    Megarevo RxLNA Discussion

    MegaRevo and Felicity will not work with each other, I have tried at length. Felicity won't say if any other emulations work with their BMS, and Megarevo won't release their protocol. The 8k unit does not, and never has worked properly in lead-acid mode, it does not calculate SOC at all, and...

    Zendure SuperBase V 4600

    I'm having the same issue, it will run ups, but not charge from grid. How did you resolve this?

    Off-grid backup power using hybrid inverters?

    I am in Costa Rica, same power system as Panama, same frequent interruptions! I've installed many of the Sol-Arks (or equivalent Deye based inverters) to run the whole panel, not just critical load. This does depend what your peak load would be, particularly in an outage where the inverter has...

    Planning a 15K solark install with 10Kw of Solar on Enphase Inverters that will be AC coupled to the inverter

    Also, if you shut the Sol-Ark off, you can't sell any excess back to the grid.

    Trying to understand Off-Grid vs On-Grid, PV and battery Backup

    I have used the Sol-Arks and the Deye base units in full off grid and grid interactive scenarios, all without grid feed back. I absolutely use them almost exactly as is needed in the original post. The new Sol-Ark 15k or GSL 12k will be the simplest install / lowest maintenance way of seamlessly...

    Do Hybrid Inverters pull from Grid/Solar/Battery at the same time?

    I agree! I have no regrets spending on my Sol-Ark 12k. I was looking at my notifications yesterday, and realize my system hasn't had a fault or reboot since June 2021..... I service a lot of different systems, but nothing "just works" like the Sol-Ark.

    calibration error

    On the screen of the ac200P, in the charge port sub menu, you can select whether it is expecting to see constant 12-14 volts (from car, this gets limited to 8 amps to not overload the 12v plug in your car) or PV input, which will take voltage up to 150 volts, 15 amps. Same port, but you must...

    Do Hybrid Inverters pull from Grid/Solar/Battery at the same time?

    GSL energy offers units similar to the Sol-Ark (based on the original Deye design), and they are now distributing in the USA, but at lower cost than Sol-Ark. Software isn't as sleek, but the hardware is solid.

    calibration error

    That port on the Bluetti gets used for both PV (solar charging) and 12v car charging, you must select which you are using it for.

    Inverters for split-phase 35kw peak system

    Unless you are running another transformer, the IVEM inverters will not be able to give you your split phase output, only 230 volt single phase. You would need the IVPA 5048 from Felicity for split phase output, but still don't get the dual AC input, though if your generator runs it's own ATS...

    Inverters for split-phase 35kw peak system

    I have used some of the Felicity IVPA inverter units (and the Felicity batteries) here in Costa Rica. For your scenario, i would recommend the Sol-Ark type hybrid inverter, especially considering the built in charge controllers and higher full system efficiency. They also have the dual AC input...
