    Ruixu 16kWh LiFePO4 Early Adopter

    I was seriously looking at a 48V RHINO for this reason, have wall space but not much "depth" so wanted something low profile-ish.

    Yup! Thankfully no damage and everything still works as expected and at capacity.

    What was your worse DIY solar mistake ever?

    Forgot the last two tie downs on my sinclair rack, don't remember how/why (other than being in a rush), more than a few wind storms everything was fine, finally after one winter time high wind storm (tho no snow...), noticed the following after seeing reduced power on one string

    Over Paneling, Over Inverter Voltage with Breaker

    After I posted brain clicked and went "maybe he's asking about adding more panels....". I blame the work week

    Over Paneling, Over Inverter Voltage with Breaker

    You have 24 panels at 435 watts each, that's ~10.4kw assuming ideal conditions, to "use" the other 6kw of your inverters you need more panels. Unless I'm missing something in your post.

    Pool heat pumps?

    My brother expressed this too, but he also uses a combo of heat pump and boiler. For John I can't recall an exact video for in-slab and fan coil using the same temp water, he does highlight the design of staple up radiant like you mentioned. The webinars are so long that I'm not going to go...

    Pool heat pumps?

    Lookup john siegenthaler on youtube, he's been pushing low temp hydronics for a long time. I heated my house through winter with A2W heat pump with a max water temp of 101, at 32F I only need 97F water. This is for radiant in basement concrete slab and an air handler for the rest of the house...

    End of ground source with R290 monoblocks?

    EG4 Indoor 280Ah 48v WallMount Battery

    I was looking at the Big Battery Rhino for this reason, I have wall space but not much floor space so the less than 5 inch depth is intriguing. Price point is not as good though compared to this EG4 or the Ruixu wall mount units

    Ruixu 16kWh LiFePO4 Early Adopter

    Given the early adopter discount bringing the cost per kwh way down, it's tempting...have until April 30th to get it at that price, bigger question is to wait for your video or take the "risk" and just get it...
