    Cheapest solar setup to heat desperate pensioners for 6 hours a day at 37w?

    Booce stand proud and thank you for caring. It is sad that the so called leaders of a country together with the so called entitled do not care and have no empathy. Quality clothing and bedding will go a long way to helping people. As long as they have food the body will generate heat and the...

    Buying from AliExpress within the EU

    Welcome Brian, There are many on Ali express that will take your money and sell you duds and a few on Alibaba that will do the same. Probably the best thing to do is find the name of the seller and do a search on here to see if anyone has left positive reviews. Take a look at Amy Wan from...

    Hi from Tasmania and Solar Panel brown staining.

    It is possible to use an inverter for your coffee grinder and small espresso machine but again it will depend on the wattage of the machines as to how much power you use and the size of the inverter needed. I do exactly the same when camping but I have 570ah of battery. My coffee grinder is...

    Hi from Tasmania and Solar Panel brown staining.

    If you are going to use the inverter for the fridge only then you are able to use a smaller one. Not sure what the current draw on this one is and I couldn’t see it on the 1000 watt one either. I was anticipating a large current draw on my 3000/6000 but after leaving it on for a couple of...

    Hi from Tasmania and Solar Panel brown staining.

    Welcome Pliny, I’m up at Port Stephens NSW. Firstly you will need to know what the wattage of your fridge and then pick an inverter to suit with some leeway especially if you want to use another appliance at the same time. Giandel have been reviewed by Will and I have a 3000/6000 that works...

    Using Tape to Compress LifePo4 Cells

    Agreed, except I stole some of the poly chopping boards from the kitchen which my wife is still looking for :ROFLMAO:. The blue, green, red, yellow and white also add some colour and the board handles make great handles for my caravan batteries.

    Hello from sunny England

    So on a rough calculation your feedback to the grid would almost cover the daily standing charge. Therefore you only have to consider the amount of electricity you will consume from the grid and whether it is cost effective as opposed to the cost of buying batteries. In my case it clearly isn’t.

    Which MPPT/PWM controller between sun panel and LiFePO4 battery?

    There is also a difference in imput voltage, 100v v 150v. Don’t forget there is a difference between the Victron smart solar and Blue solar in that with the former the Bluetooth is built in. Seems like a good price compared to Australia. Not sure why you would buy a laptop cable to connect...

    Which MPPT/PWM controller between sun panel and LiFePO4 battery?

    I use an EPEver Triron and I have no issues with it. Buy the Bluetooth module to go with it and set the App up on your phone and you can see all the data you require.

    Hello from sunny England

    Welcome, I have just had a 9.9kW system installed with an 8.3Kw inverter, but I’m in sunny (supposed to be) Australia. Back visiting the UK in August. First thing to consider is when you actually use the majority of your electricity because if you can use most of your electricity in daylight...

    Daly Smart BMS Help

    Hi Ozman, I had a similar issue at one time when I did something wrong but connecting to the wrong negative should not be a big issue. On some of the smart BMS‘s they have a removal temperature sensor. Firstly, take that out then unplug the sensor leads. Next disconnect the BMS from one of...

    Help with MPPT settings

    That looks like your inverter is reading directly off your panels, which it shouldn’t do, or your battery set up is wrong But with just two sets of 4 cells it shouldn’t be. Disconnect everything and work through the process of connecting it all back up in stages. Start by disconnecting...

    Help with MPPT settings

    You are correct as they do have the ability to have a lithium profile as per Pages 24 and 25 of the manual. Nice bright yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside of it. That is why i said to buy the Bluetooth module the the OP can then set it to lithium.

    Help with MPPT settings

    At 280ah that will be for each pack of 4 cells. I have the Triron and like the Tracer it can be set up for Lithium. Buy yourself the Bluetooth module and download the EPEver app for your phone. I will keep eye out and help u through it but I’m in Australia so there will be delay to answer...

    How can I fix/reset my Daly BMS soc ?

    I did say that the SOC should be accurate but in actual fact it isn’t really. Once the battery has settled from charging or discharging then you will get a more accurate reading. Don’t be too worried about SOC as your BMS will handle everything. An example of this is yesterday I was testing...
