These were intended for a Lynx Distributor setup. The 150A class T had the openings slightly enlarged to fit the Victron Lynx shunt. See here for pictures: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/victron-putz.65631/#post-872517 The 3 Mega's are 80, 100 and 125A

$45, including shipping to lower 48. I bought this off ebay, seller description of used and fully functional, to program my Multiplus II, but never had the chance to use it; returned the inverter as it was advertised as UL and it was not UL. Original ebay seller ad no longer shows as...

try the Craigslist ad? Updated 8 days ago: https://eugene.craigslist.org/grd/d/springfield-fortress-power-eflex-54-and/7698720498.html

I thought used equipment was fine if it meets the following criteria? If so, it seems to me this equiment meets the criteria: The solar PV system is new or being used for the first time. The credit can only be claimed on the “original installation” of the solar equipment...

This is a for sale forum....

yes, the 12K is on the 3 lists: https://www.energy.ca.gov/programs-and-topics/programs/solar-equipment-lists My permit person and installer person said they are a go to inverter....

I haven't decided on grid tie or not. Is this definition of grid tied: power goes back out to the utility? I asked earlier, but no one responded: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/permit-related-off-grid-definition-and-emt-use.72124/ Yes, I'm in California. For our county in California, my...

Looking to buy one of these all in one Sol-Arks, anyone want to sell? Talked with Sol-Ark to split L1 and L2, one line per 120V critical load panel (2 CLoad panels installed). They said this wouldn't be a problem. Only issue with the 12K is shutdown on imbalance, that the 15K could handle...

stupid question, why would anyone want or use 2FA on craigslist? The only thing I use 2FA for is to log into accounts....

Right, at 4:06 he points to the 240volt breakers on the panel requiring 240V (AC, dryer and range) now running on only 120V. How will they be powered with this setup...this seems a half-baked solution? I need an aha moment!....

right. But per this video his dryer/other 240V loads *breakers* are on the bus with 120V nonsplit phase/single phase, correct?....how would these loads be satisfied by 120V?

I'm scratching my head on this install, and it's probably an obvious answer starting me in the face on this single phase inverter. I'm hoping someone has the interest / is able to describe this connection in this youtube video. The installer seems to be running the 120V inverter out single...

Hello Dexter @HighTechLab , any update or any information whatsoever on the UL listing of the 5kVA multiplus ii? Thanks!

Howdy. Hope everyone is well. I'm using an internet-based permit service and I'm hopeful the DIY experts here can help me with a couple of questions regarding the drawing. In trying to describe my system, the draftsperson stated that my system is grid tied when I was of the thinking was not...

Great question....partly along the reason I asked in the OP. I’d be curious what the mfg support department would say about the housing failure. At least with this style breaker I can grab the brass when torquing, to remove stress from the Bakelite housing.

Thank you all...I'll keep it!

Just received this Carling/Midnite breaker and wanted to get feedback. The brass post is well connected (riveted?) to the steel terminal, however the entire post/terminal assembly is quite loose/moving around quite a bit in the housing. Is this normal? When the breaker is on, movement is...

LOL! Your comment clearly dictates that the goofiness of the few outweighs the wackiness of the many.

your user name is on the tip of my brain on what it means, but I can't quite decipher it. Yes, I saw these. I was looking for a box for this Midnite 125A panel mount breaker and the midnite box in your link has a 100A max. I'm looking to house this single breaker as a disconnect/breaker for a...

did you find a box for the breaker?

Hi Technodave, I went to the midnite solar site and I don't see them selling anything, I don't see a cart. I do see them pointing to distributors for purchasing. Am I missing something? I too am looking for a "box" to panel mount a midnite breaker.

Using the following T class fuse: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/victron-putz.65631/

It worked out so far. Took off minimal metal, centered the fuse and fits perfectly. When all is said and done, I will shoot the whole kit and kaboodle with an IR imager at peak load.

the fuse I bought is a t type littelfuse 150A (same hole sizes for 110-200A fuses). It will not fit without bungering up the threads. It's 0.5mm off, so I'm going to take the tiniest amount off for it to fit. I'll do that soon and post results. So dissapointed with the lynx shunt regarding...

If I'm reading this right, how does a BMS prevent battery discharge but retain voltage at the terminals? Wouldn't that still allow discharge?

Looked unsuccessfully for a similiar thread for this scenario: when the battery hits low voltage cut-off, is the MPPT at risk for damage due to presence of PV voltage and an open battery circuit?

These are great leads...thank you DIYrich! I'm running 4S2P(not good at the aconyms, but 2 parallel strings of 4 in series) on the roof; panels are in hand. Ground installation is not an option unfortunately. Here is my schematic of the system if you are at all interested (pieced it together...

Thanks Zanydroid, I will look into SunWorks! At this time I'm not interested in acquiring insurance....

Still looking...anyone out there?

Good catch! Yes, I counting on my single phase for 4kW.

As I've read on other posts and the fact I'm a newbie to the solar world, phase 1 is my baby step and will not use AC IN. Phase XX in the future, I would like to use the AC IN contingency even though the dream is to be completely self sufficient on solar and batteries. With that in mind, I...

Is it possible to post pics of your system?!
