    Under-Bench Mounted Heatpump for Running of Solar and clearing roof

    I plan to buy one ... they have a big caveat on the "dehumidification" mode, saying not to use it all the time.... and that is bugging me as it should bug anybody who lives in a humid place. Thoughts on this? It is also NOT an inverter unit... it is either all on or all off.

    Scotty 3kW Bidirectional DC to DC Charger to handle charging from alternator for my motor home

    I am thinking that this new product is just what the doctor ordered to allow me to charge my lithium batteries using my bus alternator. This may be a disruptive game changer product. Pl watch this video I am combining it with 20kWh NCM Samsung Bank (with room for 10 kWh more if necessary...

    Lt.Dan Here is the 48 volt version of the same unit.... https://www.premierproducts.net/order/premier-air/turbo-2-12v-and-48v.html along with power usage and temp delta... and heat chamber test which I don't quite understand. Recpro is only selling the 12 volt version

    Mr. Ham.... I am confused by this.... and it is relevant to me because if I go this way my problem is that I have a 120 volt single phase 5.5kW generator which I want to eventually replace with batteries alone charged by solar and alternator .... but until that is done (say a year) I want to...

    Cinergi's 28 kWh / 4 kW Solar / 10 kW inverter RV build

    Mr. Cinergi, I have two questions which I would love to hear your thoughts on. 1) Since you do not have a generator, why quattro over multiplex? 2) Do you have more batteries than you need by a large factor 3) If you had only 120 volt needs would you have gone with a single larger 10k...

    Revised Diagram for Comment: 24v RV build; 240v AC mini-split

    Ditto. I have looked at this hard and no complaints with 110 in rv's.... I still may go 240 because of lack of room for two compressors

    Dear Mr. Saint. I have looked through your list and it is nearly identical to mine. I have a question: and this should be in the beginners page where I belong. Here it is: Don't you need the AM Solar Smart Phase Selector (SPS) along with the quattro? I have read the manual ten times and...

    Actually starting to look better provided it fits under my tilting panel assembly. If using the ac, the panels would be tilted up anyway. Mr. Zwy or anybody else reading, have you located a split with a horizontal condenser on the roof???? That is what I need and want. If you know of any...

    RV Remodel: 28KWh LiFePO4 + 3KW Solar + 2 Quattro 48/5000 Split Phase

    Charles, I am planning the nearly identical system, probably 3 months behind you. I can't wait to see what the experts here say.....and then to watch what you do. Right now I have decided to focus on 24 volt roof mounted air conditioners because I am not yet comfortable with a 240 volt mini...

    Powering Three 24 volt battery driven roof mounted rv air conditioners

    This was hugely helpful. Thank you.... Guys, is it safe to say that the high SEER mini splits will always deliver more cooling than roof mounted DC air conditioners for the same amount of energy at this time? I maybe should abandon my quest for the perfect dc unit and make a mini split work.

    Powering Three 24 volt battery driven roof mounted rv air conditioners

    I am considering replacing my three 120 volt dometic 15k btu air conditioners (approx 1500 watts requiring the generator) with these 24 volt dc units which have a maximum draw of a little less than 1400 watts each (half that once the temperature is stabilized). The pdf with the specs is: I...

    DC Air Conditioner (minisplit/rooftop/anything)

    I believe the 3000 unit has a max typical continuous draw of 700ish watts when at full power.... Mr. Wu or somebody with experience could confirm or deny.... I think that is what the Nomadic equivalent of the 3000 specs out at.... although I am far from an expert and not even sure I am not...
