    Lake recycle pump

    I think that I will try to build a system that can support my existing AC pump, the pump has the following characteristics, is not the best picture but it says pump needs, 0.3kwh, I am assuming has a surge of 0.6kwh so I will install 2 panels of 425w each, total 850w, an inverter probably a 12 V...

    Excessive electricity from panels

    Yes Epever confirmed its cumulative, needs to be reseted.

    Excessive electricity from panels

    I have not tested with voltmeter, at the moment is night time here, if the mcb does not work as we wired it it would mean that we are shorting the panel connecting the pos with the neg. but note that actually the battery is charging very fast so I dont think is generating only 24W.

    Inverter resetting

    Great I was watching this video that said that equalization should be turned off and thought that I had damaged the battery by leaving it at 120m. Is the boost the same as float with ankther name?

    Inverter resetting

    At the moment the equalization time is set at 120m, should this be 0 for lifepo4?

    Excessive electricity from panels

    When we wired the mcb as the sign shοw, that is crossed positive from left to right and neg. from right to left the mcb would not switch the panels off, it only worked when we installed it as its shown in the picture. The voc of the panel as per the manual, never tested is 48V. The scc is...

    Excessive electricity from panels

    I dont have available a clamp meter only a voltimeter, yes the parameters are for 12V and bat. Is 12v: Something weird happened during the installation, the mcb that I am using as an on off switch for the panels was not cutting off so I asked an electrician who told me to ignore the signs and...

    This is not the case with mine this number is not changing a lot whether batteries are full ot empty. Is this the sign of a problem?

    Excessive electricity from panels

    2. Actually this number does not change much during the day so yes it was also measured at best sun. But something that is weird is that the value doesn't change to 0 even at night time, note the small moon on the screen. 3. I can only say the battery monitor was showing 100% but I do not know...

    I agree the number must be wrong.

    Excessive electricity from panels

    But does this make sense?, if its watts then its producing 24.5 watts per hour, so over the day 24.5x12= 294wh, no too low, it might be 245×12= 2940wh, makes more sense.

    Excessive electricity from panels

    I think yes, however the wires had to be reconfigured due to a mistake on the wiring of the battery monitor and I am not sure if then the panels were shut off. But I have videos that show this high values even before this. Thanks for your advice its worth trying it.

    Excessive electricity from panels

    Hi, I am getting a super high reading in my scc and wanted to ask how does it make make sense, the system is one 410w panel, epever 40a scc mppt, 1 sok 12v 100ah battery, giandel 1000w 12v inverter. The scc is showing on a daily basis around 25kwh beign generated, if I am correct this is 25 000...

    Hi, I have a 410W panel with a 40A mppt epever scc a 12v 100ah sok battery and a giandel 1000w 12 V inverter, but after the battery fills the inverter starts the alzrm and resets and after about 10m it does it again and again. I think the probelm is that there is too much sun here the scc is...

    Wirinig SCC

    In order to keep my cost as low as possible and to keep it as simple as possible my design does not include buss bars, its only a 12v system with one 1200wh battery and a 1000w inverter with a 40a scc, however I am confused about the sok meter that I got, does the negative that goes to load have...

    Wirinig SCC

    Hi everybody, I almost got all my components but I have a doubt, I am following Wills classic 400 setup but Epever representative has advised to wire in a different way and I want your opinion. I was planning to wire the scc from the inverter pos. and negative and put a fuse there. However the...

    Wires and fuses

    After about a month of waiting it seems that Amazon will not ge able to deliver, locally I have 2 options, both are DC, MCBs one 33A and one 60A, they have to be connected to both negative and positive, which one shoul I install?

    Wires and fuses

    I think not, however I cannot find the wires I would like, I bought a 35 mm2 (approx. Gauge 2) one for battery to inverter although I could use only one meter I got 2 meters each(+ -) just in case, from inverter to scc circuit breaker a 25mm2 (approx. Gauge 3) 20cm and from scc circuit breaker...

    As I thought, they dont have what I need, do you have a specific MRBF in mind?

    From this I gather that I need the 3, a bolt one for the battery positive, a main one before the inverter and the one for the scc, is this correct?

    Thanks, found a list of European suppliers (https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/products/electrical-circuit-protection/fuses/electrical-iec-european-distributors.html) dropped a few emails maybe they sell retail.

    For the 50A circuit breaker for the Scc could I use this one?

    Wires and fuses

    Thanks, I was thinking of the bolt fuse, actually the inverter has a 9.5V cutoff so it will take it to 155A so 160A fuse, the manual has this table:

    Hi, I am installing a 12V system for a small shed with one 410W panel, a 1000W giandel inverter, one 12v 100ah SOK lifepo4 battery with a SOK shunt battery monitor and a 40A epever Scc, I have seen Wills video (DIY 400 Watt) and read his book but I still have some doubts. 1.- Since I dont have...

    Thanks to your help I am moving forward, I ordered today one Lifepo412V 100Ah SOK battery and a 12V 1000W Giandel inverter, I want to order as well a 40A Epever Scc however I have a doubt, I am ordering the USB comunication cable to be able to setup the battery properly, the question is do I...

    I dont think I can afford 2 at the moment, I am planning for both Scc and Inverter to be Victron (bluesolar and phoenix) but I dont think they communicate directrly they need an extra device.

    The only Lifepo4 that I can source localy is brand Leoch that has a 0.5 C rate with 100% efficiency of charge, will this battery be ok beign charged at the (nominal) .33?

    Audit Spreadsheet verification

    Ok, but I am thinking to do that I would need a charger that can adjust it, as I am trying to source locally that means almost sure Victron, I will have a look at the options but leaving the generator on for 3 hours often is something I dont want to do, although here we havent seen more than 3...

    And what happens if I will be using the acid batteries at the time of charging? The fridge alone uses 31.25 Wh per hour so for 3 hours abour 94Wh it might extend the charging time time a 15%, is it ok to do that?

    Good Agm batteries

    I am tabulating the quotes I got by the price of Wh taking in account the Rech. Cycles at 50% DoD and I see no real surprises except one, I got a quote for a flooded Trojan 27TMH that is 162eur, I dont see the 50% DoD on the specs but if its around 1400 this is a good price, I am correct or...
