    Question on basic setup

    Yup, am aware. In addition to a built in limiter on the inverter, I have a Generlink (http://www.generlink.com/generlink.html) attached at the meter which prevents backfeed.

    Question on basic setup

    No dumb questions! Goal #1 - Just to play and learn how to offset (that is goal #1, I am charged 14 cents after fees, so savings will take ~12-15 years based on what I have purchased - but its fun too, I like to learn). Goal #2 - I already bought six 250 watts (lightly used) panels to scale up...

    Question on basic setup

    Thanks for the reply! I thought about 3 in parallel however I do not believe the voltage would be high enough for this inverter. Could you add additional info as to why the idea I presented would not work?

To get to a voltage above 22 and below 60-65...

    How to build a 48 volt 200ah Lithiom Ion Phosphate battery

    Lots of videos on YouTube about building your own. watch them. High level, you need matching even number of cells, people get them from eBay, Amazon or Alibaba.com. Some other sites have ready to build components too. Then you wire them up with a BMS. If you run 4 12v in series I believe the...

    SOK batteries

    Thank you for the reply, very helpful to understand this. So if we put this into practice, on a 24v 2.4kw (like the 2424) system a good , but close to max, solution would be two 12v Sok 100AH in series, which would keep the batteries at 100A continuous (series v parallel). Series being better...

    LV6548 does it support grid tie by plugging into AC120 outlet?

    Hi all, looking to start a system and add a battery later to a full sized home. From research it appears LV6548 would work, but what I cannot seem to find is if a sub panel is required or can I just lop off an extension cord and wire it into grid that way , similar to what Will did for the...
