I see what you’re saying now! Currently Off the generator I have 5 outlet ports. 4-120v 1-240v At 240v I’m maxed out at 30amps. That’s what the generator gives me. My eg4 48v battery charger is 18amps if I remember correctly so I’m not exactly sure if I could do that with my current...

4 hours usually per cycle lol please help if you suspect an issue

I use a 6kw generator with a 5 gallon gasoline fuel tank. My battery is a 5KWH eg4 LiFep04 If I run my battery down to %25 I can charge it to %100 on 2.5 gallons of fuel. I can usually do this twice before it’s empty. It’s about $20 for the 5 gallons. So it’s about $10 per charge. Not the...

Water heater is most likely ac and panels produce dc…how would you bypass the device that switches dc to ac?

I was wondering if angling them would help? Do you think it would?

Ahhh I see. Makes sense. We’ll we’re on the right track.

The woodworking shed got some rough cut siding cut from Hemlocks on the property

Now it’s reading almost 500watts 9amps 88v Would this mean that 2 panels are producing out of 6? I feel as if I’m missing something here

Hello fellow solar enthusiasts, I’ve got a head scratcher on this fine sunny New York day. I’m noticing that I’m using my generator to top My battery off daily and I’d like to fix that. I charge the battery to %99 SOC at night with the generator and by the morning it’ll be at around %70 SOC...

You can’t lol

Sounds great. It would probably work. Easier? That’s such a difficult question. So many variables of so many systems. Some people panels might be 100’ up on a roof. Easier for some? Maybe. Easier for all. No.

Makes sense to me. I believe the max charging amperage I can have is 80amps. Does that mean I can have 5s-10p? That’s 50 panels lol I’m not opposed honestly. That would be 175v 80amps if my math and knowledge is correct?

6s in cold weather will fry my charge controller. 250v max. Midnights solar has a neat little website you can use to figure it out. Inverter is a growatt 6k AIO

Growatt 6k yes thankyou!!!

More watts, I believe!

More watts

I have 6- roughly 35v panels. Currently 3s-2p. I want to Add more to my array. I plan on getting 6 more panels. Max pv input voltage is 250v. I had 6 in series before and I was in the 200-210v range. 8-10amps. Can I do 4s-3p? Thatd be roughly 140v input at 24ish amps? I’ll post pics of...

Sure am

Hello all I was able to get my growatt 6000t working properly every time I need it. I’ve been using it for about a month now with no issues. It’s an amazing feeling after a year to turn the lights on at night and not need a flash light or candle. It’s amazing to just sit down and watch a...

Hahahahahaha

Yeah just spit on it first to make it extra sticky

Holy cow. That’s so cool. This no-ox-id you speak of has the two qualities I’m looking for it seems like.

Has anyone ever used a type of grease or glue to cover the terminals on the battery? I’m imagining a product like a liquid electrical tape mixed with an anti corrosion gel? Questions. Is this something obtainable? Should I coat my terminals for longevity sake? The battery is in a shipping...

Woah lol that is impressive. I know 3m makes decent products but this blew my mind.

Hey where’d you get that sweet white box that I’m assuming houses all the wiring? Can I get a smaller one by chance?

I use lexel for glueing down retaining wall blocks. That stuff is great.

%90 of the time it’s faulty wiring on my end for myself lol thanks for the update glad you figured it out

Remove the outlet cover with the breaker in the off position. Start generator up and measure output from inside. Generators vibrate a lot and get hot. Two things wires don’t usually like.

I’m trying to figure out if my piers I’ve built are strong enough to hold my shipping container. The 45’ container empty weighs 5 tons. I have roughly 50 pieces of drywall, over 100 or so 2x4s, appliances, furniture etc etc. I’d say around 2 additional tons of materials inside. So 7 tons...

I definitely wanna try it out soon.

That’s pretty awesome actually.

What’s the battery voltage at? Does your system have a low dc cut off feature?

It’s so easy to do when everything looks the same. I’m glad you figured it out.

Ideas- -120 or 240v from generator?

I’m using bougerv lol that’s funny
