2 times this thing has hit 32v on a 24v system. I have it set to f08. I seem to recall someone mentioning a issue with these. Maybe this was responsible for my failed wal mart deep cycle batteries too.

Ok so I have 2s3p array using santan 240w trina cracked back vinyl panels and their branch connectors and 50 feet of their pv 10ga wire to a cheap Amazon 32amp mcb to the older version powmr 3k24v aio to a ampere-time (li-time) 24v 100ah lifepo4 battery. The unit is running a 5000btu ac unit...

I've basically been running an experimental setup modifying it as I go along and I don't ever leave it unmonitored or unmanned. But I've come to the point that I don't want to shut everything down every time I leave the house so I ordered some circuit breakers and things like that and started to...

Havent seen or heard of anyone using this one. I have a older powmr 3k24v seems ok. So this one might be too? 10000W Solar Inverter Charger 48V to 120V/240V Split-Phase Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter Built-in 200A MPPT Controller and 120A AC Charger, for Lead Acid Lithium Battery and...

My science experiment has somewhat gotten out of hand they're just kind of added more and more and now I'm trying to make sure that it can be left unattended. Ive used several branch adapters from santan solar and Amazon. Most at 4 to 1 some are 2 to 1. All my pv wire is 10ga santan stuff...

I almost bought a sungold sp6548. But after driving 2 hrs i came to my senses. But I did get some nice lg 250w monocrystalline panels for $51 each and a much needed 150a battery circuit breaker and a 63a dc solar breaker for some protection. My problem is i have 20x 240w trina cracked vinyl...

Not sure if theres a difference between li time and ampere time?

I found this deal that worries me(the neighborhood) Supposedly new from last year ordered off Amazon. Not used. He wants $500 for battery and inverter. He lives in a very bad area of town. So im slightly hesitant. What are your thoughts ? Heres pics from his advertisement.

For some reason i thought you could get these cheaper. But after some looking im not sure anymore. I hate to spend money on some unknown brand and quality and be left with garbage. Im on a tight budget. But im tired of dealing with Walmart batteries. I only need 100ah because my inverter is...

I want to not have the hassle or cost of batteries. I only use my solar during daytime. It runs our ac unit in the house. Nothing else. I should have bought the LV6548 or whatever one had battery less option. But i have hvlv2424 and some epever 40amp tracer 4210an charge controllers. And...

What would happen if you had two 12 volt batteries hooked to two different solar panels and charge controllers but the batteries were in series powering a 24 volt inverter? Would this work? Or would weird things happen under load.

I purchased these 2 group 24 never start batteries in June of last year one of them started to show signs of failing last week I brought them both into Walmart and they load chest item with their battery analyzer and he both failed and I was able to get 2 new replacements kudos to Walmart for...

This thing has some great specs. The price vs a lvx6048 or LV6548 seems like the mpp is over priced now. Hmm Has anyone bought one of these on here? https://www.santansolar.com/product/growatt-10-kw-inverter-hybrid-wifi-tigo-transmitter/

Amateur extra here. Anyway I've been fighting with rfi since I started with solar. I have 26 panels ground mounted in my backyard near my loop antenna. I get spikes through out every band from the epever 40amp tracer 4210an charge controllers. I have 3 I get same from mpp solar hvlv2424. Then...

I'm seriously disappointed with this company. Not only does this inverter wipe out ham radio 10 dB over 9 its barely anything acceptable to call a sine wave. Watch the video. I compare the reliable, mpp solar, and grid. It's obvious ? You've been warned. And we need to start checking all...

I decided to further document this since it's poorly documented but many people say different things. I've read the manual from a 2500w and a 3000w. Although slightly different, both say the same things. Not to bond the black wire with the ground. Or the red for that matter. They say red is...

Not a super deal but a bigger output for the space taken maybe. Still under 50 cents a watt. I'm gunna wait and keep tabs on them and see if they go on sale. They're starting to post lots of stuff and I noticed that they actually might be getting a little bit desperate posting those really...

I'm not sure if I should try to re arrange these panels. But what I have is 4 trina 240w panels and 5 Gloria 225W panels in 3s3p on my hvlv2424. Normally I would need 12 of the 240w trinas to realize the 2000w 80amp input . These panels are both physically the same size. Each Gloria 225w has...

So I picked up 2 of these to test. They seem to be rated similarly to trinas for $44 The tags are intact and these 2 look amazing. No brown Maybe they gave me 2 of the best since I'm a pain .lol ? ? I'm gunna test them tomorrow morning. They don't have mc4 connections. Mc3? My tags say...

So I bought this thing stupidly for $600 used a couple of days ago I've noticed today that I was using the inverter in it to run a it to run a single window unit air conditioner on the same battery bank that that has another inverter hooked and another charge controller hooked. It seems like...

I thought I would share a video of my set up thus far on this solar journey. Hope you guys like it!

I wanted to start a thread for people to discuss the different varying charts and compare those to what the nec says for basic house wiring I guess. I think this a confusing subject for new people. The internet is full of information that doesn't all agree or make sense There's a lot of...

So probably risky deal at $600 and lots of driving on a Sunday. But we wanted to go up north for a change. So from prescott to Cameron az we went. Here's my video of the unit and some tips for mpp solar AIO newbies like myself. This is my second unit. Long story. Like many others I'm active...

I've bought a few things and it's from their Amazon store I got my epever 40amp tracer 4210an cc with the MT50 meter and usb cable for a very reasonable price. They obviously sell Epevers. And they sell AIO stuff and more. Who makes what ? And who owns who? And what stuff is good and what is...

Today I got on the radio during the day. I normally don't use the radio while everything is running. This reliable 24v inverter is wiping me out on the bands. Bad. Is there something I can do ? I shorten the dc power leads so far with the tiny cables that came w it. I'm not sure they will...

Saw this on Amazon. Looks ok Maybe? Lol ? Sug 3000W(Peak 6000W) Power Inverter Pure Sine Wave DC 12V to AC 110V 120V Converter with Remote Control Back up Power Supply for RV, Home, Car Use https://a.co/d/hLekwfO

Well it's time. Back to the simple things. No more fickle AIO and crap you can't put a shunt meter in between. I bought and tried a few things and returned them. In the process pissed off santan solar in gilbert az. So I probably won't be buying from them. I have several conclusions and...

So im interested in these as well as the original lv6024 . My concern is the battery charger of lvx6048 I saw will bridge l1and l2 on a older lv5048 rather than supply 240v split . I like the higher pv voltage and low frequency inverter? Or is it really low?and 240v split. I could run my ham...

Yep

I see the 100a versions go up to 48v and have other perks that the 40 doesn't and it probably can manage all my panels together for better monitoring. I have a few days to decide before I'm stuck with what I have. There's a 30 day return exchange period and I can swap them for the bigger unit...

This is a cyberpower 1500pfclcd 900w ups. Ran my 6000btu on it. Showed 70% load, 10ga wires were warm. It's 24v. I was surprised it ran that ac unit w 900w. That ac is 715w running, 6.3amps at 120v. To handle that startup is got me wondering ? the big transformer might just be the charger part.

Found a solar edge se3300 for super cheap. Guy says he got it from someone for 400 who upgraded. I assume this can only be used grid tied? Is there a way to easily test. The price is suspicious on it.
