    LV6548 AC IN Reverse Polarity Question & Concern

    So, I'm not even entirely sure where I should post this thread (so if a mod feels it should be moved, please do) probably because I'm slightly freakin' out right now. Main question is: What would/could happen to an LV6548 if you connected an improperly wired (reverse polarity [hot and neutral...

    OCP Check/Verification

    So I've been hearing/reading a lot that 2 panels (or 2 series strings) need not be fused. Though I would like to double check before I go hooking up all my gear! I will be running an LV6548 with 24x - 230 Watt panels wired as 6s2p (x2 for the LV's 2 MPPT CC's). I've already verified the VOC...

    MPP LV6548 Ground/Neutral Safety?

    @Will Prowse Is 45.07 still the most recent firmware version (as of today 29 JUN 22)? Where were you able to find that firmware download you supplied in post #186 ? Thanks!

    Thoughts on Rich Solar RS-H6548 vs. Sun Gold Power 6500-48-120 vs. MPP Lv6548

    I would have done so without provocation had I not literally ordered the last ONE they had in stock :( Sorry... But in the event you still would like to know, I got mine from SanTan Solar ;)

    Thoughts on Rich Solar RS-H6548 vs. Sun Gold Power 6500-48-120 vs. MPP Lv6548

    I can admit I am no longer personally curious about this, as I have been able to locate, order, and receive my "authentic" LV6548... I must say, this is probably like many other products (such as televisions). There are many 'electronics' that are made/built in the same place but wind up...

    Design check

    So, if AGM are really that inferior to LiFePO, I'd probably go with this (presuming the rest still "adds up"):

    Design check

    I do think we have the right mindset and even last 6 months of "practice" as well. I am getting "tired" of using my Prius as a generator though, between high gasoline prices and the added wear and tear from the unnecessary and excessive idling (although it does only kick the Internal Combustion...

    Design check

    Yes, I am 100% ignorant on (solar) batteries, admitted..! I am 100% open to any (specific) battery recommendations ;)

    Design check

    I came up with 241.2v (so, pretty darn close) - which either one of these two numbers is below the 250v spec of the LV6548... Right?

    Design check

    Daily usage... 100% off grid... Yes, the avg low is something around 55°. Not 100% sure on the record low but I do believe it's going to be something in the 20° - 30° range. And thinking of it, I should certainly ask ya': Wouldn't this actually be most pertinent for "record low - while the sun...

    Design check

    Well currently my life is very dynamic... You're definitely correct about 100% off grid - I am living in an RV in AZ on a vacant parcel that I will be building a house on... Although I will eventually likely get a real generator as a "back up", I have been using a 2kw DC-AC inverter on my Prius...

    Design check

    So I had developed a much smaller system before realizing there's NO way I could make it work for my electrical "needs"... I am not new to electronics and electricity as a whole, but I am new to "solar"... So, my design drawing does lack things that (at least to me) are obvious. IE: it is NOT a...

    Thoughts on Rich Solar RS-H6548 vs. Sun Gold Power 6500-48-120 vs. MPP Lv6548

    I too, would like to know. I'm ready to pick up an LV6548 but if course cannot find it anywhere in stock! Want one today/now basically, but I don't want to wind up with a crappy knock off. Also won't accept being crazily gouged either. So I wonder, are the models you've listed (which I too...
