You could set up one esp32 as a server with the ct clamps attached to its analog input. Then also use another esp32 as a client connected to the two inverters through an analog output. You may need to adjust the voltage for/from the esp32 on both ends depending on what the ct and inverters are...

I have two LVX6048WPs. The load connection of the grid forming inverter feeds the grid connection of the grid tied inverter. The grid tied inverter feeds any power it produces out through the grid connection and the grid forming inverter can then use that power for whatever it needs. The grid...

I just hooked up my LVX6048WPs to test the AC coupling feature. The setup is entirely off grid and ac coupling works fine with the most up to date firmware. The grid forming inverter is very bad at keeping track of where the energy comes from, but it can use any power the grid tied inverter...

I ran across this spreadsheet when I was first learning about this stuff and this arrangement caught my eye. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SyzKUZ5_KxLB6megSLTXYv_1LlbcFqE4gxMgK8SrMvs/edit?usp=drivesdk I figure balancing anything over 3.375 volts should sort of work. It gives a decent...

They can charge up to 62 volts which is 99 percent capacity and right about where balancing is meaningful.

The main array is 32 bifacial 540 watt panels pointing directly south angled for winter. The structure is about 30’ tall and 30’ wide. The racking is built from the curtain rods from an old stage. The frame is made from structural joists that fell off a truck 30 years ago. A second array will...

I have 3 lvx6048wp inverters that I want to connect in a non traditional way. I plan on powering two houses with these three inverters with one at one house and two at another. The loads rarely get above 6kW at either house, but I want the system to be robust. These inverters are capable of ac...

I got a couple of pallets of these panels, but I don't need quite that many. They are brand new. I have 10 available at $275 a piece. If you are local this will save you shipping costs, otherwise I can send you less than Signature Solar's minimum order quantity. Link to panels...

I got on the list after they stopped putting the number on the website, so I think I was 300 or more. It looks like they sent the email to everybody on the waitlist and opened orders up to anybody.

I got the same message and went to the website. When I got there there were 11 available and I managed to get 3 of them.

I forgot to mention that the shop has its own grid connection right now so I would need to run an ac line over there anyway. The shop is about 35'X36'.

It is currently on grid. The house is in an interesting place where the cost of electricity is very low, but the cost to be connected to the grid is a bit higher. This makes it so going completely off grid eventually breaks even, but adding a small system and staying connected to the grid never...

I am planning an offgrid solar setup for my inlaws, but there are a few weird constraints. The whole system has historically used about 1300 kWh of energy in January (which is the only month where the energy budget gets tight). The most power the system has ever used at one time is about 12 kW...

Has anybody tried building a custom IQ battery with IQ microinverters? Some of the literature indicates that the IQ8's are bidirectional. There is probably some weird setup or specific inverters to make it work, but it sounds like a fun thing to try.

The goal is to use LFP batteries, and from what I have read they don't play well with alternators unless there is some kind of charger involved (or a decent regulator which triples the price). The intention with the inverter generator is to provide AC power to the all in one inverter and have...

I believe it is a Cummins. It only has one 12 volt battery to run the starter. I have not looked much closer than that.

I think it is a bluebird 2000 RE made in 2000. It does have a 24 volt alternator, but only a 12 volt battery. I haven't actually figured out where it changes to 12 volts.

I have been looking for a good way to power the electrical system in a large bus/RV conversion. I need to have 48 volt batteries because the the current draw would be excessive on a lower voltage system. This makes powering it from an alternator more expensive than I can handle in the short term...

At about $1300 for 16 cells it may be worth the risk in a bit. I just wish I had a good test setup.

I found a super cheap source of aluminum cased lifepo4 batteries, but I have not actually purchased them. I don't know enough about them to spot the red flags, but it looks super promising...
