    Battery Charging

    The battery should have BREAKER for over current protection, it will be enough to protect your system. but, MUST BE A BI-DIRECTIONAL DC Break, some battery supplier use AC breaker, and it will have huge delay to trip under over-current fault. and then, need a FUSE. Note, The most DC breaker is...

    Schneider LiFePo4 Build

    For long term use, 3.40V per cell is the enough voltage to charge LFP battery to full, the charging late is 1/10C rate. 3.45V per cell is the enough voltage to charge LFP battery to full, the charging late is 1/5C rate. 3.50V per cell is the enough voltage to charge LFP battery...

    Bricked xwpro?

    I have similiar experienced while upgrading firmware, it has stuck at 9x%, and reset by itself, and stacked in black status. but, my device had connected with gateway (insight home/facility), and xw pro is showing nothing (no led/display) like as turn-off, When I have power cycling (turn off...

    backup inverter for longer grid outages

    i am using XW pro with 30kWh for temporary backup, and using a fuel generator for long term back-up. I have 8kW, and average power usage is 16kWh/day, worst solar energy (cloudy & rainy days) is 6 days in my place, and storage demand is 106kWh (it means, I need 106kWh*110% to be independent from...

    backup inverter for longer grid outages

    Maybe a portable generator should be better, and 33kWh is too small I guess

    JK BMS poor quality and alternative?

    Unfortunately, super capacitor in the active balancer has the limited cycle life. If operating the battery pack in top-up position (most full status), balancer will cycle the capacitor too many cycles, and practically, can standing 2~3 years for 1A, 3~5 years for 2A. the super capacitor is not...

    Cell price drop

    I think, the current cost is around $110~130/kWh now, but, Cost will go down under $100/kWh soon, no need to hurry if not urgent. Factory cost is around $50~60/kWh in China.

    BEWARE: Enphase IQ7A micros may have misbehaving firmware that needs updating.

    I understand as you want a back-up batteries to save an energy at day time, and use it at night. Unfortunately, there is no cheap solution. Anyway, You are using Enphase system already, it is AC system. so, you need an AC Coupling solution. Basically, AC Coupling means, (1) switching box...

    BEWARE: Enphase IQ7A micros may have misbehaving firmware that needs updating.

    I feel, your problem is not an issue from the firmware bug, Two inverters have not reporting day from 27 Apr 08:06pm/10:56pm (I feel, some timezone issue) The data has captured on28 Apr 2020 12:24pm * you may need to fix to show the right local timestamp. Anyway, the 5 min production drop...
