Thanks, I saw that Will mentioned that in his video review of this product. But like he says solar panels are cheap. Living in Arizona there are plenty of new and used outlets for solar panels.

Thanks much for the input. The EG4 looks reasonable priced. This gives me a starting point. Now the budget and design. Like you said it doesn’t seem to difficult.

Not sure if this is the right spot but here it is. I am in the planning stages of bringing in 2 - 20 foot shipping containers to my property. One will be for storage with lights and a couple of outlets. The second will be for a small wood shop, most likely the largest load will be some type of...

I will find out on the 11th, but I believe this is a closed loop system and no pump. Something similar to the attached diagram.

Relief valves (safety valve) on hot water tanks are a must as if the relief is plugged or fails the results are catastrophic. All tank hot water heaters come with a relief valve. I have never had a home with an expansion tank on the domestic hot water Supply, only on a home with a hot water...

"Why do you think you need an expansion tank on the system?" Don't know hence the question. I am unfamiliar with hot water solar and need to understand requirements and how they work. So it is just a simple question. But there also is a capped stub on the piping system that makes no sense. Hot...

Thanks, but as far as documentation the place is empty. Myself and the inspector did not see any electric or pumps to the solar water. Like I said in the opening I will just have to wait until closing for further details.

The wife and I are buying a house with passive hot water solar for domestic hot water. We have not closed so I don't have access to answer detail questions. The owner has passed so asking questions will not happen without a ouija board. I have a couple of photos and a drawing that I think...

Marion is a great guy I have bought batteries and solar panels from him. But what is more important than what he sells is his knowledge base. He is an expert in wind and solar installs across the globe.

This process takes a while to get thru. I just finished another week of a voltage increase to 14.1 on absorption. Still no rebooting issues. It will be at least another two weeks before I report back with new results. I need to make a trip without the RV so no changes until I get back. Just as...

Still going thru voltage increases waiting to find the failure point. Up to 14.0 Absorption, Float still 13.6. No issues at these settings.

The first two tests are positive. Meaning that the Multiplus-II did not shut down during the Bulk, Absorption and float cycles based on the settings recommended above. Base on Sunshines suggestion I will start to increase and see what happens. One more question. How hot should the Multiplus-II...

Today I have the opportunity to load up the batteries and drain them down. First is to test the adjustments made the other day and see what if anything changes. One step at a time. If I change too many things at once I won't know what made the change.

What device is reporting % SoC? Victron 500 AMP bluetooth Shunt. I will start tomorrow with the test of your recommended setting. I just changed to them. What is the charge amp setting on the Multiplus? 120 AMPS Once the bulk and absorption cycles are complete the unit does not reboot...

I am having issues with my Multiplus-II 12 3000 120-50 2x120v randomly rebooting. The system 50amp shore power, Onan marquis gold 5500 generator, no solar, 4 - 100 ah lithium batteries. The typically scenario for the random reboot, regardless of power source, 50amp, 30amp or generator. After...

It should be 50amp. oops

Okay Larry I have read this thread several times now and still somewhat confused on what you are trying to do and the responses that folks are giving you. A normal 50amp RV circuit comes into the RV with 2 hot wires, a common and a ground. Each hot is 120 volts for a total of 240 volts at 100...

Is not planning part of the knowledge gathering process? I was a natural gas distribution and transmission pipeline designer for many years. There was no room for do it again. Yes you do learn from mistakes put I have never had the money to do things many times to get it right. My dad always...

Why not just ground deploy them or put them on ground mounted racks? Cable is cheap.

NascarGuy, did you ever get this issue resolved? I have a 2007 Damon Outlaw 3611 and am getting ready to pull the trigger and buy one of the Victron 12v/3000va/2x120 inverters. But want to make sure that this is the right move.

I noticed that you solar panel mounting that you used hand knobs instead of bolts. Whether you did this for convenience or because you tilt the panels make sure that you have a cotter pin or something like that so the knob does not loosen all the way out. A friend of mine lost a panel off of his...

I think this answers the question on the 2*3 I didn't find anything on the 8-10 AWG

I have used plastic cable covers with adhesive backing. I got mine at Home Depot or Lowes in the electrical department. Not sure if they are UV safe most likely not. But it worked well. Never came off or fell apart in two years.

Have you contacted Growatt technical support and have they run thru the diagnostics to help determine the issue? You also should buy one of these or something similar. These are good for both AC and DC testing...

I got confirmation from the owner that the cases can be mounted in any position.

This is where one should have a story board that is identical to the space or Use the story board and then mount in the identified space. Like you say. Build everything out on the story board where there is working room to move around and move components to better locations. We all learn with...

I try to do the same but when dealing with large gauge and short runs of cable that task becomes more difficult. I have also found that on some of the breakers if you slightly over tighten the mounting screws the plastic will fracture too. If you try to mount the breaker to an uneven en surface...

HRTKD This basic diagram has been posted since the 14th you should have said something a week ago, LOL The rub I have with circuit breaker is that with these larger cables 1/0 and up is that they put a lot of pressure on the small studs and plastic frame and I have had them fracture in the...

Denver had a break in the weather Tuesday and I got the other 2 solar panels up and operational. Now the only thing left is 2 more batteries. Attached is the latest as built diagram of the system.

Stress test one was successfully completed yesterday and today. 8:30 AM unplugged from shore power and we went about our business for 24 hours. Although we didn't have a lot of sun we were still charging. Cooked dinner in the toaster oven, 25 minutes at 350 F, Used the induction cook top at 360...
