    ❓ TDT-BMS Wanted Feedback/Experience

    Anyone got accurate port descriptions for the TDT-6032? The on I have I am trying to use CAN to talk to the inverter. The BMS vendor (reseller) is saying use Port 4, however that appears to used for parallel battery communications and not to talk to the inverter. I saw another image that says...

    Vestwoods 8K Hybrid Inverter and JBD BMS Hookup

    Anyone got the Pin outs for the JBD BMS for CAN and RS485 so I can attempt to make a cable to go to the Vestwoods/Megarevo inverter and pray I can get these 2 units to talk

    Vestwoods 8K Hybrid Inverter and JBD BMS Hookup

    I have a Vestwoods 8K Hybrid inverter I got from Signature Solar and have built a 48v LifeP04 battery using the JBD BMS and wanted to get them communicating with each other. Not sure if CAN bus or Rs485 is the way to go? Long term I am going to hook up a Eg4 Rack Mount battery but wanted to...

    What happened to the Vestwoods 8K Inverter?

    So unfortunately the only way to get it to output to the loads was to have a battery hooked up. Seems to be working some of the time now but there are 2 issues that Signature Solar is still trying to figure out. 1) The over voltage (70) alarm keeps going off whenever the Grid voltage exceeds...

    What happened to the Vestwoods 8K Inverter?

    Awesome, that may explain why the SolarMan app shows me producing power back to the Grid when It has no PV or Battery hooked up, just the input from the main panel powering it =o) I still have yet to get the firmware updated and get the latest menu settings so I can get this thing commissioned.

    What happened to the Vestwoods 8K Inverter?

    I would love to know who those owners are. Unfortunately I just bought one and cannot get any assistance on the unit from the vendor I purchased it from. We all know who that is🙂 but I would love to figure out how to set this up for grid tie and self-consumption

    EG4 6500EX-48 Expansive lesson learned!

    Anyone hooked that unit up for Grid Tie? I have one (have not installed it) and wanted to see if I could wire it for self consumption, selling power back to the grid when I am not using it for loads, then charging the battery as needed.

    Advice needed on a Hybrid Inverter for a Solar Trailer

    ok finally finished it ! 2.4K of Solar, 460Ah LifePo4 Battery Pack (actually 2 of 230ah packs), 6.5K Low Frequency Inverter producing 240VAC Split Phase at 25 amps or 120VAC at 50amps.

    R8KL1NA 48V Hybrid with Battery Backup when configured for Grid Tie

    when using the R8KL1NA 48V as a grid tie solution, is there anyway you can (even if manual) configure the until to use Battery when the Utility Grid goes down? I realize you would need a transfer switch or the equivalent to isolate the utility grid so you don't back feed to the grid.

    Advice needed on a Hybrid Inverter for a Solar Trailer

    Ill post the pictures here as I go, I have a bunch of LifePo4 EVE cells I have to make a massive battery pack with (tested that for 1 year with 2 3kw Growatt inverters and 8 panels), so I think the trailer (welding/fabricating) is the biggest challenge. I am going to make one of the sides on...
