    Inverter/Charger - Obvious to someone just not obvious to me

    I’ve got an inverter/shore charger combo and I’m trying to wrap my head around how to maximize solar usage from a separate mppt charger. Obviously if my solar power is sufficient 24/7 I can simply leave the inverter/charger unplugged and rely only on solar to drive the inverter. But when I...

    Anyone who can report on using a MPP 2024LV-MK? Maybe it’s too new? http://www.mppsolar.com/v3/catalogs/PIP-LV-MK.pdf

    Bluetti AC300 takes on MPPsolar and Growatt (will a DIY battery be possible)?

    I’d love to see Will review this upcoming device (he has already been running the B300 batteries). From the press release: “The AC300 is entirely modular with the main unit housing the 3000 watt pure sine wave inverter. Each AC300 needs to be paired with at least one 3072Wh B300 battery but can...

    Final verdict on the MPPT as a faster charging input from a vehicle’s battery?

    Many portable power stations offer higher maximum wattage MPPT solar charging than through AC bricks or cigarette lighter inputs. Sometimes as high as triple the watts and therefore much shorter charge times. Just when I think it has been concluded one shouldn’t use MPPT input directly from a...

    AIO + Alternator = Pretty simple Vehicle 2 Home solar backup (and $ opportunity)

    After days of full time digging I found these detailed schematics with what I think is the best current version of an alternator driven Vehicle to Home/RV arrangement. The diagrams are from a Victron distributor showing how to integrate an All In One (AIO) with an alternator for a string of bad...

    Will’s video & the holy grail of EV/hybrid vehicles as simple backup generators

    It’s amazing to me that Will posted this video nearly two years ago and the portable power industry seems not to have responded. As far as I know every EV/hybrid vehicle with a traditional 12v battery, in addition to a traction battery, can attach an inverter and pull at least 1000 watts...
