I have been nervous about the solar panels on pallets. But they are sheltered by winds from a couple directions. I have had some 50 mph winds and they have been fine. I live in MN so the panels are exposed to a variety of weather. I do have roof mounted solar and 28 panels on a ground mount...

Commercial beekeepers store honey in 55 gallon food safe drums. The drums weigh about 700 lbs when full. Almost all honey granulates. So overtime the drum of honey into a big sugar cube. Gentle heat can take the granulation and liquefy the honey. At that point the honey can be pumped. To try to...

YouTube video MPP2724 inverter with 2 - SOK 12v 206ah batteries I use the generator to pump a 55 gallon drum of honey

I emailed Min from SOK battery about the 24 volt battery about 6 weeks ago. He told me end of July 2021 and that is what his website says. Now it is near the end of July. I emailed him again to check on any updates. Now he is saying end of August to early September. I was having high hopes to...

Call or email Overkill solar. They are very helpful and will give you the proper answer. Overkill solar online manual also show wiring diagrams. I think william is right about amperage of the BMS has nothing to do with amp hour. It is about amperage created by the solar or grid input that the...

I am planning on putting together a build video showing the assembly in more detail. My battery works ok, but if you are looking at running a refrigerator and some other components, maybe 8 Fortune cells for a 12v or 16 cells for 24v. A 24v system runs much better than a 12v. The amperage...

The maximum charge current is 80 amps. So I figured that was my limit. The 200 amp fuse is for catastrophic failure. My opinion of pushing these systems to their upper limits may give you premature breakdown of your solar components. Seems to me, running a system up to 80% of the max would be my...

This is a YouTube video of my Growatt 3000 watt 24v solar generator.

If you buy an all in one inverter, that is what you use. Your charge controller is out. Very easy for a new solar user to purchase something, only to find out later that it might not fit their system. After many years in construction, the thing I learned is to never try to build around an...

For the money, it is hard to beat the Growatt all in one inverters. You can buy more efficient setups, but then you are getting stand alone charge controllers and inverters such as Victron. Victron is efficient and a top notch product but three times the money. You would be better off trying to...

Yes, I think you are correct. My mistake. Check out Will's video on making a battery using multiple batteries in parallel and series to make a bigger battery capacity without increasing voltage.

I think you are over thinking this a bit. First if you are using sixteen cells with your battery bank you need one 16S BMS not two 8S BMS (Do not use the 2 - 8S BMS on 16 cells). The numbers you are throwing out there are all maximum scenarios. Like the charger for instance, yes it is rated for...

Congratulations at giving this solar project a try. I think you have to realize that all of this power does not come in to the unit at once. The power coming in to the inverter is limited by how much solar actually is coming in. With the VOC of the inverter at 145vdc, you are a little limited on...

I have a Growatt 3000 watt 24 v inverter with 8s - 100ah fortune batteries. This is a mobile solar generator. I am using a 100ah Overkill solar BMS. I have it almost done but I am a little confused on my setting parameters. What would be the settings for 85% charge and 20% low voltage to program...

I have a grid tied system, 50 Panasonic panels 16.5 kwh, with two Solaredge inverters a 10kw and 5 kw, with optimizers on the solar panels. 32 panels on my pole barn and 18 panels on my garage. The system works great. The thing I don't like is no power if the grid goes down. My question is this...

www.mtsolar.us My 16,5 kw solar system this was the original build. But now I moved the panels off my barn to the ground mount

I put in a 16.5 kw solar system with Panasonic panels, about a year and a half ago. I put panels on my garage and pole barn roof. I live in Minnesota, so as you know, it does snow here on occasion. I do not have the ability to clean the snow off my pole barn panels as the barn is too tall. Also...

Are you happy with the radian inverter? Has it been reliable?

Check out MTsolar pole mounts. https://www.mtsolar.us/ The panels can be adjusted for seasonal solar angle. Doing so, results in higher solar production.
