Thanks for reply. You have inspired me to post my setup. I will post in the next month.

Great setup. Thanks for the information. Why did you drop the micro - inverters?

You can see how I have done the fridge. At the battery we have a mains transfer switch taking power from the grid socket through an 8 amp breaker. This is the primary supply. The battery is set up with an inverter for the secondary supply on the mains transfer switch. So when the grid goes...

How we did on our home was to use the light circuit (in Australia). We put a power transfer switch on that. On our supply side of the switch we put 2 x 2.5 KW of lifepo4. (240V AC). We then added ceiling light sockets and put essential devices on those. LOW power only. No microwaves, rosters...

Most interesting. Looks really good. Fingers crossed you get long term usage with minimal or no breakdowns. Lead Acid are too heavy for me.

Following you on this with interest. I am waiting on two buck converters from Amazon and one from Alibaba. Both listed in my previous threads. So by the looks I may be testing before you. As I have already fried a local $Aus15 - 3 Amp Buck Converter that was too small. There will be protective...

I have an Enphase M215-60-230-S22 inverter. Recommended maximum input power W 310 MPPT voltage range V 27-39 Operating range V 16-48 Looking at Doctorbass on Youtube Watch?v=GxSafeeUWB4&t=525s The battery input voltage has to be above the maximum MPPT voltage (39 Volts). ...But below the maximum...

If I am only using those two micro-inverters at night I will never break our 6KW limit. Good info on the relay I will put it on the positive side. I have stuck with 24V batteries as I find there is a much better (& cheaper) selection at that voltage. I will look at Smarthings - slow reaction...

Thanks. I have 13 micro-inverters from Queensland for $648USD all up. Two of them brand new IQ7's. Courtesy of our silly rebate system here. You can get a 6KW system installed for USD $2,800. Which means that people are dumping perfectly good 3KW systems cheap as the maximum you can have per...

Again...Thanks very much. Yes I have 2 x 24 Volt Systems. So I need to raise the voltage for one system. The buck converter I have ordered should do the trick. It can take up to 15 Amps. It has good range on the input side (10V ~ 60V) and the output side (12V ~ 80V). 95% efficiency. Yes...

This is great information. I appreciate your valuable time. So you are saying that the inverter only takes the amps it needs as per the voltage? Other posts say that the battery will fry as the battery will push all the amps it can into the inverter. Also (if you don't mind) - Do you think a...

Thanks again for your patience. My inverter is grid connected. I am looking to emulate a solar panel at night supplying from the DC batteries about 215 Watt 240 Volt AC Continuously 14 hours a night via the micro-inverter. Re the micro inverter being fried - the Buck Converter should limit the...

Thanks for the reply... very much appreciated My batteries are 24 volt DC and I need 40 Volts DC constant I think. Going off the Enphase M215-60-230-S22 manual. So the buck converter can ramp up voltage and control the current. The 40 volts DC will turn off MPPT. Which makes it easier to add a...

Has anyone got this to work yet please? I have a 24 Volt Battery (3.2 KW). I have ordered a Buck Converter from Amazon: Dasiter 600W High Power DC to DC Boost Converter DC 12-60V to 12-80V Boost Module Board Step-up Transformer. I have an Enphase M215-60-230-S22 inverter. Recommended maximum...
