    Eve MB30, MB31, and prebuilt 14kwh packs

    Are you saying REPT is a lower grade brand, or the Rept 280Ah cells offered by many are lower grade cells? Docan lady said EVE outsells all other brands. Number 1 best seller, so I suspect the other brands have to compete in price.

    Eve MB30, MB31, and prebuilt 14kwh packs

    I was quoted $475 freight from China, 32 cells to TN. That puts Rept 280Ah around $66/cell delivered, but I am sure there are extra fees added at the end to increase price a bit more. What's crazy is they had Hithium cells at $42/cell. CATL starting at $60/cell. Anything not EVE is falling...

    Free shipping for a pallet of 365w

    The listing shows Pmax of 276W. I wonder if they are claiming 365W with backside gain. If so, that is deceptive marketing. Price is still not bad considering it has free shipping.

    Cell price drop

    Got a quote for Hithium 280Ah from Docan, China stock, $72/cell delivered for qty 48. Gobel is about $1 more per cell for their Battero/Rept 280Ah. sunfunkits continues to drop pallet pricing. Their Rept 280Ah are $92/cell delivered. Those prices are all for shipping from China. sunfunkit...

    Cell price drop

    Can you give some details on quantity for that pricing? Did they give an estimate on shipping (mainland US)? How are you communicating with them (alibaba or direct)? Thanks much. $71/cell is cheaper than the group buy days of 2019 and 2020. Wild.

    WATTS247 Black Friday Special

    I surprised that a 6048 can output over 6000W. My brother's LV5048 gets very warm in the summertime when he tries to output more than 3000W. Heat from the MPPT and inverter kicks the temps way up and eventually it reverts to grid to supply the load. The inverter is inside a conditioned shop...

    SOLD Radian GS8048A 8000 watt Inverter by Outback Power

    Don't forget to account for 30% tax credit on new solar equipment, so 50% off new is not unreasonable.

    Sol-Ark/China

    Where can you get split phase Deye for half the sol-ark? I bought a 7.6k Deye split phase a couple years ago and it was $4200 delivered. The comparable sol-ark 8k was around $6000 at the time. Today, the price delta is even smaller, if you can even get the split-phase Deye shipped to the US...

    Sol-Ark/China

    After this year's price drops, Sol-Ark is one of the most competitively priced inverters. I've haven't seen anything to support that they are putting an American flag over it for the sole purpose of a higher profit margin. Their technical support system is one of the best in the industry...

    Does anyone have a video on this solution in English? Or a website article/tutorial. In the youtube video it mentions zero export with or without battery backup. Looks intriguing. Jurgen

    4 LG Chem 8.5 Kwh EV Batteries for sale

    Have you discovered any straightforward way of taking these packs down to 7s? 8s and 4 volts per cell still puts it out of reach of most all-in-one inverters. There are only a handful of inverters that can accept 32v per module or 64v per 16s pack. I'm interested, but 8s is a real compromise.

    hvac help?

    As far as I know, all inverter mini splits have electronic expansion valve in the outside unit, so you don't have a liquid and vapor line in the traditional sense. The lineset will have a mixture of gas and liquid. This is different from a traditional split AC and heat pump where the liquid...

    Old unit off. New unit on cool. You should be able to find 5 lb canisters of 410a on eBay. I'd also check craigslist and facebook marketplace. I'm a frugal person, but unless you're desperate for the ductless unit to be topped off, I would wait to find some virgin 410a.

    hvac help?

    You could use a gauge set to send refrigerant from one unit to the second. The working unit should be turned on so pressures will be low. This will allow refrigerant to flow from higher pressure to the working unit. However, if the current unit is low on refrigerant, you need to be mindful...

    How to cut G10-FR4 insulators

    I am researching about the very same issue, except want to use 0.5mm or thinner FR4. On one forum, guys suggested using a metal shear and posted a link to this: https://www.grizzly.com/products/grizzly-12-heavy-duty-bench-shear/t27140 I found a fellow on eBay seller offering cut to size FR4...

    BlueSun Panels and Racking

    Would also depend on how you mount the panels. Two rails is typical. You could go three rails per panel to add rigidity. Do not all panel manufacturers list the flex strength of their panels? Don't forget that bifacial will have two layers of glass vs one layer of glass and a vinyl...

    330W Adani panels. New in Memphis, TN

    I would like to get larger panels for my pole barn, so I'm offering 25 panels for sale here. Never installed and I didn't take the tax credit, so these are eligible for the 30% federal tax credit. $150/panel. Pickup in zip code 38017, which is east of Memphis, TN. I would consider hauling...

    Hybrid Plug-In Electric Car - vs - Total Electric Car

    Wouldn't be unreasonable to assume all facets of American economy are subsidized. I would wager the subsidy is relative to the money spent/invested in lobbying.

    Hybrid Plug-In Electric Car - vs - Total Electric Car

    hybrid plug-in seem ideal for trucks where the miles/kWh is relatively low. I bought a Chevrolet Bolt in 2020 and wouldn't go back to ICE. I haven't seen a hybrid plug in at a decent price point to tempt me away. I tow a lightweight 4x8 trailer with the Bolt and it's amazingly versatile...

    Sunfunkits show their true color

    None of the companies selling $300/kWh server rack batteries has been around for more than a half dozen years. There is no guarantee any of them will be around half a dozen years from now. I don't believe server rack batteries have been around more than 2 years, perhaps, so there is very...

    Sunfunkits show their true color

    It really is the wild west in DIY solar industry if you're not going with off-the-shelf goods, and once-trustworthy companies like SFK make things even tougher. So how do we know server rack batteries use Grade A cells? Is that battery segment trustworthy?
