Came really well packed to. Free storage boxes. Going to install tomorrow. I do have one question. If I'm not hooking to my...

    First day with all panels installed. Got 21kws. That's with a sunny day and an hour with no production to fix a loose bms wire. Hopefully more today.

    New panels

    I ordered 16 pf these off Santan. From what I read they seem like a good deal. I paid $83 each. I think they are going to be way better than the 260 watt jinkos I have. Mine are Polly and not half cell. Any thoughts?

    Gangfeng 280 Cells

    The batteries are here. They look flat and beautiful. The bus bars that came with them are nicer than I thought. Battery is built and charging. Can't wait to test out and figure out hownto get solar assistant to work with JK bms. It's not recognizing it. Email solar Assistant to see what they say.

    Gangfeng 280 Cells

    I was going to order from docan but they were way too pushy. I told them when I could order and they kept bothering me. The last message I got Lily called me a lier. I was done at that point.

    Gangfeng 280 Cells

    They were a good price and could not find much bad on them. I've heard of CALB and CATL before I started down the solar path in researchingelectric cars. Lol. But eve seems to be a newer brand.

    Hooking up 20 240 watt solar panels.

    I'm getting 20 240 watt solar panels with a EG4 3000 watt inverter. My question is I know I have to do a series parallel on them but I want to make sure my math is correct. So I thought I would do two strings of 10. The calculator I use shows 304v and 16 amps. If I do that into to a Y mc4...
