    Autonomous SOC control Solar Assistant

    My off grid cabin is up and running for about 3 weeks now. I have a Growatt 24v 3000, 2x 24v EG4 Lifepo4 batteries, 1320watts on the roof, all tied together with my Solar assistant. The only thing for back up would be a generator if need be. We have about a constant 25w load with the wifi...

    Connecting Solar Assistant to EG4 Lifepower batteries

    I just got my Growatt 24v 3000 set up this weekend with SA and 2 x 24v EG4 Lifepo4 batteries. I am not sure what setting I need to put the SA in to read battery values. Currently it is set to use inverter values because that is all that seems to work. I see voltage and state of charge, but I...

    Feed Growatt and/or panel??

    I had thought the same thing. Possibly using two of something like this (pic attached). This may seem stupid and overkill, but if I get to the cabin and the AIO has failed, for some reason, I would like to quickly switch over to just have the generator feed the panel then.

    Feed Growatt and/or panel??

    I have an off grid cabin that I am building. I have a Growatt 24V SPF 3000TL LVM - 3kW that I will be installing with EG4 batteries. My question is, how can I have a generator feed the AIO and my panel separately? What I mean is, I want the generator wired into the AIO but I also want to be...

    New system

    Most of the AIO's that I am finding including the Growatt are a max of 145v PV input. Is there something I am missing?

    New system

    My current setup with the FLA is in a out shed that is behind my cabin. If I were to go with FLA I would probably keep them out of the cabin and the rest of the components inside. If I went with Lifepo4 everything would be inside the cabin.

    New system

    I was leaning towards 24 volt. Would it make sense though to go all in series which would give me 160v and less than 10A? Or would 2S2P be a better option at 80v and just under 20A? I have a decent 12volt 3000w pure sine wave invertor now but don't necessarily need to run that one.

    New system

    I have been searching around here looking for the right answers and just have not seem to come up with the correct ones. I have a off grid one room cabin that I use on the weekends year round. Currently have a 200w 12 volt solar setup that charges a 12 volt forklift battery. Pretty simple system...
