It's called a raceway...

Sorry my reply isn't timely! I've got the Outback Radian inverter/charger, 8kW (good for 100% overload for a little bit!) Our 4,000 square foot house in a moderate climate has been hanging off these for 3.5 years now, Paul

It seems like you could use an MPPT charge controller, and feed it a full-wave rectified output from a generator... maybe some capacitive, inductive filtering. Sure, the charge controller has functionality you don't need... but it gives you a readily available back door into the battery. I've...

Translation: Hello, does anyone have a user manual and settings for the BMS, there are some entries that cannot be translated into English

I do not see an exact solution there… My generator is 240/120 and my battery is 65 V DC. That's a tall order for off-the-shelf battery chargers, but of course a standard configuration for an MPPT. The only rub is that even a half wave rectifier on center tapped 240 will generate 170 VDC, so...

What are you spendings $4k on? 4kW of Radian inverter is closer to half that... even less used.

You could find, or make, a bushing to contact the larger base... maybe with a spring washer to ensure contact. Paul

We installed an Outback radian inverter, fed by batteries. The outback is smart enough to feed through utility power when it's available... you could configure it to run off solar when available, then switch seamlessly to utility when the solar fades. We have an interlocked breaker setup like...

avgas will last a very long time without Stabi. There was a military aircraft that landed on the Greenland ice cap in the 1940's. It was rediscovered and removed for restoration about 1990. The avgas in the tanks was still good, albeit in cold storage. we run avgas in our generator, shredder...

These guys sell a system that switches solar to each unit in turn, and keeps track... https://www.electrictrees.com/et/ You don't want to sell back, the IOU will eat your lunch. On the other hand, solar can't compete with the EV rate... so let the IOU charge the car, and build solar for...

If you're truly a hacker, you could add a $300 inverter to your existing compressor...you'd need to work the controls to do a very soft start... but you can get the inrush down to almost nothing. When the thermostat calls for cool, take 30 seconds to ramp that baby up to 60 Hz. If you want to...

I've got an Outback Radian inverter charger, configured to never output to grid. My Reliance manual transfer switch is always in inverter mode... normal operation, the Radian passes utility power through to the house. If the utility falters, the Radian picks up in a split second: lights don't...

Here's a battery restoration saga, based on Concorde's published procedure. I see the pun!

Hello Davis Jo, I have four of these running my house, I'd love to have four more. Let's arrange pickup! see attached for my email address.., Paul
