Last year when I was looking into AIO systems I settled on the EG4 18Kpv. I remember seeing documentation on the signature solar site that went through all the different installation methods possible with this inverter. I can't find this PDF now and I didn't download it. Do any of you know...

I'm really liking what I see with the EG4 18KPV but I have a few questions. I'm in the middle of an energy audit now and I have a baseline of around 900-1000w of continuous usage before items like HVAC and other appliances factor in. I'm using about 30-40 Kw a day. This will probably go up for...

I'm in the middle of a geothermal installation at our home and I've been given the green light from my SO to do a residential solar installation since our camper setup is so successful. This is in Wisconsin, USA I've installed Emporia Vue2 on my main circuit breaker to get a good understanding...

Because of this video I've decided I'm just going to make a "shed" and then mount my panels on the shed. Our inspectors are pretty easygoing here but my town is growing quickly and it's bound to get harder to get permits for projects like this.

"Needed" depends on the application. For mobile applications, space and weight are at a premium and the higher the energy storage density, the better.

CATL says they're going into mass production this year, so they will be available. The only question in my mind is, how much of a premium will I have to pay for them?

CATL has announced plans to manufacture batteries with almost twice the capacity of the batteries used by Tesla. This will enable the electrification of aircraft. While this isn't as energy dense as the lithium air batteries which have been developed and achieve 4 times the energy density of...

One thing I was worried about with that is a controller not pushing in enough current because of higher voltage created by other controllers. I have already run into a situation where a smart charger(AC) wasn't bulk charging when it should because of the voltage coming in from the solar...

At our off grid cabin in Canada we have 2 100 AH AGM batteries. They are currently separate, running separate circuits. Because of uneven loads and the solar panel situation I plan to put them in parallel and have all loads on the same circuit. This runs led lights, cell phone chargers, marine...

I'm having trouble finding the right diodes. The highest rated amperage I've seen is one amp and I know there could be up to 20 amps going through the line when it's under load.

But since I am already running across 50 feet of 12 gauge from the house battery I should be getting a voltage drop to begin with. So no need for a diode, right?

I should have mentioned that the pump is triggered by a drop in water pressure. So it's remotely switched. I don't know anything about series diodes, I'll have to look into that. Thanks!

Is it as simple as wiring up the pump battery to the house battery? Are there any issues if the house battery is AGM and the pump is a smaller FLA?

It's coming from a 12V AGM battery that runs lights and radio in the house. 48V source isn't an option.

That's an interesting idea. Do you have any idea how much of a deviation in length you can have for a run like that? How would I calculate the gauge?

I'm having trouble finding a DC-DC voltage booster that will go from 12v to 60v. I've searched for days. In our off grid fishing cabin we have a water pump that is 50 feet from the house, which is where the battery is. The pump runs 12v and tops out at 19amps. The line we are installing is 8...

Yeah that's the easy part. Charging the snowmobile from the battery will be done overnight with AC type 1 charging. That's just a matter of adding an inverter that can handle the load.

There will be no motor, you are misunderstanding the project. I am planning to build a battery bank in my snowmobile trailer for charging my electric snowmobile. What I want to be able to do is charge the battery bank from an EV charging station.

I haven't built the battery bank yet. I'm still in the research and planning stage and I've got until late fall to get this done. I could build a 96 volt pack if I need to. It's looking like the best resources are going to be EV conversion forums and sites. Basically, I'm building an EV with...

Ultimately what I'd prefer is DC fast charging from a charging station to my battery bank. I'd like to be able to pull up to a charging station and charge the snow mobile and then charge the 48v battery bank in a short amount of time. I was hoping there would be some off the shelf hardware...

I've been looking for information on how to charge a DIY battery bank(LiFePo4) from a type 2 EV charger and I'm coming up empty. Do any of you have any ideas where I could look to learn about this? The ultimate application is a portable powerwall in my snowmobile trailer for my electric...

Also the crimp on the lead might not be great. I've had crappy leads result in the same symptom.

But also change the order of the cells and see if the problem stays with the cell.

When conspiracy theorists are dismissed and ignored they always whine about people "not having an open mind". Claims of big pharma stopping the use of a drug that big pharma manufactures is simply nutso. But even so I've read a lot of studies on Ivermectin and I have found, much to my...

This is conspiratorial talk. You might as well tell me about alien abductions and bigfoot.

There is no conclusive evidence for this claim.

Funny how none of those studies are from developed nations.

Source? Where are the double blind studies? I've seen in-vitro studies that were promising but to get the same effect in in-vivo studies the dosage required would cause neurological damage. I have seen a few studies that misrepresented their findings and they used those ivermectin results to...

For those of you who read books, I recommend the book "The Death of Expertise: The Campaign against Established Knowledge and Why it Matters" by Tom Nichols. For those of you who don't read books, please start.

I'm shocked at how many people get conned by these people. People don't seem to understand what a reliable source is. They can't change their opinion when new data appears and mainly believe what feels right or what their in-group is saying and then try to justify that belief with whatever they...

Dr. Joe Dispenza is not only a chiropractor(not a real doctor) he is listed at #627 on the Encyclopedia of American Loons http://americanloons.blogspot.com/2013/07/627-joseph-joe-dispenza.html

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanzhongguo Vision Times is one of the news organizations that Falun Gong's founder Li Hongzhi refers to as "our media".[4] The newspaper's president is the spokesperson for the Falun Dafa Association in New York, and is chair of another Falun Gong group called...

Yeah I'd definitely have the panels tilted and probably even have additional panels to deploy on the ground. There's also charging from the alternator of the truck and potentially from the generator in the camper. We typically don't stay in one place for more than 2 days so we would want to...
