For what it's worth, I bought the 60v/25A model and there is a pot next to the connectors for the wire that you can turn it up. I think I set it to 62v and left it there. It works great.
I have done some additional loading of it beyond what I mentioned there, but not extensive. It's still running flawlessly, though. My solar/battery project got put on hold for a while due to some back issues that were severe and required treatment and then finally surgery, so now that I'm...

So, I ground away a little of the mounting on the power supply to clear the foot stand off, and drilled new holes for where this ended up sitting in the case. I used different screws & nuts than what came with it and cut the screws down to size.
I ordered this one: XJIVNV 1500w Power Supply
It didn't fit 100% bolt in, but I was able to make it fit and work and it's been great.
I would suggest buying a heavy duty, rated for 15A power supply cord for it. I bought this one: TripLite HD Computer Power Cable
Not really. There should never be any heat build up there under normal conditions. The dual breaker allows another way to remove both poles of the battery from the system (Anderson connector being the other). I had a 2 pole breaker on the v1 battery, but was told I would need to run one of...
I'm using this one:
AliExpress Link to Cut Off Switch
It's rated for 600A Continuous at 50v.
It can also be found on Amazon, but for 2x as much.
I have it coming through the top of my box so I have easy access.

If you buy the Signature Solar version of the SPF5000ES (US) inverter, it has been modified by the factory to not have the L2 / Ground bond. This has been well documented here.
If you buy a random one from China or eBay, all bets are off. More than likely you will get one that has a relay...
For the cost of individual components, you can buy spare AIO's. ;)
I plan on running off 2 SPF5000s, but plan on having 3 wired up for just such a situation. Maybe use the 3rd as a charge controller only, or maybe just have it sitting there ready.
What a drama queen...
This debate and bashing has been going on for well over a year now. Exactly how many transformers have you heard failed during that time?
I know far more stories from friends/family where they lost neutral from a branch falling on overhead power lines or similar. The...
I received my units with screen and was complaining pretty hard to JK about the fact that they soldered the switch to the wiring harness of that box.
There is literally no way to mount the switch when it's soldered, so ??? - what the heck were they thinking. I plan on unsoldering mine and...
Everything arrived perfect, as was the case last time I ordered from them. I have not had time to do any testing, but I have no doubt everything would be the same as last time.
