Post Battery Bank and Inverter! (pictures only)

31kWh of Seplos with Eve and envision cells. 3.6kW Sunsynk (about to swap in an 8)

This replaces an outback vfx3048 system we’ve had for the last 15yrs, originally on wet nicads then on a diy’d LFP pack with batrium.

48V system using two 5000 PowMr inverters and 16 314Ah Eve LiFePo4 batteries to power my 20K BTU multi head min-split HVAC system.
Feeding it from a 20 panel 230W PV array. 10 PV in series, 2 banks run to the inverters in parallel. The inverters can't handle 20 PV in series voltage.
Still have to hook up the 120VAC aspect from the fuse panel to the inverters and then the inverters to the compressor. I'm using each inverter as a leg to power the 240VAC split phase compressor.

I've also installed an EG4 mini-split that's running off of 9 PV. I still have to get them mounted and wired up.

Mine still looks the same now (minus any cryptocoin mining rigs). I built a battery from 63 G1 Nissan Leaf modules that I harvested from whole batteries in 2017 and eventually put a Nuvation BMS on it. I got a pallet of 36 used 72 cell solar panels from SanTan Solar around the same time. I used an MPPSolar 5kw split phase for a while, backup circuits where on it, and then I had two 1kw grid-tie inverters with limiters that supplemented the rest of the house. That whole setup worked great but for some reason I couldn't leave it alone and I went to a Growatt 12kW low-frequency inverter and then a Deye 8kW in 2020. I do zero-export with the grid and use the battery as a buffer but let it rest at 50% SoC every night for backup power. I sort of want to redue the whole thing at this point but can't justify the expenditure. I accomplished my goal of having backup power because I work from home, and supplementing the power bill because of AC use living outside of Vegas.

Let's try this out. Take a quick picture or 5 of your current battery and system and share it here!

Let's keep all posts focused on pictures only. If you like a system, give it a thumbs up but don't reply!

Let's see if we can pull this off!

Happy with my Gobel batteries. They will replace the Tesla and the Pylontech.
