Bummber that what I feared. I do not have a BMS. hence the problem. How would I trickle charge at such a slow rate?

Afteroon everyone. I have a one of those MPP Solar LV2424 all in on hybrid inverters and a 24v 8s LiFePO4 DIY battery bank. I know this all works and had no issues until life got in the way. I have a 1 year old, and right about the time my kid was born, the batteries drained and I didnt have...

Where in the PNW are you located? Im thinking about adding a turbine that I got to my existing system because why not. Living in east Portland there is always some sort of breeze

Hey everyone, Just bought a house that came with a wind turbine. My current system consists of 2 310w solar panels connected to one of those all-in-one LV2424 hybrid inverters which charges my 24v 8s LiFePO4 battery bank. My questions are the following; 1. Can I simply get a wind specific charge...

It would seem that the point of the setting is to prevent the backfeed to the grid from exceeding the voltage rate of the breakers?

Similar threads Started reading through the various setting on these inverters and came across setting 3, 'output voltage'. The description of each option starts out with "If selected, acceptable feed-in grid voltage range will be ...... " The wording seems odd here, is this referring to the...

Very nice! Maybe my solution here is to just move more stuff into the basement.... or here's an idea, disconnect the circuit to my home office from my main panel and connect that wiring directly to the inverter output...is that crazy?

My priority definitely aligns with yours, keeping the batteries mostly full most of the time for emergency backup. Connecting as much as I can to my inverter output is the logical place my brain went but my inverter & battery bank are in the basement, while my home office (with a small window...

My objective is to utilize as much of the PV generated power as possible. Currently, once my battery bank is full, the excess power floats off into space. What's my best option to utilize the excess power generated here?

Is your LV2424 the green one? It seems there are several models that have the same "LV2424". Regardless, to supplement the load my house is using with solar, I just plug the 'AC In' into any old outlet in the home and enable the grid tie option? Seems too easy, like I am missing something...

How did you configure your TightVNC connection? I have my laptop connected to the LV242....

What is the difference between the CellMeter 8 and the AiLi Battery Monitor? Is there something that one does that the other doesnt?

Awesome! I just sent my payment this morning, however I ordered through Dongguan Lightning Energy. I was able to get 8 280Ah cells for $916 with shipping included.

Nice to find a fellow Oregonian here! How long did it take to get your cells? I'm about to place an order with them just waiting for some verification videos

I'm about to place an order with Rain as well. What kind of verification did you request?

Ive decided to go the build your own battery route. I reached out about the 3.2v 105Ah cells they have and Wan Amy literally told me do not buy these until there is a new batch because what is currently remaining, is a poor quality. Very impressed with a company when they refuse to sell...

All extremely helpful! Thanks a ton!

Very cool! I am going to be using this device 100% off the grid. (I could have grid access however, it is quite inconvenient)

I have considered building my own battery (the actual build doesn't seem like that crazy of an undertaking) however, I have a couple concerns; 1. I've read some horror stories about people getting stuck with duds for batteries and I am not sure I know quite enough to protect myself here 2. I am...

I am curious why you need this converter?

That's a sweet looking setup! Can you provide links for the batteries? Also I just checked my shipping status and its scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning?!?

I looked over mine and couldnt find anything about it. I am more asking because I dont have grid access easily accessible 24/7

Thats awesome! I just went ahead and pulled the trigger so hopefully I don't have to wait until July for mine ;)

Have you or anyone else here had experience with this company? https://www.santansolar.com/product/jinko-400w/ For a brand new panel, .50 cents a watt is a pretty good deal I think. What is the difference between Open circuit voltage (VOC) & Max power voltage (VMP)?

Lol ya that's where I'm showing my inexperience...I'll update the posts to reflect that

No particular attraction...I'll hunt down some craigslist options! That is the max watt hours usage of the induction burner at full blast. I will be closer to the 1200W range

First timer here trying to get my feet wet. I'm looking to keep my initial budget under $2500 but build it in a way that allows me to expand my storage and panel capacity. Ive read many times that you must have a plan so that's exactly what I have below and I'm looking for a couple things; tips...

I am close to clicking the buy button on this myself, however, do you know if this can be used 100% off grid? I'm going to be powering a standalone shed

Can you use the LV 2424 without hooking it up to the grid? Strictly off grid?
