Hey just wanted to say I purchased 34 lf280k V3. 3 JK BMS. And other things it's been a great experience so far. This is the second time I've ordered from them and they've both been good experiences. And I have to order cross border so that adds to complexity. Video of the cells here.

Hey All Other than the fact that running 120V from inverter is less efficient than running direct from battery.... what are the thoughts on this style heater underneath a 1/4" aluminum plate that would be under all the batteries in an insulated box...

Ok. So my guy brain has always wanted to take my light bar and side by side and shine it on my solar panels to see what happens. Today after pulling the kiddos around on the infinite snow hill (the sled) Curiosity got the best of me! Interesting! I wonder if I wired up 10000 watts of led...

Hey guys. My growatt was charging from Genny at 80 amps. Then power went out. DC over current protect. Now growatt capacitors won't charge. See video. Only twenty hours on this thing!

Hey guys just had one of these in the shop. Quick research tells me it's a 48v lithium battery charger that also reverses to provide power to the crank via belt. Maybe this would be a good used alternator for charging 48V lifepo4 systems? some reading...

Hello I like the approach that the chargeverter is doing, except there are a plethora of other options using AIO inverters to do the same thing and use it strictly as a charger. Can you guys throw out options that are 48V 240VAC that I can use to charge my battery bank. Currently as in my...

Hey Guys, Thanks for reading first of all! :D You can see my setup here: and here: I am definitely going to make ALOT more videos to help those that are in need of a modern actual off grid living approach, i would not go back, its too much fun, which is why I am here! :D OK I need some...

Hi all! having a hard time finding a spec that I swear I read somewhere. What is the max load output from the sol ark 15k when using the gen input as a smart load output? Looking to add an inline series boiler for my floor heat that is electric powered from the smart load panel, currently...

Hey Guys! Can someone please double check my math on this propane vs natural gas comparison: Current propane prices used: $1.00/ Liter (we are in Canada) this is my average current delivered price for propane. Current natural gas prices used: $0.3592 / M3 In order to calculate this...

EDIT: see my post #10 for the video, I ended up going ahead with this and it is working well right now. Hey Guys, hoping you can help answer me a question here. I have a sol ark 15k currently OFF GRID. When my home standby generator kicks in (champion 8.5kw stand by very low THD, inverter...

Thought it might be cool to look at all the other ways people track their solar days and for others to see what the other interfaces look like. Post a graph of your most beautiful solar generation day and tell us what software you are using! This is from the love it or hate it Powerview, I...

Hey guys, my question is simple but I can't seem to find the answer. If my hot water tank has two 3000W elements on 220v, I have a solark 15k so i want the smart load feature to heat the water tank when excess solar is available. if only 3000w or less or more is available it should still...

Hey guys just finished my first install. 4 banks lifepo4 280AH cells Solark 15K 4 chargery BMS 10700 watts bifacial solar currently. Govt grant for 5000 more in 6 months or so. Wired in anticipation for that. Pictures of array to follow when there is daylight. I tried to keep it as safe as...

Hey For all those have ventured down this road before. I know that once my solar is done charging my batteries (off grid) all the extra power that it is producing is useless. i'd like to make a PLC circuit that can tell when the batteries are in float charge state, so that it can turn on...

Hello everyone, i've tried to search around for a few days but can't find the answer to this. I have 3 growatt 5000es-us (from sig solar), and then another 5000es-us strictly for generator input to charge the batteries. Then i have my victron 100A auto transformer, and i have a growatt auto...

Hey Guys, i am still learning GOBS of information, and i'll be making videos when all is said and done so people don't make the same mistakes i do. #1 DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING, until you have a full GRASP of what each product is doing and its purpose! Can you help me possible solve this...

Hey guys getting ready to hook up my 48v batteries and get wiring setup for use this summer. My entire house will be off grid, all the heating loads, cooking loads, drying loads will be from the propane or wood heat sources. so the loads are not too high, the biggest load will be a senville...

Hey Guys, I wanted to create a separate thread to probe around and see how people are using the sol-ark smart feature to store energy overnight that doesn't involve batteries. What is the smart feature: It is a feature that enables a load output to kick in once the batteries are charged and...

Hi guys, the plan is to do a 10KW solar array, with a Solark 12kw inverter, as well as a natural gas whole home generator. This house will be "off grid" electricity wise, but "grid tied" as we will have a natural gas line only to the house for all heating, cooking, and drying appliances.. This...
