I was looking around again for cheaper filters for the heck of it today and did come across this guy https://www.ebay.com/itm/1952573858...D%3D|ampid:PL_CLK|clp:2047675&epid=1093169783
This is the tracking filter I said could be built with a diode bridge and an electrolytic capacitor. It is to limit spikes above what anormal sine wave would have. Not really a filter, but a voltage limiter.I was looking around again for cheaper filters for the heck of it today and did come across this guy https://www.ebay.com/itm/195257385850?_trkparms=amclksrc=ITM&aid=1110006&algo=HOMESPLICE.SIM&ao=1&asc=240678&meid=d1c1ba8fd1c04235bbf3f2a792a39d76&pid=101195&rk=3&rkt=12&sd=354175300775&itm=195257385850&pmt=1&noa=0&pg=2047675&algv=SimplAMLv9PairwiseWebMskuAspectsV202110NoVariantSeedKnnRecallV1WithNode2Vec&_trksid=p2047675.c101195.m1851&amdata=cksum:195257385850d1c1ba8fd1c04235bbf3f2a792a39d76|enc:AQAHAAABIFVvFeUTQhL4KP79koL%2B4Ydgokeb2CQrAyC%2BOwbdpQetV2qAC7C3Vu0XLY04JD2l71qihjhRi6NHnF8%2BhgXS2aYrSe2gbn68aOiuHVBnxF63XbHYvJGIfK7nu%2FEvUnYycI%2BjMt5yWWCnVOg6S8jWUF76Xi7YNJzoo%2F5uoXW%2FpP6dxAkCeQh%2B69UvhVLBLDS%2BJl0mbyETVDLx2wyrUXBgcUmGR7KPH5M%2B7fh7M%2FEQhYz8Jr%2FtQTb9uiNiLwA7p2tuqZ%2FXvmZlfRXYbMEkHTy14OZ8kEhxIWXtVcoLbrwSeMgag9MC8qgS8HybKlbMeDNL%2BJxVzLxGmqhXtAV6rA4JydPxHwW3XvDX1%2F6d963N%2F8kZ%2BDZkMNF7DuKP%2BqN8Ki3lpQ%3D%3D|ampidL_CLK|clp:2047675&epid=1093169783
Welcome to the Government.I have an E2 and I am an electrical engineer by trade yet he refused to issue me a permit. I had all the required drawings and engineering reports but I am not an "experienced solar installer or a licensed company" so he refused. Long story, but after months of back and forth it was just easier to pay someone else. TBH I installed 98% of it and all I paid for was the final hookup and pulling of the permits. The city has a serious racquet with a few install companies that give a kickback to the city in the form of donations to parks etc so it is legal. If you use them you get an inspection within a week. My neighbor did not use one of those companies, been waiting since may for a final inspection to commission the system.
We have the ability to make them here.I totally agree, but we should not be outsourcing so much of this stuff to China....but we do and we get questionable products and components as a result. So, we get cheap, sometimes malfunctioning products billed as quality. It's the price we currently pay.
This is exactly what happens and the only way around it is to have a large respected company in China make your product so that the other companies in China fear crossing them and facing the wrath of the CCP.We have the ability to make them here.
Problem is China just buys them then Reverse engineers them. Makes a ton of clones and put company out of business.
Try to sue them for IP or patent or whatever and suddenly it’s Government company and you can’t sue a Government.
Yup. That’s unfortunate.This is exactly what happens and the only way around it is to have a large respected company in China make your product so that the other companies in China fear crossing them and facing the wrath of the CCP.
Of course this mafia style protection is going to cost you in terms of sharing IP with them and giving them some regions of the global market share that they are free to distribute their own branded copy of your product.
Your only leverage is making sure you have patents on your design in the major countries. They are able to sell it in those regions using your permission, which means if they screw you the permission is revoked.
For the CCP they are only interested in the foreign revenue so they are not happy if something cuts into that.
They are pretty good at manipulating you and playing with your emotions, I have to give them extra points for that. The way they convinced you to keep it instead of initiate the paypal dispute was masterful. They should use this thread at the factory in China to help explain how to string customers along with false promises.On a positive note they did reach out this morning asking me to describe the issues again. After 30 plus emails you would think they got it by now. I am assuming the US engineering team received the unit and are looking into the issue.
Hahaha it's OK I opened a dispute with VISA which is where the Paypal payment came from. I have another 30 days or so. They requested all the correspondences from SunGold Power in the meantime just to show I gave them a "reasonable amount of time" to remedy the issue.They are pretty good at manipulating you and playing with your emotions, I have to give them extra points for that.

It's already a well known playbook in China. Pretend to care just long enough that the deal is sealed.They are pretty good at manipulating you and playing with your emotions, I have to give them extra points for that.

I had a Renogy 12v/3000w PSW Inverter in my system to start out Battery back was 12v. Lights flickered. I replaced the 12v/3000w inverter with a 24v/4000w inverter. I also reconfigured the (8) 100Ah SEALED Batteries to a 24v bank (2p4s). The pulsing went away. I think the high current on the DC side of the inverter made it harder for the inverter to keep the voltage output precise. Also, sometimes I was running the inverter close to max.So I pulled the circuits that have dimmers out of the panel and temporarily tired them into an Ego Nexus Power Station. That is a pure sine inverter as well, no flickering at all. I do not have a scope to check the wave on the 6548 but the voltage and hertz are correct and not jumping. Appears to be an inverter deficiency. What a disappointment. I have leviton and lutron led dimmers attached to philips and cree bulbs so not cheap hardware. Only other thing I can think of is it's some kind of noise on the DC side... shrugs
No the products are not all bad but the way they manipulate the market is.Don't forget SolArk, Apple, Dell all also made in China but are highly regarded.. Not all Chinese products are bad just because they are built there.
