    I get two power bills at my house so now I'm looking into solar.

    2500/month? how's huge is your home ? what're you running every sec ? where're you live ?

    what's your PV array string voltage ? seeing some up to 400V +

    Hello everyone, I have 17 solar panels, 9 of them running 3s and 3p, the other 8 are 4s and 2p total voltage is140v and 146v respectively real world measurement just around 115v - 125v since these # are less than 150v max that many cheap charger can support and safe to the touch if accident...

    how's your off grid living happiness level ?

    Hello all, I've been using homemade solar power since 2019 there're 8 people in the family, include 3 kids, 5 adults we're using/running all electric devices normally just like before, even more and more lately 4 fridges/freezers, 2 microwaves, 2 high power air fry/toaster oven, 2 hairdryers, 3...

    Wondering why're many people still building 12/24v system ?

    seeing a baby on the cliff edge and turn a blind eye... seeing a poor set up and the lips are zipped.... is that you sir ? lol.....,

    Wondering why're many people still building 12/24v system ?

    that's exactly friend, 48 is way to go for the new build, unless impossible

    Wondering why're many people still building 12/24v system ?

    so why not 48 now, then to 72 or 96 if needed

    Wondering why're many people still building 12/24v system ?

    So most RV folks got to stick with 12v with huge amp/cables to deal with ?

    Wondering why're many people still building 12/24v system ?

    Greeting all, Noticing lots of people here still think about building a new/huge system @ 12 or 24v is it no debate that 48v is the only way to go ? it's everything better ! unless the new system is very small, sub 500w or upgrading from an even smaller one Am I missing anything ? happy...

    Be able to harvest 5610w out of 6630w solar panels today, it's 84.5%, what's yours ?

    Hello every one, I've running off grid since 2019 bought 10kwh Batt from China for 3k, compare to 10 Grand here back then ( still running very strong ) keep expanding along the way..., now, the system are 17 panels x 390w = 6630 w and 3/48v Batt of total 20kwh today I observed the 2 charge...

    12v, 24v, or 48v?

    48 is the only way to go when build a new system unless for a small, sub 500w

    About DIY 48V, is the above configuration correct?

    same thinking here need 1 more for 3x3

    How bad, if any, for Lifepo4 batt float charging 5 - 6 hours/ day, every day ?

    so you suggesting lower the charging voltage a bit more ?

    How bad, if any, for Lifepo4 batt float charging 5 - 6 hours/ day, every day ?

    Hello every one, My solar system is a bit overkill when Spring/summer coming the 3 batt of 20kwh total @ 48v will be full at around 1 Pm they're running in floating mode, at nearly 100% SOC, during the rest of the day, until 6 - 7 Pm it's 5 -6 hours long sitting at full every day nothing I can...

    Battery voltage disconnect - any available for my set up ?

    can we play around with BMS ? thought it's fixed by the manufacturer

    Need battery voltage disconnect device : cut off at 50.5- 51.5v and reconnect at 52 - 52.5v

    correct friend how to wire them 2 diff batt in parallel into the same inverter ? thx

    Need battery voltage disconnect device : cut off at 50.5- 51.5v and reconnect at 52 - 52.5v

    add another charge controller into the system ? I think I can do that and not so expensive but letting the 2 different batt connecting to each other to the same inverter is the question how to make it happen friend ? thx

    Need battery voltage disconnect device : cut off at 50.5- 51.5v and reconnect at 52 - 52.5v

    not an ideal to add another Inverter friend economically is no good better sacrifice the battery life

    Need battery voltage disconnect device : cut off at 50.5- 51.5v and reconnect at 52 - 52.5v

    thank you so much for for input sir I will strongly reconsider my next move 1st step is down the charging voltage to 3.65 right away thanks again friend

    Need battery voltage disconnect device : cut off at 50.5- 51.5v and reconnect at 52 - 52.5v

    15s vs 16s = 6.67% difference when I set the max charge voltage of the 16s at 3.5v or 56v per pack that 56v goes into the 15s, it become 56 : 15 = 3.73v 3.73v is a bit high than I would like, but as far as we know the max voltage for Lifepo4 batt to reach the dangerous level is 4.2 at 3.73, it...

    Need battery voltage disconnect device : cut off at 50.5- 51.5v and reconnect at 52 - 52.5v

    copy that not a good idea to mix them up been running 4 years on the 10kwh/15 cells but I got a super nice deal on the 16 cells and decided to add it up, then fix the issue later but it seem harder than I thought

    Battery voltage disconnect - any available for my set up ?

    Hello everyone, system with 2 battery ,one 10khw with 15 cells and the other 5kwh with 16 cells , 48v both sharing the same set up, in parallel. Problem is, the bigger one has lower voltage compare to the the smaller one, due to 1 cell less I be able to charge them up ok, but discharging cause...
