I am trying to figure out how to use the Victron 12/24-220 SBP with my Giandel 2000/4000 PSW inverter that runs my off-grid shop. Before the flames, I know it says, "Do not hook directly to a device with capacitors, such as an inverter." That said, I saw in one of Will's videos him doing this...

I used the contact form on the Chins site and was emailed back very quickly, a good sign. The email address is from: chins_service@163.com. Is this correct? The reason I ask is that I contacted them as they 9ffered a 10% discount on their website if 8 gave them my email, so I did. Never...

Trying to help a friend wire the off-grid solar for his cabin. Have been pouring through the manuals but can't find the answers I seek. As stated he is using an MS4024 inverter coupled with an MMP 250-60s e-panel. His generator only outputs 120vac. As I look at the wiring diagrams for the...

I'm trying to help a neighbor with a small 12v solar system for his cabin. He ended up running his batteries down after blowing a fuse on the cable between the SCC and the batteries. We think he may have blown the fuse by using a battery charger ran off a generator while the batteries were also...

I just hooked up this Epever Triron 4210n and I'm getting a flashing green battery light as well as a flashing "!" . The book under troubleshooting lists this combination as battery over charge. I'm using 4x6v - seriesed to 24v, GC2 FLA batteries. I set the battery type to FLA, so assume...

I just changed out a failed Magnum Energy MS4448AE Inverter/charger with a nearly identical inverter/charger, Magnum Energy MS4448PAE. The only difference being the new one can be parralled. Hooked it back up to the ME-ARC50 Advanced Remote Control. Went through the start up procedure and all...

I thought I was beyond beginner level.... but apparently not! Background, I had 1500 watts rooftop solar, feeding my Schneider 60/150 SCC, 48 volt lithium system. This is 250 watt panels, 3sx3p. Being on the roof we found that during the winter problems arose when 2"-3" of snow covered them...

Just saw an ad for these... https://fourvolt.com/products/lifepo4-battery?fbclid=IwAR09rARkAcGNVlsbsWBuOnQD8YQGiw_nYTCFHLBblFxfcVrZo0nDcxYMuA4 100ah @ 12.8v for $379.00. Built in BMS and bluetooth for monitoring. If they are any good what a deal!

My plan is to add 3 more panels to my current system.... right now I have 6 x 245 watt in a 3s2p configuration. My plan is to add 3 more 250 watt panels that have almost exactly the same specs. It is the top end I am concerned about.... possible max output. If I understand mixing panels...

Have some off-grid cabin friends who are currently terribly low on solar panel wattage. They now have 4 new Rolls Surette 6v 445ah batteries wired for 24v system. Where they live in south central CO we get about 6 hours a day usable sunlight.... but they do have a bit of shading periodically...

I'm using a cheap (there's the problem! ) SCC, it is a CMG 20A controller, here is a link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZZMDSQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is supposed to be temperature compensating and able to handle the voltage/amps of the panel I am using -...

So, I've never considered buying used LA batteries, but found 2 Vmax 6v, 225ah AGM batteries for $50.00 for the pair (hmm first clue?). Called and talked to the guy... his story - Had 4 batteries and they weren't cutting it, when they needed replacement he bought 8 Vmax, 2 of them wouldn't fit...

After searching the archives I can't seem to find a similar scenario. I want to be able to power the cabin off our generator but bypass the inverter/charger because in the winter there will be times the lithium modules will be below freezing. Unfortunately this may be a little more complicated...

So new to the forum, moderator suggested I post picks of our system. Here is what it is, pictures following: 1500 watts roof top solar, Schneider 4048 inverter/charger, Schneider 60/150 SCC, 4 x 2kw 48v Chevy Volt modules powering off-grid cabin in the Rockies. Our desire was for a robust...

Hi all, have enjoyed perusing this forum thought I would join! Certainly not as experienced as many of you, but always open to learn or help when I can. Winter mostly in north central AZ, summer at 9500' on the east side of the continental in souther CO. Cabin in CO is off-grid with no option...
