Hey guys, Wondering if anyone has any experience with these panels. There is a guy on here that posted about the 550w version, he seems to like them. 370W GSP6G60M (H) Also, i'm not familiar with the advantage of the number busbars (this panel has 9) or the Half-cut cells. I'll try to read...

Nice. Are these the batteries you paid $1230 plus $660 shipping?

I got a 16ch emporia hooked up. Excited to see my actual consumption after a month

No extra land, and the city limits me to 10kw of panels. Trying to stay out of the middle of the yard, stay in the sun. If I did tracking at all it would probably be single axis with a manual winter/ summer adjustment. I have a north/ south fence line that I could put a row of panels on a long...

Tracking takes up too much room! They block each other when you start moving them around. I think i'm just going to have to fix them in place. Also, i think it makes sense for me to set my panels at the summer angle (13.8 degrees) since i use more power in summer (Electric AC, Gas heat...for...

Just read a great article on bypass and blocking diodes. I'm still not fully grasping all the functional differences between bypass diodes and optimizers. I get that the diodes protect the panels and optimizers optimize output, just seems like the diodes are also optimizing output when they...

Such cool tech! I love it. I'm excited to get my hands on it. I've tried to read up on the mppt's but I couldn't find a good explanation. And I had no idea there were bypass diodes in the panels themselves. Has anyone tried to mount bifacials on the roof with a standoff bracket? If I could...

thought this was funny. I was talking to Dawnice guy about the bus bars being welding straight to the batteries and tried to explain why i prefer studs. I think he has no clue and is desperately trying to sell it to me anyway. lol

I wasn't planning on using optimizers(?) since i thought i didn't have any shading issues. if i were to put panels in the shade of the pole, wouldn't the whole string suffer? Or would the effect be negligible? Since open circuit voltage per 400w panel is 35-38vdc (based on the temp coefficient...

Is your friend on the forum? I'd like to hear his story first hand.

When do you expect to receive your batteries? Are you going to test capacity? Let me know please.

Good point. He also sent this pic. I don't see a qr code. At what point are the codes added? I'll confront the guy about the used cells, but I already know the response. Edit: his response, "we can only sell new cells, it's dangerous to sell used". I'll either buy from luyuan or ss. Thanks.

Wow, sounds like I need to negotiate a little more. You got those specifically from dawnice? Did you deal with Paul? Thanks

Anyone have any experience with Dawnice in China? "Paul" is offering a 15kwh battery with ddp to Georgia for $2400 total. 100A max discharge 10y warranty which really means nothing if no one vouches
