  • Post in thread: Signature solar warranty department issues

    That needs to be fixed. There should not be a wait time for defective devices. They need to copy amazon.com return experience for defective products
  • Post in thread: Will, your current video "Quick Morning Rant: Chinese VS American Solar Products"

    Lots of great points mentioned here, and I appreciate the input. I think the overall point that I really wanted to make is that people should not depend on others. Being able to self educate and work hard is ideal. I think self-reliance and a dose of skepticism can increase one's survival. We...
  • Post in thread: Eg4 inverter future

    I'm getting more info here on the forum than talking to the actual companies these days ??
  • Post in thread: Full Disclosure

    And thank you to everyone who is supporting me here, I loved all the messages. I try my best to give you guys every single bit of information possible. Everyone thinks that these companies like me, and most hate me! Or they like me at first until one of their products fails on my videos. But...
  • Post in thread: Need Early adopters.

    I'll eventually get them and be disappointed for everyone ??
  • Post in thread: What's the best solar-related item you bought in 2023?

    Expensive, but oh so nice:
  • Post in thread: Required Action for all users: Disable all email notifications right now! Thank you

    We were having millions of emails going out to users who have not been active in the last 180 days. Now email notifications only go out to people who have been active recently. Next issue was people who opted-in to email notifications would mark them as spam and our IP address was getting black...

    Just cranked out another test:
  • Post in thread: My Solar Shed Construction Starts in a Week

    It is a 6x10 Tuff Shed. Total cost was 2,500 bucks. It will have air conditioning to keep my LiFePO4 battery collection nice and happy. I will install a MASSIVE 48v 5kw system in it (this one). It will serve as a backup system for my house if the grid were to fail for prolonged duration. And as...
  • Post in thread: I don't understand the love affair with the AIO approach.

    I find it funny that the only difference between an inverter/charger and "all-in-one" is that there is an MPPT board. That's about it. MPPT circuit are simple and reliable. It bewilders me that people are buying inverter chargers but they draw the line when you add an MPPT and then they claim...
  • Post in thread: Can someone please sell me on Dakota lithium. What am I missing?

    And they put the American flag and "USA" all over their website despite their products being manufactured and sourced from China.
  • Post in thread: EG4 18kPV - Information

    Fun stuff. Filmed this almost a week ago. Not a single issue so far.
  • Post in thread: AWG Not Right -- A Public Safety Warning

    We need to be pragmatic about asserting a claim against a manufacturer. Please provide evidence of this claim, proof of purchase if possible and obviously the name of the business. Posts without evidence will be locked. They do not help anyone.
  • Post in thread: Website Stats for this Forum. We are growing fast!

    Holy cow everyone! Pretty incredible to see the forum grow like this :) Also, we have been ranking #1 for "solar forum" and many other solar keywords:
  • Post in thread: BMS common port vs seperate port

    The big problem with separate port BMS is the current is extremely limited. Not uncommon for a 100a separate port bms to have a charge line that can only handle 8-15 amps. If you are building a system for solar, use a common port for your loads, and connect the SCC directly to the battery.
  • Post in thread: EG4 8kW Hybrid Inverter | 8000W Output | 12000W PV - $2,799.00

    I actually have two of these. One from eg4 and one from megarevo. I am running into some very strange issues that I will share in a video soon. It's becoming an incredibly long video. They are carbon copies of each other.
  • Post in thread: Eg4 inverter future

    I am pretty informed on the latest tech coming out in the next year or so, and the 18Kpv is what I'm sticking with. I don't need anything else now. There might be new models coming, but at the end of the day, if you can accomplish what you need with current tech, the new stuff doesn't matter...
  • Post in thread: Problems with Eg4 6500ex buyer beware.

    I broke up the original post, so people can read it. And removed some not so helpful comments in the beginning, so this post will get more attention. What pisses me off is the response time. Can you post those emails? I thought they sorted out the customer tech support issues, but man, this post...
  • Post in thread: Massive Tesla Solar Powered EV Charging Station in Barstow California

  • Post in thread: Problem with Solarcabin Channel - AIBU?

    I gave it a few days to look over everything that he posted and think about it. At the end of the day I realize that multiple members had multiple issues with his posts. One of the rules here on the forum is if multiple members are not happy with an individual member's behavior, they can be...
  • Post in thread: Signature solar warranty department issues

    Other companies are going to be selling EG4 products soon. So you won't need to go through signature solar any longer. Just a heads up. They are two separate companies now with different leadership.
  • Post in thread: Will Prowse ! Are you OK ?

    I am doing great, just busy building systems and decommissioning batteries that I do not need anymore. Yesterday I was measuring current flow through various electrolytic solutions. Also studying circuit design stuff. I will make a video when I think of a fun one. Everything I am doing right...
  • Post in thread: Travel Trailer (1050w Solar, 3000w Inverter, 600ah LiFePO4)

    it has low voltage disconnect and individual cell monitoring etc. its fine
  • Post in thread: Full Disclosure

    Lately if it's a crappy product I don't like, I will charge 12-20K per video. I've never charged signature solar this or current connected or any distributor really. I mainly charge large Chinese mail forwarding companies trying to push absolute garbage on my channel. So I make a video showing...
  • Post in thread: RE+ solar conference is fast approaching! What new products or booths are you interested in?

    The guy that I talked to who works at sol ark also said that other server rack battery manufacturers are not using ev grade cells, and I said yes, they are. But he dismissed it with an attitude. And then he tried to push the pyte batteries, and I asked what cells they are using and BMS. He said...
  • Post in thread: What happened to the 24v DIY system web page?

    2X 24V batteries fit and provide 48V. I avoid using 12V packs in series when I can. Having 4X bms in a string seems illogical. The less parts, the better. Ohhh you're using FLA's?? Ok I understand. If you are constrained to that battery box size and voltage, I get it. That's unfortunate. Ok...
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM

    I have 2 of them. Fired them up and opened them, and they are the same as MPP lv2424. 48v also. Will make a video soon about them. They rock. I added them to the mobile solar website: https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/all-in-one-solar-power-packages.html
