    Help with panel count and wiring configuration

    Hello, I bought a LV6048 knowing it has some voltage limitations, but I am ignorant of all the electrical talk I am not sure what options that leaves for panels. The LV6048 manual says it has two MPPT controllers with these specs: Max PV Array Open Circuit Voltage 145Vdc PV Array MPPT Voltage...

    As the Worm Turns, or some such stories.

    I am attempting to assemble a 48V system to put in a CONEX on my AZ property. I found the local guy with $35 240W panels so that is covered. I started researching inverters and batteries. I came upon the LV6048 at Will's reccomendation. Happened two places were having BF sales. Current...

    Black Friday 200A 48V systems under $700

    I have been getting alerts from AliBaba regarding 200A 48V server style batteries for under $700. I know there is the AliBaba/China discount and a delay, but isn't that half of what they are going for in the US from even the cheapest supplier? I did notice in this case the one I am most...

    EVE 280A Load Capacity Testing Help Wanted

    Hi guys....rather than branch off an existing thread, I thought I would try and figure this out here. As some of you know, I received 8 EVE LF280 cells that were presumably made first half 2020 based on our interpretation of the date codes and the assumption they didn't put old codes on new...

    To Daly or Not, that is the Question!

    I am building my first system. I bought 8 Lishens to build a 24V system and paired it with a 250A Daly. Before having built that system, I have decided to buy another 8 cells and will need a second BMS. Since I haven't used the Daly software, does it work well with two BMS's? I have been...

    Seeking Solar Panel Geek :)

    Here is the deal. Due to size issues, I have focused on a solar panel that meets my needs. As far as how many to buy and how to configure them is another matter. I am building a 24V system with the intent to have a 24V solar array, and battery pack. Am using a Victron 3000va 24/3000/70...

    DALY BMS adhesive on leads?

    I am doing the preliminary configuration of my DALY BMS (24V 250A) and for my purposes, I think I want the bat leads to go in the opposite direction. There are 4 screws holding each lead so I unscrewed the 4 screws and discovered the lead was stuck to the bus bar. The adhesive wasn't stong...

    Crude at this point, but my design needs scrutiny please

    Saw the great help others got here, let me show you my diagram as it is now. I suspect there will be comments on fuses and gauges, and every thing else too :) As of now, the panels are a bit uncertain as what I wanted wasn't available and then became available. In another topic, I will ask...

    BMS/Inverter cable gauge question.

    I saw a similar question asked but from another angle so I thought I would try and ask it from my perspective. I am going to be buying the Victron Multiplus 3000VA inverter, and for now, it looks like I will be pairing it with a 250A Daly Smart BMS. The BMS will be connected to 8S Lishen 280A...

    BMS sizing questions

    That is the kind of information I was looking for. This decision is two part. Given the Victron Multiplus 24v 3000/70, can I use those numbers to determine the BMS output that is needed? All I could find on the Victron manual is that they want a 300A fuse and 50mm cable. In my ignorance...
