    New 10kw NHX AIO From Watts247

    Be patient. There is an occasional 72hr work week but regular work weeks are 12days on, 2off. Makes for very little time for projects and sleep ... sleep is at a premium wherever/whenever it can be found. Still welding together a 12panel ground mount started 2months ago.

    New 10kw NHX AIO From Watts247

    Two nhx 10kw on the way. Ian doesn't think there will be any issue with a long ct lead. In this case, about ~50'. Is there a specific cat5 cable that I should be looking for as it will be ran in conduit underground.

    JK BMS Deal AliExpress

    Really skrews with SA's calculations. Guess I'll have to pull the borked older jk and use one of the spare b2a20s20p. Then I"ll order another b2a20sp to replace the jic spare. ... or two. Been considering increasing the battery bank. Hope swapping the old unit out with the new is as simple...

    JK BMS Deal AliExpress

    Yep. Have spare rs485/usb serial adapters for a jic situation. Also swapped locations in the powered usb hub. No dice.

    JK BMS Deal AliExpress

    Well, may have to order another one as it looks like the old (<2yr) jkb2a24s20p no longer wants to communicate via rs485. No luck getting it to communicate. Bluetooth connects with the phone and everything looks to be working, just no comms with SolarAssistant. RS485 still works on all the...

    New 10kw NHX AIO From Watts247

    I got 2 load testers! I'll have to put the amp probe on the meter again some afternoon. For the life of me, I cannot remember the amp draw, but do remember thinking about how the main 200amp breaker hadn't tripped yet.

    New 10kw NHX AIO From Watts247

    That's what I was thinking, 5 units. It would be awesome to cut the cord and go naked but my amp probe has clocked the load testers, IIRC, =/>200amps, rough average ~60kwh/day. Stove top, oven, microwave, dishwasher, dryer, washer, a/c, water heater, deep well pump, and of course the tv all...

    New 10kw NHX AIO From Watts247

    Sent an email at 8:25 and Watts replied by 9:34. One thing I must say about Watts247 ... SigSolar needs to learn from Watts customer service! How many of these 10k units would it take to replace a 200amp utility service?

    New 10kw NHX AIO From Watts247

    Single unit, or parallel? The original Mega was plagued with software bugs, it would be impressive if this unit simply worked without issue. What kind of warranty/support did Ian stipulate? Did it come with ct? Is it tied to grid? Zero export; will it actually do zero export without the...

    18650 Battery Store

    I'll chalk this experience up as a meh ... neutral. Was contacted by email on 03-08-24 about the incorrect shipment and received the correct lf304ah Eve cells 03-15-24. Comparing the lf280k and lf304 side by side ... the 280k are much flatter. The new lf304ah grade 'a' look like the other...

    Small 6kw solar system(24-240w panels, 6kw Sungold inverter,TP6048 & 24-(140ah agm) batteries for sale $2k

    Those batteries are going to be expensive to ship and it's too far for me to drive, or I'd be on it as it would make for a nice set it and forget it all weather remote cabin system.

    18650 Battery Store

    Still no reply from 18650 by email or text message. If they are not going to bother replying to an email or text, why even put those contacts on their website? @nc73 the bank tied to my PP account automatically nixes transactions to China. Not sure how they make that determination since...

    Seems MPP dropped a new inverter...a split phase 10KW

    I agree. Manufacture probably gets passed around to whomever can build out the lot order cheapest, except possibly where ul certifications are concerned.

    They have yet to reply. I would contact them via phone, but it is better to have things in an email. That way there is never the possibility of a he-said, she-said, scenario.

    18650 Battery Store

    This is my third purchase from 18650 Battery Store. The first purchase was in 01-2023 for 32pcs of their grade 'b' 304ah Eve cells. Had one dud right out of the box that 18650 quickly replaced. The second order was in 03-2023 for another 32pcs of their grade 'b' 304ah Eve Cells...

    MPP Solar / Infinisolar MPI 10k hybrid inverter problem - Error 06 Over temperature

    Ouch! Is it the new lvx12kw? That really puts a sting on buying an MPP branded anything, especially without the support of a local and reputable dealer.

    Seeking latest buying advice for raw cells

    Just my $.02, but for the most part I feel the retailers are at the mercy of their wholesaler, who may be the ones pulling the fast one. Although my last transaction with 18650 was not the best, there should be 4pcs of Eve grade 'a' 304ah cells coming in today to replace some of the lowlier...

    Seeking latest buying advice for raw cells

    Purchased 64pcs of the Eve304 grade 'b' cells from 18650 last year. One cell was a dud out of the box. Another cell refuses to charge beyond 3.3xv., and while the JK active bms is able to keep fairly decent control of the first batch of 32 cells, the second batch of 32 are all over the place.

    It would be great if you were to list the relay part numbers. It might help out some other members, like me, who have an intermittent issue with pv no see.

    New 10kw NHX AIO From Watts247

    Dude ... you had me scratching my head. My understanding of things electric actually did start with a butter knife in an outlet :fp2 (darn lucky the knife was too large to make contact and mum put an end to it), it hasn't improved much since then.

    New 10kw NHX AIO From Watts247

    @Watts247 - Ian Roux 1)what were some of the small bugs/extensive updates? Are the bugs eliminated? 2)concerning zero export, will it actually do zero export without the occasional slip-up when a large load starts/stops? 2)are the mppt inputs actually separate mppts, or internally paralleled...

    Failed Inspection - need some advice and guidance for NEC 690 infractions.

    Fingers crossed, I'll be upgrading soon and found this thread very useful. Question; I live in one of those states that follows no version of the NEC, although, some public facilities are required to follow NEC2005. Wondering what kind of sharknado I'm fixing to get into.

    1+ Year With Grade 'B'

    ... and it's still not keeping up. One cell never goes above ~3.3xv. When new, that cell had a dented side that 18650 was contacted about but never replied. Will try and look up how many days the battery pack was in float before those screen shots.

    Do we still need T-Class Fuses?
