You went with the ABP, correct?
They look great.
This is very exciting!! The first ABPs in the wild (documented on this forum at least
)

I think there was something floating around a while back but newer models would make it obsolete.
What comes to mind quickly.
HYP - basic 5kW single phase, can be paralleled for split phase. Has AC input breaker.
ASP - basic 10kW split phase, can be paralleled (* 3 phase attempts did not work well). Dual 22A 5500W 500VOC (~425 working volts) MPPTs. Has AC input breaker.
ABP - slightly upgraded ASP, has additional breakers built in.
HESP - fancy grid interactive, not a very high pass through.
HEBP - fancier grid interactive with a high pass through.

That's correct.

Fwiw, Sams Club had/has a 12k window AC, Inverter, Midea, not the U, on sales for $249.

My Dad bought 2 of them.
I had him convinced to go with a mini split until, even though he didn't need heat, until I saw that price.... They are back up to $300 now.

Well, the 8000 btu inverter is $249 now. If thats all you need, thats not a bad price. I was surprised to see the 12000 at $249.

I bought one of these. It has been fantastic. Rarely runs higher than 690 watts.

You need to drill the bars and ensure those are copper and not brass. Second, the base has to be solid and the studs held well in place. More than one member bought busbars off Amazon and found the bars were brass and the studs heated up and pulled out of the base.
The 600A busbar shown here was recommended by another member here. It is copper, I drilled one. It is built well. It is on Amazon.

Drilled them, they are tinned copper. I'll post pics.

I've been running the shop heat pump non stop for a few weeks now. I need to get the second heat pump installed. The past week was the highest yield I had yet from the 8.8Kw of panels. 282 Kwh for the week.
I wasn't able to enjoy the cool shop over the weekend, busy taking down more ash trees. Not fun with hot and muggy weather. Weather forecast was for cool temps. Somebody lied. Only one ash tree left. I think winter at -10°F would be a good time to cut it down after this weekend.

Weather has been kicking my butt this month. I have been running the eco-worthy 60 amp charger off the dryer outlet nearly daily to keep things going. Can't get any decent production between rain and clouds. I was so looking forward to spring/summer to see what all of the panels I had added could do but its been pathetic so far because of the weather.

Lots of thick smoke from the wildfires out west has made the midwest very hazy even on "clear" days.

Solar sucks here in Wisconsin also. Good start to the month, then crap, smoke and clouds......

Lake Erie south of Monroe, Mi. This is a "sunny day with a few clouds". Notice the haze. The sky is white where there are no clouds. Air quality is poor.

It rained the last few days, showers on Saturday, then poured overnight. Sunday night into Monday rain again and clouds all day yesterday.
Today would be sunny but the sky is white. One would think that crap would wash out of the sky at some point. And Canada would run out of fuel to burn. There must be bad management of forests in Canada.

A lot of lightening!! That used to be my old stomping grounds - the panhandle of Florida and lower Alabama
so my paralleled units which essentially is the same as this, I keep getting inverter cutouts once a day in the afternoon, likely when all my AC units are running.
I saw what I believe to be error 30 flashing on both the other day, but havent had time to track down the issue. the amp and watt pull is not exceeding the inverter capacity, but I believe i am somehow undervolting in some way on the batteries.
any thoughts?
