Thank you, Matt. Yep, just finding another source did it. Not convenient, but works. In my case, I'll get the cells fully charged and switch settings #1 and #16 back to solar only. This is hopefully a one time or periodic setup to get through a tough period.

Hi all. Long time MPP LV2424 user here. I'm looking for some ideas to help me with an issue I am having with charging via utility. For several years, I've been solar only. Recently, I've wanted to connect the utility to help me get over a daily charge/usage hump on my 560aH cells. I've not...

Is this the PowMr 5000w or 3000w All-in-one you are discussing? It doesn't just run on the Watchpower software like the LV2424s? I have 3 of those and they've been fine. I really just set them using my laptop one time and the monitoring I do is via the BMS...bluetooth on my cell. You can't do...

Of course. Big help, Rich, thank you.

Good recommendations guys. I actually have x3 LV2424's, and I do have a parallel kit (although no idea how to connect it). I have planned on having 3 separate systems powering 3 separate structures. I also don't mind the idea of using two of those units on those two structures, and having the...

I am all 24 volt and 120 ac'd out. 24v solar panels. 24v LiFEpo4 banks. Cabins designed to only need 120v ac. Simple. But I want to get and give more sun than my LV2424 is designed to do. I want to stack my 250w 24v panels to be over 4KW. Why can't I find a 24v SCC that can do this!? I want an...

So if he expanded his array, is he technically not overshooting his max VOC and isn't that the big no-no? Are we assuming the same adjusted peak for the VOC as the 73% wattage he's seen? I have the LV2424s as well, I've had this similar question at times.

That would be tough to put 18 250w panels together an remain well under 150v, the amperage would get out of control. The 3000 is designed for 3000w, no? I don't think it is the unit for me to use as my expansion gateway. Possibly their 5000, but what I am looking for essentially is a unit...

That may be great for me today, but would it support a potential 4kw+ array? Wired to bring 225 VOC?

I want the exact same functionality that the originator of this post is looking for. Your Delta H6 recommendation appears it will get that done much easier. One question though. The manufacturer provides a warning for anyone not using Tesla's Powerwall. I am currently using x2 280aH lifepo4...

Guys I have several systems off-grid now, each going a different direction on the SC homestead we are building. They're all the same, using all-in-one LV-2424s and those SanSolar 250w 24v panels, 3S3P (37.6 VOC [112.8v], Max current 8.27a [24.81a] ), charging up my DIY 280aH banks...the awesome...

That's awesome, never seen that before.

Thanks, my friend.

Great to know, thank you. It seems the clearest option is 2p8s, one BMS.

Well, I have a second BMS too. I think you are saying do a 2p8s arrangement...will the BMS work the same? Do you know if there is a way to do a 8s2p arrangement and connect a separate BMS to each battery pack?

Did you ever put this system together? I've been running a LV2424 to the very same 280aH pack, and the same BMS. However I now want to connect a second pack like you describe here, but I am not certain how the BMS connections will change from the diagram. Do you have any insight on that?

He did a video a few months ago expressing how much he makes off YouTube. At the time he said like 30k to 40k... rarely 45k. Today he said 80k in a later comment, but until then the only basis to comment was the information in his own video. That's were we got it from Gazoo.

Absolutely, this is true. We all do. You did nothing wrong at all giving some advice, to the contrary. In life every avenue should be examined in my opinion, weighed and considered and the best known decision made. But there are most definitely many directions to take, and some of the best ones...

40k a month though? If he's smart and practices good F.I.R.E technique, he could do that for only a year and never work again...at least not at anything he didn't immediately desire to.

Unless you are up to your eyeballs in student debt and not even working in the field you racked it up pursuing because our society has us deciding what we want to do the rest of our life when we are 18 years old and don't even know ourselves yet. Then it probably does more damage than good.

I think that most people in our culture think of taking a job or getting a job. That is, working for someone who in the past wanted to do something of their own, and then started a company. But many don't remember the remaining option. Being the guy that had an idea and made his own income...

I asked overkill about this very picture to bus question a couple months ago via text. He said it was just easier to draw. I have mine on the positive terminal at each connection. Working great.

I don't know about the 4.2v talk, that scares me a bit. But I was successful using 3.8 four times. It went pretty quick with that setting, no change to the factory leads.

The meter does show the Power Factor, and I thank you for teaching me about it. But it looks like I have to read it while running the test. I'll do it again in the morning. It has never shutdown like that unless operating that saw/vac combo. I don't know if you are familiar with Festool or not...

I don't know what the power factor is.

Thank you. I did some troubleshooting today, including doing the same tests on a second LV2424. They behaved the same. I don't have a thermal camera, but I took detailed notes on the wattage meter device, I have one of those. It went this way: Speaker, Fans: 252w Hi 350w 2.15a 119v Speaker...

Okay, I'll do that today. Thanks for your expertise and input.

On the inverter side.

Like which? Would they continue to operate normally under some loads and not others? Because thats what's happening.

Nevermind, as for the How-to part of my question. MPP sent me this:

Has anyone ever replaced or does anyone have knowledge if it is possible to replace the internal inverter fuse in an LV2424? For some time, I have felt like the unit cannot take the load it once could. It is currently not being pushed to or beyond what it was designed to do, yet it does a...

On each of my 8 cell, 24v 280aH packs (4) so far, it was clearly going to take months to years to get them to 3.65v when set that way on the charger. I only got them up to a "top balancing" point when I upped the voltage to 3.8v. Then it only took a few days... lingering at first, before rising...

The LV2424 shows these readings on it's display. I'm not certain exactly what it is telling me. You'll notice the watt and volt readings make clear that the stats are from the "PV" "Input". Makes sense, the PV is generating that many watts at that voltage, or at least that is the portion the...

I have that exact one. Pretty sure it's my fault, I'm asking more of a 2400w inverter than it was designed for. 1500w 12.5a Hepa Vac combined with a 1200w 10a Track Saw. If it is possible to parallel what I already own and have it get me by for now, I'd rather. Then I could get a larger system...
