I've bought several pre-made battery cables, up to 4/0, and they were always nice except for 1 bad crimp that I got.

I still want to refer to them as just they're current potential. SolArk 15k = SolArk 275a. EG4 18kPV = EG4 250a. MN "The One" = MN 210a. And so-on... Might fix the naming confusion to refer to it in a manner that cannot be argued?

Most all recent BMS's have the same kind of shunt to measure SOC. If you want an actual accurate reading, then get a standalone Shunt, like the Victron SmartShunt. The JK, Pace, Seplos, etc, are pretty good, but they all need regular calibration (ie hitting 100% occasionally) to be accurate

I use Seplos BMS's in my DIY packs and they work very well with Deye/SolArk inverters. I also have plenty of Pace BMS's, but I no longer use closed loop comms because of incompatibility between the different BMS's.

Cheaper racking! Dear lord mounting solutions are more expensive than the solar panels they are holding!

I like the idea of stronger Monitoring!!!

Take that one step further. Inverter/breaker panel all in one! It can take the breaker panels place and use less space!

Peel the black plastic and clean all the residue off. Need to see if there is any sanding around the QR code

Hey. My mom says I'm handsome!

To piggy back on @chrisski, since there is no 240v need, you could just purchase another EG4 3000w inverter and wire each one up to half of your power distribution box (breaker panel). This will also allow you to plug into 50a or 30a RV service and it will either allow both or 1 inverter to...

I have had quite a few do this, but not that much. Thicker insulation definitely prevents the cap from screwing ALL the way down sometimes, I figure if it is sealed, then it should be fine.

How are you going to scrub them like your wipers do?

Thanks Dad for giving me work ethic and not just millions of dollars 🙄 so much better 🤣

I do not have an emergency stop button. I only have the on/off button on the front of the inverter, and the PV disconnect switch on the left side. Approved in California in 2022.

I just have my CCA powered off a breaker in the "Load" panel, going to a step down converter to the CCA. Therefore if the inverter shuts down, so does the CCA, therefore triggering the PV to turn off. Simple.
