    Bluetti AC180 remote access

    Can anybody who owns a Bluetti AC180 confirm that they can connect remotely with the WiFi support? What I mean by remote is not in the same location or on the same local network. Long explanation for the curious: I have a remote cabin with 100% off grid power and minimal internet access with a...

    Amp Hour (AH) spec - LiFePO4 vs Lead Acid

    Thanks everybody this is very helpful. I'm going to start with a "25kWh SOK 48v Rack Battery Kit" from Current Connected. Based on @Horsefly's numbers above: old - 400AH lead acid * 50% = 200 effective capacity new - 5 * 100AH LiFePO4 = 500AH * 80% = 400 effective capacity This is roughly...

    Growatt 6k inverter (want to use generator as "grid")

    Hardwired with "10/3 with ground Romex" directly from the Growatt AC input to a box on the side of the house that has a 30A plug "L-14-30" that I can connect my Predator Generator into. The Growatt 12KW has breakers for this AC input so no need for extra breakers.

    Generator for growatt

    Good question! I'm not much of an expert on generators so not even sure how I would do this.

I'm just guessing, but it seems like as the batteries approached full, then the...

    Growatt 6k inverter (want to use generator as "grid")

    I have a similar question regarding my Growatt 12KW unit. I'm currently using a HF Predator 9500 inverter generator which works fine but is entirely manual and uses gasoline. Looking for a propane home standby generator in the range of 8KW - 15KW that can auto start/stop with the Growatt...

    Generator for growatt

    Yes this was exactly my experience with an older Honda EB3500. The frequency was 62-63Hz as reported by my Growatt 12KW unit. After plugging in a halogen shop light, it slowed down just enough for the Growatt to start charging. I have since replaced it with a HF Predator 9500 inverter generator...
