I just noticed the Jackery connector says it connects the panels in series. I should have caught that last night, sorry! ?‍♂️ Mounting the controller inside should be easy-peazy.

The output of each panel is an 8MM barrel connector. They’d like to keep that connector as they’ll also occasionally use the panels with a Jackery solar generator in addition to the camper. They already own the combiner. I’m guessing using it would be the easiest way to run the panels in...

An acquaintance of mine is looking to connect three Jackery SolarSaga 100 solar panels to their new camper that has a Zamp "solar ready" port on the side. I'd appreciate any feedback on the proposed setup below, please. Thank you!!! Panels: Jackery SolarSaga 100 x3 Link...

Um, yes. There's a link to what he has in the first post in the thread.

If permitting is required, some AHJ only allow UL-certified/listed equipment.

Browsing to efestpower.com, it redirects to docanpower.com. Wonder if Libby just has an old email address? Def. shouldn't hurt anything to ask for an explanation.

I’m curious about that. Which AZ power company is yours?

Many home charges are “smart”. People come home, plug in, and charging doesn’t start until super late night/early morning when grid demand is at the lowest. Do AZ utilities not have TOU rate plans, where consumers pay more for electricity during the evening hours when demand is the highest...

Hope you're feeling better soon!

If you click through your Amazon orders, you should be able to view the 'Order Details' and see the "Sold by" information. A year after buying mine from Amazon, I needed to have it replaced. I found that mine was Sold by "inverters-R-US". While I did send them an email through Amazon's...

Googling around, I've run across several articles that make the point this one does: https://cedarmanagementgroup.com/north-carolina-solar-installations/

Is the ARB using the section below to justify their decision? If HOAs fall under what you posted, it reads to me like it says they can't deny you from installing solar totally, but do have a say on location/screening. "(b) This section does not prohibit an ordinance regulating the location or...

There should be a thread on the forums here with the user manual for that BMS. This is NOT for your BMS (it's from Overkill's) but the visual matches the description above (except I think they meant to say the red should be on your main positive, not main negative). For sure do the test...

From reading your other thread, is this energy audit for your 720sq shop?

It may not be so impractical, but with only "rough napkin math" done because the answers to questions below aren't known, nobody knows for sure. @pvdude's reply was interesting to me. Looks like his pump runs for about 10 minutes total a day and if I was guessing, the startup surge (inrush...

Lithium's longer life usually makes it less expensive in the end and they don't require maintenance like what you've described above.

I'm getting it today as well.

The two options below are what I'm getting from your post. Option 1 -- connect the inverter to the existing 50 amp generator input and only get one leg. Option 2 -- install a new 30 amp generator input that goes to a new breaker, then inside the panel jump that breaker to another breaker in...

Mounting the VSS 75/15 into my inTech Luna teardrop was supposed to be the easiest task of this project. Getting the 12V 280AH battery + Renogy 1000W inverter + Go Power 30A auto transfer switch all connected and mounted was a son-of-a-gun! I grabbed the VSS off my garage shelf tonight...

My house doesn't have any multi wire branch circuits in it, so instead of moving critical breakers to one leg (so they can be powered by my 120V iGen4500 inverter generator), I made my own generator cord that ended with a connector like below. In the connector, I used a wire to jumper L1...

Same. They're still listed at $149 on the docanpower.com website.

Yes, different employees selling the same products.

Do you have the shunt and controller networked and sharing information in Settings > VE.Smart networking?

This is his concern?

This sounds like it might have been where your last quote came from (based on the "expect higher prices" comment), but in case it wasn't: https://www.18650batterystore.com/collections/lifepo4-prismatic-cells/products/eve-lf280k

TSA info. Not sure if that applies if your flight originates in Vietnam. If not, I'd be surprised if the authority there didn't have similar rules. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/lithium-batteries-more-100-watt-hours

Which fuse box did you pick? Are you planning on running the fridge on 12V to skip the 15%sh power loss inverting DC to AC?

Looks like Cell#1 is in the correct position. :)

I'm new at this (did my first top balance on my cells two weeks ago), but I can't think of a reason why it'd be important to let the 3.50 run amps drop any more.

The Trends section there looks virtually identical to the iOS app. There’s an option in the iOS app to prevent the screen from going to sleep, BTW. Hopefully they add the new firmware feature mentioned in the thread below that saves 45 days worth of trend data on the device itself so Trends...

I've had a chance to use the SmartShunt solo (i.e. where the only way to monitor it is by connecting to it directly over Bluetooth and using their VictronConnect app). Like the OP, I found the Bluetooth range limited compared to what I'm used to, although I haven't had any "Cannot...

If you haven't already stumbled across it, I found some of the info in this top balancing resource useful. It has some comments on 3.60 v 3.65, etc. https://diysolarforum.com/resources/top-balancing-lifepo4-cells-using-a-low-cost-benchtop-power-supply.65/

Was curious if the charger was disconnected from the cells whenever the voltage was changed?

Have you seen @Will Prowse's YouTube channel where he opens them up and shows what's inside?

@Moleman65, if you haven't already stumbled across it, check out the "Vehicle Mounted Systems" sub-forum. There are a few good build threads there from folks with travel trailers.
