting better & better.

Nice. Who wouldn't @ AU$2 - the postage is AU$4 . I hope you ordered a few at that price. The long time wait is agonizing.

I have written to The Electric Viking in Melbourne to see if he is interested.

A lot of work there - great insights.

Dave wrote back & said he cannot do it. He has too much work on & family commitments. I offered to pay for the 6,400KM round trip including his fees, accommodation & food. No luck. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for this. It is assisting me to gain more knowlege & understanding.

Looks quite hard, but fun, to get this solved.

OK. Was worth a shot.

OK. That is difficult. I notice in Australia the energy meters calculate by the 1/2 hour to one hour - not by minutes. So if you use 1 KW at the beginning of the hour & put back 1KW before the end of the hour the meter will show zero consumption. I think it would be the same in the UK. Please...

Yes I tried various PWM devices. They all got too hot or fried. Just to be clear I am not sure what I was doing. Looks like you have the same MicroInverter I have. You can just plug it in to the bench top power supply without the PWM. Set it at 24-29V & 8Amp. You can ramp it up from there. I...

I am working on a solution to this - I think I know what I am doing. 2nd hand MicroInverters are dead cheap. If ever one blows just replace it. IMO Once we have a list of MicroInverters that work users can buy any on the list. This is hoping that this idea works and we get a section under...

The first battery setup has 5 meters of 5.6mm cable (Pic 01.) Then 0.5 metres of 2.4mm cable (Pic 02.) The second battery setup has 1 metre of 4mm twin core cable. (Pic 03) Then 0.5 metres of 2.4mm cable (Pic 02.) The second battery setup has .6 metre of 4mm twin core cable. (Pic 03) Then 0.5...

I don't think I understood what I was doing - the first Boost Converter was dumb luck I think. But at least it encouraged me to go on. This is the mistake I made. I should not have tried to calibrate it to the MPPT / Inverter. This is a bridge too far for my understanding. I kind of get it...

Much Appreciated. OK. I hope their fears are unfounded especially if they operate at the lower end of the operating range. I can't wait until others test. I will try to test other MicroInverters also. Maybe we should have a list of MicroInverters tested so others can see what works & what...

Unfortunately I don't. On the bench top power supply it stays on the amps & volts I set. Yes it does. I use my bench-top power supply to check my inverters often. I have run the inverters all night no problem. This has not been my experience. I found the DCDC boosters flaky. Having said that I...

Much Appreciated. OK. I hope their fears are unfounded especially if they operate at the lower end of the operating range. I am keen to see others test this. I will try to test others also. Maybe we should have a list of MicroInverters tested so others can see results on each type. OK...

A big thank you for this comment. It makes me feel like my (albeit kind of misguided) work may have come to some good validity - after waiting a great deal of time. You and a couple of others have shown good interest which pleases me no end. I just hope it all stands up to scrutiny.

Is it stuck in off grid mode? https://www.electriciansforums.net/threads/solis-rhi-3-6k-48es-5g-stuck-in-off-grid-mode.204735/

I had not realized this may be a problem. I use dedicated Ampton LiFePo4 chargers designed by an ex Schneider technician Frick. I also have no problem with the Victron Blue Smart Charger. I thought maybe the 20AMp fuse & wires I use might create some resistance to the initial inrush. I will be...

I have measured 4 MicroInverters here are the voltages: 0.014 0.022 0.077 0.066 Thanks my understanding is improving - I think. I use the 4mm sq twin core solar cable to the Anderson Plug. Then I use 20Amp general purpose wire. None of it gets hot at all. It, now, makes me think this might...

I really appreciate You & others assiting me. OK. Thanks I get it. OK. This is why the Victron Smart Battery Protect did not work. I have a separate Victron Smart Battery Protect design that has a relay. It works really well. My later MotorMate design was to reduce complexity. I could do the...

It's in Phillipinio but comprehensive. He uses some English words

OK. Many Thanks for assisting fafrd. Sorry I misunderstood your question zanydroid. I cut the DC side. I don't use signals to control anything. First - the timer Switch turns the DC on & Off. (It has a relay in it as per pic below) _The first timer runs 14 hours. _The second timer runs roughly 7...

Ahh. OK. I use Microinverters on my roof. So all is 240v directly off the panels. So I charge my batteries during the day off my 240v power. Then I turn on the microinverters at night. A number of times I have left the timer on all day and the microinverter has run 24 hours even with the...

B There is no surge. The MPPT? seems to fill the microinverter slowly. After about 5 minutes the green light comes on on the Enphase & it fires up. Enphase uses microinverters on their battery systems. They just stack them together. I have tried resistors. They just get really hot & make no...

The Enphase M215 inverters I use. You can connect directly to battery. No problem. I have other posts on this. .

I hear you. Other posts on this & other forums said connecting the microinverters directly to the battery would fry them. So I was trying to control the current. All my inverters are connected directly to a 24v battery & are perfectly fine. I have had one working with a buck converter for...

I hope you had some luck finding this.

I hope you managed to solve this. . https://diysolarforum.com/threads/growatt-inverter-fault-4-help-needed.60294/

Some tricky questions there I don't have a clue on. It you're renting maybe the landlord would do it or at least contribute. At least you can take the Delta Pro generators with you.....If you have to move.

Any in here? https://www.directindustry.com/industrial-manufacturer/multi-strand-cable-131801.html
