Although i would be worried about lightening in the winter. We have a metal roof. We have lost many routers inside the house due to storms. For...

    The 16s 48v build finally begins

    There’s far more knowledge sitting on this forum than what I can offer. I’m also just starting. I will try and update with my progress. As for Shunts they’re not 100% necessary but I’d say they are preferable. They offer extra data which can’t be a bad thing. good luck ?

    The 16s 48v build finally begins

    Thankfully it’s on wheels. But even so you wouldn’t want to shift it too far! 5kg x 16 = 80kg & that’s without the timber etc. ??

    I had my moments! Amy was very good with her communication for the most part, although there was a few times where I was starting to wonder if this was the most elaborate scam. The idea that perhaps Amy isn’t real did cross my mind. Above all else I think what really helped was ordering them...
