I’m also very interested in this. Maybe Will could address this process since he has discouraged people from Growatt so broadly and praised MPP - that’s great….but how do we use them with these batteries everyone likes?

Hi, Boos, I’m wondering if you really have enough of a cost differential you pay for daytime vs. nighttime power? You didn’t mention where you are but here in NY, TOU (time of use) tariffs for residential are quite rare. Other places like CA, it’s common & high differential TOU prices. It is...

If you do a Sol-ark 12kW set up as grid-tied, the ATS function is built into it with a 4ms switching time, pretty much a UPS like performance. You can set the inverter mode as you need and your grid tie can provide what power demands are beyond the capacity. If you want it to prioritize serving...

I have a solar mounting company because it is a problem I like solving - you’re welcome on the time, no worries at all. If I were designing for myself and just cheap and functional, maybe this addresses your issues: 1) mount the panels to good quality polycarbonate sheet - not super heavy and...

Here is one suggestion: all solar panel output degrades in higher temperatures and conducting heat into your EPDM roof is also, uh, not great, so…create an air space between them! ANY AIR SPACE is going to do a lot for you because it cuts way down on heat conduction and instead allows panel...

Welcome! I’m also relatively new to the forum but started studying off-grid solar back when there was NO on-grid solar (1988) reading Home Power magazine, an awesome resource that didn’t make it to the YouTube age. Respectfully, if you are going to make videos explaining solar to folks, please...

I should have read more closely: IF you want to learn about this stuff, great; but if you would like to just enjoy life in your cabin and not spend time learning it, maybe consider an all-in-one battery-inverter-charger package and just buy that (I do not like calling them solar generators...

Agreeing with what Mister Sandals said, but offering a translation: 1) what do you want to power? How much power does that thing(s) (aka “load”) need and for how long and at what voltage? Translate to kilowatt-hours as a starting point. 2) Does your existing inverter provide the watts needed for...
