I ended up using a $40 ATS that can handle 125amps for my whole place. I just have a 100 amp panel, so this works fine. But it's not UL listed and you never know with some of these things from AliExpress. These 125amp ones really only became easily available in the last year or two. So I'm...

No problem. That's why I like to post when I figure something out. Nothing worse than finding someone else with your same problem but no answer posted. I have come across one other option, but I haven't yet tested it. There is a setting for the inverter to set a time to start and time to stop...

Ok, so setting the priority to Solar/Grid/Battery and then disconnecting the inverter from the grid to force battery usage and then reconnecting in order to return to grid (rather than changing the priority mode on the inverter) does work (y). I think it would be ideal if the unit included a...

Just an update on my SunGoldPower BluePower TP6048 blipping when switching from battery back to grid, sungoldpower support indicated that this was because it was not designed to switch priority modes while actively operating. So, I setup a relay to cut off grid power to the inverter and keeping...

SunGoldPower support has suggested that I set it to Utility priority and then cut off utility power to the unit to engage the battery then reconnect grid to switch back. So I will be trying this as soon as I get a chance to rig up a contactor.

Yes, I have made that change. I couldn't find any clear description of the difference between those two, but I do have it set to UPS now and it seems to make no difference in the speed of transfer. Still blipping.

I have built a similar system using a diy lifepo4 battery made from 16x 280ah cells with a jk BMS active balancer. I have used a SunGoldPower bluepower tp6048 which is the same as the mpp solar lvx6048 which seems to be more well known on this forum. So far, it's working well, except for one...

I sent them all the details yesterday. I will post it here if they get back to me with any useful information.

I actually have a SunGoldPower Bluepower TP6048 hybrid inverter, but it is the same machine as the MPP LVX6048 that I see talked about a lot more here. When it transfers from grid to battery, it is flawless. Not so much as a dim light or blip in any electronics. But when it switches back to grid...

I have built a 48v 280ah lifepo4 battery from eve cells. I'm in a condo, so can't have solar panels at the moment. My goal is to create a setup where I can charge the batteries during off-peak power billing and then use them during peak. I have been looking at the LVX-6048 as it seems to tick...
