    Awesome ? !
  • Post in thread: Just blew both 200a Class T fuses after precharging with a 25w / 30ohm resistor…?

    50 ohm, how many watts? You can buy 1/4 watt 50 ohm resistors and you can buy 100 watt 50 ohm resistors.
  • Post in thread: EG 3000 SCC Display sub-freezing

    Current can't be 'sent' if it cannot be received. Current is drawn by a load, not pushed by a source. If the display is saying that it's charging, it is charging.
  • Post in thread: EG4 6500ex-48 shows battery charging even when EG LL V2 battery shows 100% and standby

    Set the inverter that is currently at eg4 the user and ensure all the settings are the same in both inverters. Edit.. and those settings are fine.

  • Post in thread: EG4-6500 switch from battery to utility

    If the battery declined to the point of your 'to grid' setting and then the sun came up it's in that cycle and stuck there until it reaches your 'back to battery' setting. so yes, it is possible that you would have lots of solar but still be on grid because you're back to battery voltage is set...
  • Post in thread: Winter panel performance - yes I know the sun is lower etc.

    Every inclinometer app I've tried measures from horizontal.
  • Post in thread: Solar Assistant EG4 Lifepower

    See link in post number 12 of this thread to the solar assistant help page.
  • Post in thread: Frequent lifepo4 system shutdown

    You need to top balance the cells. You have .504 volt differential between the lowest and the highest cell. When you are charging, one cell is way ahead of the others and hits high voltage disconnect. When you're discharging one cell is way ahead of the others and you hit low voltage disconnect...
  • Post in thread: Solar Water Pump Issues

    Solar panels almost never make their rated Watts. And they must be pointed at the Sun. It is not daylight that energizes them it is 90° sunshine striking the panels that energizes them.
  • Post in thread: Solar Assistant Wish list, Bugs and Issues.

    I recall seeing something on solar assistants website about raspberry pi 4 not working. Which is why when you buy their service with the hardware it comes with a raspberry pi 3
  • Post in thread: "Low current overcharge"

    But the only way to "continue charging" is with a higher voltage. Not sure I understand now this "low current overcharge" happens if your charger is set correctly.
  • Post in thread: Some thoughts on designing a perfect off grid hybrid inverter.

    He's not wrong.
  • Post in thread: Utility Charge Only

    Agree with above. You can't charge and discharge the same battery simultaneously from the same inverter charger.

    References please.
  • Post in thread: Solar Water Pump Issues

    Safe, yes. Advisable, no. The 100 watt panel will limit the 370 watt panel to 100 Watts
  • Post in thread: Overkill Solar not balancing?

    I just want to point out that 70 mv up there isn't that bad. At 14.0, 14.1 volts
  • Post in thread: Custom cover for battery mains?

    Saw cut and acrylic sheet. 1 of 2.
  • Post in thread: Rv solar an shore conjunctually

    Not sure conjun...is a word but... Yes, with an all in one unit from MppSolar. My lv3048's blend grid and solar and battery based on settings that I have input. Up to the max capacity of the inverter.
  • Post in thread: Low Battery Inverter Shutdown

    Been saying that for about an hour now... Gonna do it or what?
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF 3000 cuts off solar input when sun is peaking

    For example.
  • Post in thread: Solar Assistant Inverter values

    How are the outputs wired to your loads? I, too am split phase with 2 boxes. My L1 and L2 are ALWAYS different but neither is ever zero. To me that looks like you don't have a load hooked up to the second inverter.
  • Post in thread: EG4 batteries low percentage 0% 6000ex

    And you are concerned about 48 volts being 0%? That's what the shunt has learned is 0%. In my system I set back to grid at 50 volts and 50 volts is now my 0%. As far as solar not being enough to charge above 35%, I don't think you have enough solar. Especially if an AC charger is able to charge...
