Unfortunately, the Aliexpress vendor never shipped the items (I ordered both). After going through the dispute process, I finally received a refund. Having never ordered from Alibaba, I decided to order 2 of the PZEM 025 from them and received both in about 3 weeks. These work fine, but they...

Wow. I am surprised as my experience was very fast customer support response and replacement units. My replacement units have been working 24/7 since receiving them with no problems at this time. I hope all ends well for your situation. ?

This requires the Raspberry Pi be connected to a supported inverter. I plan to connect my energy meter directly to my portable solar panels.

It turns out that Peacefair has a number of useful PZEM products, including THIS. Add various youtube videos, such as THIS, THAT, & OTHER and there appear to be many "how-to" examples for me to explore! (y) ?

Interesting, but too many features, requiring too much $$$.

I'm interested in collecting real-time watt-hour data from the meter and storing it on a network drive via wifi. I wish to graph the data on an Android device, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, etc to analyze solar panel production throughout the seasons. It will also help me locate my foldable...

While meandering on the net, I came across a few, commercial products ($$$) that had promise for my needs, but I also found an inexpensive favorite among "enthusiasts", who appear to have found ways to export the display data. The Peacefair PZEM-021 or (- 051) energy meters are very popular and...

THANKS for the info, but what I really want is to track watt-hours. ;)

After playing with my Bluetti AC300 / B300 / PV200 for the last 6 months, I have been using a PowerWerx wattmeter between the solar panels and the AC300 to check various panel outputs. It is a fine quick-check device. Now that I have scaled my panels to three, Bluetti PV350s, I can no longer...

On Thursday, January 13, 2022 at 1:43a PST, I received tracking numbers on the three B300 replacement batteries from the same nice lady. FEDEX received the batteries on Friday, January 14th in the City of Industry, CA and went to their Fullerton distribution center the same day. As I reside in...

Now that Christmas is behind me, I decided to get back to my Bluetti "activities." On 12/30/2021 at 5:41p PST, I sent an email to service@bluetti.com, describing my issues, which included a photo of the list of error codes on the AC300's display during initialization. I received a response the...

From 2020 through early 2021, I purchased various LiFePO4 batteries, hoping to build backup batteries for times when the grid was down. Due to the world-wide logistics issues everyone is facing and my personal experience with the "One Apus" adventure, I decided to try something different and...

Where is the California warehouse located? Can you will-call there as well as Houston?

After reflecting on the current state of cell availability, wildly fluctuating prices and the potential pitfalls of overseas delivery (been there), I have decided to go in a different direction and make my "One Apus" EVE Cells available for those who still desire the DIY approach. Please PM me...

Perspective . . . and I tend to agree with you Leo. As I approach problems with a "survivalist" or "prepper" perspective, I try to avoid single-points-of-failure. If you can buy two, three or four for the price of one (and both choices will solve the problem), I would consider buying at least...

Are you referring to Loctite 263?

Sorry, I was unable to add the "sold" message in my initial post. Best of luck in your search for cells. ?

Forget the waiting . . . it's time to chew through those restraints! . . . Sorry, I couldn't help myself. ? I spent one year in Pasadena in the early 70s, while I attended PCC. After transferring to CalPoly Pomona, I worked part-time at JPL (a fascinating place) working on the Viking 76...

The 16 - 272Ah Lishen Cells Have Been Sold & Delivered

Double OUCH!! ? ? I'll have you know that I met my WIFE in California and next month we celebrate our 40th anniversary! ? Touche.

OUCH! ?

As much as I would like to help you and all of those other folks patiently waiting for delivery of cells, I only have 16 cells. Plus, I promised Michael that I would not interfere with his business or customers. He does a great service for members of this forum and I want him to be successful...

Since receiving my wayward and much delayed "One Apus" EVE Cells and having chronicled part of their Journey, I no longer need the 16-272Ah Lishen Cells (see Unboxing as well) I purchased as backup, should my EVE cells have been lost at sea. Both orders were placed through Michael's Group Buy...

Going back to your initial post, I wondered if you had considered the pi-top4 (DIY Edition), which I just recently found? Although significantly more expensive, it has a lot of modularity and many additional accessories. I find it interesting. ;)

Now this is very interesting . . . and exactly what I want to do. A "Zero Export" system, a permitted rooftop solar install, and remain on my tiered utility billing system. I have NO interest in trying to cheat the system. What I am trying to do is create a "disaster preparedness" plan, so...

I am beyond impressed by what you have been able to do! Being an "Occam's Razor" kind of guy, I don't want to be pushed anywhere, but just want to pay my tier 1 rates and have an off-grid solar-charged battery to cover my excess power needs. My search continues . . . ☀️

OK, so what I "think" I see happening in California is an on-going effort to continually and creatively adjust taxes/fees upward for those who believed grid-tied solar was good for the planet :ROFLMAO: , while reducing their reliance on the grid (y), reduce their out-of-pocket installation...

They now have another version that is a "tad" larger . . . like 10,000Ah Winston.

Correct . . . we are a VERY large "family". Unknown. As my purchase was part of a larger group buy through Michael, he has been doing a GREAT job of hound-dogging the seller to light a fire under the freight forwarder to get our "supposedly good" cells, stranded in Kobe, on another container...

Unfortunately for me, the shipping container which held my 8-EVE cells was one of the damaged ones that was off-loaded in Kobe Japan. So, although the ONE APUS is currently moored at the Port of Long Beach, my cells are not onboard. My interest in the travels of ONE APUS ended tonight. THE...
