  • Post in thread: Using Tesla model 3 or Y batteries for solar backup

    So I am doing exactly what you're doing and being offered assistance by a gentleman in the Netherlands. Extremely knowledgeable guy with creative solutions to this very pack. These packs are extremely energy dense and can handle ALOT of amps. Now our houses don't use the amount a car can pull...
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    I'm trying to find a supplier that does have single-phase units here in the US. The research I have done shows that Sol-Ark is the sister company and uses the Deye Inverter, which just rebranded. Sol-Ark does not have an HV DC battery input inverter with a single phase.
  • Post in thread: Sail Solar

    I have reached out to a few companies trying to get the Megarevo HV Hybrid inverters for the US. One company I have been talking to is Sail Solar (www.sailsolarpv.com) and they seem to be the best price, have constant communication, and are able to answer and provide any documents I have...

    Very cool. Definitely a diy approach in all of those. Do you have a wiring diagram of your setup? Also, what difference do you seen between the 2 codes that will affect the solar portion of it. I’m not sure what we are here in north east Indiana.
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    Has anyone else found any more High Voltage inverters? Does anyone have a Deye unit in the US? It seems the Deye units have US settings, but would be curious to see if anyone has confirmed this.
  • Post in thread: 650W Canadian Solar Panels: Whole Sale Cost North East Indiana

    Thanks for the tip! When I say wholesale, I mean wholesale pricing. I merely bought these from a government auction for nearly the same price as I am selling them for. I bought them for $0.28/W and want to help and pass along the savings, honestly. I am using the panels myself for a 20kw system...
  • Post in thread: 650W Canadian Solar Panels: Whole Sale Cost North East Indiana

    I am using these! I am building myself a 20kw system in the springtime so I am holding onto 1 pallet plus maybe 2 or 3 panels for backup, but bought them for $0.28/W and want to help and pass along the savings, honestly. I figured I would help others do the same, and bridge the gap.
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    Do you have the manual for your unit?
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    Interesting... It says for battery input of having a nominal 150V but yet has a range much higher....? I would be curious if you were able to take your 4 batteries and place them in series to get 192v nominal and see what happens! Probably not the best test to do though since your system has...
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    Exactly. Trying to reach out to these inverter companies is posing quite a challenge. I'll keep searching, but having no luck at the moment. When you bought yours, did you have any contact you made during the process?

  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    I do not have the charger, DC-DC converter and the Tesla BMS units I had were damaged. Plus I want a bit more control when it comes to charging protocols, diagnostics, and data from the time of use.
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    Email sent and went through so that's another contact I can at least try! Can't thank you enough for the information! Major help and if you happen to do any more research on the high-voltage battery input, send it my way!
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    This seems to be a clean install. That is also quite the opposite of what I had heard about these inverters as I am using the Model 3 Tesla battery packs as my battery bank. These batteries have a nominal voltage of 355V with the max being 400V. I have an absolute steal with 1 completely healthy...
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    And you're running the 96v battery correct rather than a HV setup that I am after, correct? Would you be so kind as to share your settings with us either by photos/screen shots or protocols? I remember seeing your setup earlier in this thread.
  • Post in thread: Using Tesla model 3 or Y batteries for solar backup

    Also, message me and I'd like to get you in a messaging thread with my friend who has been guiding me as he is the one with the knowledge.
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    Whenever you get back in town, share what settings you want. I think it would be a good idea to get these units more exposure as they seem to be a great HV alternative if things can work properly between them.
  • Post in thread: Settings for Deye off-grid with smart load and generator

    What country are you from? You should share your settings with others as well. I know the Deye and the Megarevo units are identical.
  • Post in thread: 650W Canadian Solar Panels: Whole Sale Cost North East Indiana

    I believe I have 4 or 5 left. I will have to check as I just sold a bunch late last week. But for sure 5 pallets, may be more.
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    So the photos you sent are the batteries you bought rather than building your own? That's great news to hear about the Megarevo unit as I am your neighbor from the south (IN), rather close to the boarder as well. Who was your supplier for the Megarevo and what unit did you end up going with?
  • Post in thread: Settings for Deye off-grid with smart load and generator

    Where in the US? What was your supplier? Is the Deye UL certified? I'm asking because I would like a Deye unit, but with the HV hybrid inverter, but not sure if they have these in the US like Megarevo does.
  • Post in thread: Charging and Load Testing Tesla Model 3, 25S modules

    I have 4 packs of the Tesla Model 3 (16 total modules) that I am currently going through as we as using at least 1 whole pack for an HV hybrid setup using either the Megarevo unit or the GoodWe units as both have inputs of 400V from the battery input. I will also be using an Orion BMS to monitor...
  • Post in thread: Settings for Deye off-grid with smart load and generator

    True, don't need that safety aspect when you're the power source! I figured as I wasn't able to find a US supplier for the Deye units.
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    No. I found a few suppliers, but not sure their customer service is up to par honestly. I mean do you have a supplier here in the US? I've looked at and discussed a few from Alibaba, but we all know those websites. Plus, if these GoodWe A-ES is something comparable and can pass inspection...
  • Post in thread: tesla model 3 full battery powerwall

    GoodWe and Megarevo both have HV battery input along with being a Hybrid inverter. Do you have a way to communicate to the BMS on the Tesla battery as I've heard it's extremely difficult and not sure if anyway has been successful in communicating with it. I am using an Orion BMS instead and...
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    So you are still connected to the grid, just isn't hooked up to a bidirectional meter then correct? That way no back feeding can happen.
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    Would there be a way to have the permitted installation not include the battery itself and set up the system for the battery hook-up? Get it approved then after it's closed out, add the battery to the system.
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    The Solid 5G series doesn't allow for a battery input from their data sheets though? The Goodwe A-ES series does allow for battery input. This is only from a quick search thus far.
  • Post in thread: Settings for Deye off-grid with smart load and generator

    Which unit do you have? What country/State are you in?
  • Post in thread: High Voltage Inverter

    Interesting. Never knew that was even an option! What kind of surge do you see when te large appliances start up? Is it something the inverter can handle on its own?
