I've got a thermostat controlled fan that blows out if the inside temp gets over 90F. It's my safety net.

I misunderstood you. I told you what I was running to cool my inverters. My house is cooled with a 4 ton unit.

I'm running a 10000 btu 120vac AC. Needs to be a little bigger. I want to put a 15000+ 240vac unit.

Just finished adding 2 more batteries and starting the deep cycle process.

This post is golden! Nothing more humbling then your system kicking your teeth in a few times. Take your licks and keep learning.

I want to buy another chargeverter. Mine has been the game changer. I would sink 300 in it for a spare.

Yep. I learned that the hard way. I was given the same advice from the generator guy who also has an off grid camp house. His words " Most people never look up and never notice poles not being there." Solar is the new don't ask don't tell lol.

Here is a veiw of some of the work I did over the weekend. Note. Most of the wiring is getting redone. The fuse in the center is a band aid from an earlier issue.

2 new inverters. Top box is Nader breakers with enclosures + some 1/0 wire.

Xmas came early! Time to upgrade.

I bought mine about a month ago. I hammer 60amp for hours with a predator 6500 gas gen. As soon as my big gen is fix I plan on hitting 80-100amps. When I add more racks I will have a chargeveter included in the design. Best $300 I ever spent.

I've been told by a generac dealer that having solar voids their warranty too. Sounds like it time for a good class action lawsuit. The gov is pushing clean energy ( not my circus) and companies are punishing the consumer. Thoughts

I am running into issue with having solar. The control board in my AC/Furnace is bad. I think is was bad when the home was delivered. The tech told me today that my solar voided my warranty "because of unstable voltages and the control board is sensitive" what a load of crap. I unloaded on my...

Just got a quote from Alabama power. 100K for overhead 28K for underground. I'm about to put another 8 K in my solar. Should be less then 20K total on all of my equipment.

I love my 245' well now that is some great water. Did not like the cost.

The joke is I was going to build an off grid "HOBBY" cabin in the property. Funny how it all works out. I now live off grid and it doesn't feel much like a hobby lol

Hank Williams jr said it best. I grew up in the woods and after 2020 we sold our house in town and moved.

I am in God's contry. Being 1/2 mile past any infrastructure.

Your running 2p1 2p2? 240 split phase?

I'm at work so I'm going off off memory only.

From you menu go up till you see your firmware. What is U1 U2 U3 on each.

I think it's 2300rpms. Its a generac 24k The changeveter is from eg4 using the technology from the 3k inverter. I was going to have to pay running 1/4 mile down a rural dirt road.

What batteries do you have? How is your cables ran? The wire coming from the inverter to the master battery is directional. How are they addressed. Master should be 0000 the rest larger. Mine are set in binary order because that matters only to me lol.

You can dm me if you want.

Is it a load issue? Explain the symptoms please. Unfortunately I've had a time with them too but I've learned a lot too.

Vigo if you think that is bad read my post on my this is my baby thread. Alabama power quoted me 100k to run me power. ???

No. I'm going to run 2 paired on each phase to divide the loads.

I'm putting another 6k in my system and adding 2 more inverters and 2 batteries. 20 more panels sometime in the next year.

When I received the text with the non official estimate I asked did he fat finger a zero. My father inlaw thought I was joking until I told he for the third time I wasn't. Overhead was 100k. Underground with a boring rig was going to be 28K. On top of all of this I was going to get charged 35...

???⬆️⬆️⬆️

24K whole home generator connected to the AC in on the EG4 6.5K inverters for charging. It was supposed to maintain a clean sine wave with in 3%

So another fun one. After the second set died I was done I was getting Alabama power ran to the house...... I am 1/2 mile from the end of the line. I was going to be responsible for paying for the last 1/4 mile because my neighbor was doing some project on the first 1/4 and that was covered...

Post in thread 'Need help! System is down' https://diysolarforum.com/threads/need-help-system-is-down.64856/post-860692 I just answered it in another post. Short answer is the controller was dying and didn't show its ugly head until after the fact. I had other ideas at first but I have since...

Controller was going bad. Only signs I got was after the fact by connecting my oscilloscope to it. Very noisy and trying to square wave under load. After everything happened I went to turn It on to water my grass and it faulted and shutdown. I troubleshot it with a manual I got off line and...
