SRNE 20KW parallel ASP journey.

Let me know if you have better luck following that advice...then I have!
{I want to order up some more cells too!!, and twin 12kW SRNE and, set up more PV ... DSAM!}

I'm going to try and hold off on more lithium until August. I have other tools I need to buy and build in July; eventually I need to get into re-using brass as well, it's becoming an expensive addiction like solar.

 

[OffGridForGood]

Yeah, I told myself to hold off on any new Solar purchases while there are some new products coming to market. I have enough battery and solar 'most of the time' especially weekends when the shop is closed. I am so tempted by those 12kW SRNE, maybe if my new client comes back with some work - would be enough to pay for a pair of SRNE and some new PV...for the barn. LOL.
Meanwhile I have a new 30 x 40 Aluminum/glass green house to put up and have been preparing a site for a new barn...then had to to stop and fix a few things on some cars, find and fix a leak on my Ram A/C...my spouse tells me today we are hosting a wedding in 4 weeks "and the yard has to look neat and tidy" AKA no new construction in late July...darn it I got plans!, but life just keeps getting in my way !

Good morning! Hopefully today is lots of solar power production!

Looking good so far.
I won't top the 50KWh I harvested yesterday, had to go to this silly thing called work so I can support the addiction.

A/C...my spouse tells me today we are hosting a wedding in 4 weeks "and the yard has to look neat and tidy

Well then, you better get after it! 4 weeks is plenty of time..

 

[OffGridForGood]

Got started on it - also got some "stink eye" for augering foundations holes in the yard...Oh well, now I am incentivized to "git-er-done"!!

Looks good man... Twin sons of different mothers

Finally got them hooked up to SA and one array hooked up.
Still no issues.
Need to get the rest of the battery packs and arrays connected.

 

[42OhmsPA]

They seem to balance loads well, as they should.


I guess it's expected the current and voltage would be off since I only have PV hooked up to 1 of them.

I'm getting bored working in the basement, high load tests will likely wait until tomorrow. Hopefully 26KWh of battery gets me through the night .


PS - you can tap the color bar in SA to change it for each inverter and you can tap the inverter to toggle it, unfortunately the settings don't stay when you leave the page.

THIS !!
so frustrating to have to reset the colours every time I return to that page... SA - ASK #xxx

Gotta stress test it more.
(Battery data isn't accurate yet).

Hate how SA scales charts...

Edit to add the dryer.

You need an ev or two, lol. That or I run 6 bitcoin miners for about about 21kw of load.

Still trying to find a good deal on a Niro and still pissed the dealer sold the one I was going to test drive...
I did look into bitcoin, I just don't see the ROI being quick enough plus I'd have to get starlink or some other internet then a cell phone hotspot I think.

Bitcoin only has return on investment if you go postal like I did with the miners. It takes large miners now to make $$.

It doesn't take a bunch of bandwidth but it does need to be consistent to keep from missing packet turn ins so yeah starlink would probably be a good idea.

This is awesome! Throw some washer and dryer action in and you'll be near peak

Ahh I forgot the dryer was on, thanks.

They didn't have any issues earlier with an 8-10KW load and the ~43A inrush from the well pump.

I'll hit them with the air compressor later today and some other high loads.

The humidity outside is dropping fast and 2A warehouse delivered a nice heavy box earlier...

It's nice not needing to worry about overloading

 

[42OhmsPA]

Well that didn't take long... Had my first issue, don't worry it was user error.

Make sure you set setting 37 at a higher voltage, it's the battery voltage point for charging to restart. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't seeing the normal photon harvesting I would this time of day...
You should he able to see when I changed setting 37 from 52V to 53.8V....

This is an issue that isn't well documented at all. Currently I can't change setting 37 above 52.8...but that changes I think if my batteries are at a higher voltage...I'm still trying to figure it out.

Interesting. I can't get mine to 54 like the manual says it can go to and my batteries are at 53.8.

I'll post if I figure anything out.

I sent an email off to SGP too... I'll update from this end...I did get it to a higher number on the first day but then set it down to the lower number and now can't go back up.

Ok on a whim I raised my float voltage (11) up to 55 and then I could up {37) to 54... Then I reduced float back to 54.2.

I just sent a message off to Borick and emailed SRNE support.

I'll go try that here in a bit.
Hopefully support knows the answer as well....
