Signature Solar is out of stock on these cables and has to order more from China. Just paid $58 including shipping for one from Watts247. Hope it works. Alibaba has them listed but seems bugged when I try to make an account and it would have to come from China. I'm sincerely bummed us EG4...

Let me know when finally order and the final price to your door! I swear I got double the fees that were quoted in my trade agreement when I finally hit "pay." Just bought 32x 280 ah cells, no case, for $2400 from Docan through Daisy. Quote was $2200. Still the best prices direct from China...

Has anyone used the 18K in conjunction with the zero export feature? I have the solark 15k and it has a similar feature called limit power to home. Does the 18k by EG4 come with current sensors and does it back feed your main panel as it senses current flowing from your meter to loads in your home?

I'm thinking about adding another battery to my battery bank. I had a generally good experience with Docan tech, so I started shopping around on their Alibaba page. Things seems to have gotten cheaper per kwh for certain models and lots of LiFePO4 cells (I have lots of theories) and I was...

I got the update file from tech support, but I don't have the right cable!!! May I borrow your USB to RS232 cable? I'm having this issue and my unit didn't come with one!!!

It's not a sub panel, it's the only panel! What model inverter? The bond between neutral and ground is likely in the inverter on the AC output, so just run you a 4 to 6 AWG copper ground wire from your inverter to the ground bar on your loads panel AND to rods in the ground, otherwise you'll...

Standoffs from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMVNTDMX?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details For solar, I've never had trouble with the 300 volt Midnite breakers as a two pole breaker for positive and negative rather than a single conductor breaker wired in series with the copper jumper...

I rebuilt an older Midnight Solar combiner box and I was pleased with how it turned out. As my peak current is under 30 amps I like using recycled bus bars or ground bar kits from the store with polyester standoffs from Amazon rather than paying extra for oversized bus bars branded for solar...

I saw Will's latest tear down video on cheap 12 volt batteries, and I was wondering, has anyone bought and used the 48 volt 100 AH Vatrer server rack battery? (this is Will's affiliate link to their Amazon page)...

Location Forsyth county North Carolina. New in the box! These are warranty replacements direct from Signature Solar. I bought a Sol-Ark to replace my 6500 pair which failed and no longer need my replacement EG4 units. They are currently sitting in my living room unopened and I'd love to sell...

Saw this in an email from Renvu. Looks like a great way to turn the ground under your solar field into a lifeless desert. But it could be a good option for some people. 40 year lifespan, High Density Polyethylene https://www.renvu.com/PowerField-Energy-PowerRack-Solar-PV-Ground-Mount-System

Located in North Carolina. $50 shipping if you can't drive to me. DM me with an offer.

I decided to go a different direction after mounting this 6000 split phase unit in my solar power plant. Unused, powered up on the battery bank to confirm it functions. 160 amp Suntree DC breaker and 2 AWG leads also available for sale. Precharge resistor included for free. DM me with your...
