There’s an Ignore Thread option at the top of every page

Also https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-powerpro-battery-paralleling-cables/ already made up

Can’t the vendor either send you an empty box or send you an advanced replacement so you can use the box to return the other one?

Probably easier to give everyone their own Build thread that only they can post to, or that they can moderate.

I’m with Ampster, you can’t have batteries in parallel with any decent interconnect and have different voltages.

It physically looks like the RS232 cable that SignatureSolarJess just sent me, and the RS485 cable has a terminal block on the USB portion: https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-usb-read-write-cable/

I'll have advanced warning when my monitoring infrastructure sends me an email to let me know the grid went down. 8*)

Sometimes just rebooting your router will give you a different IP address, which works if the old one you had was previously assigned to a spamner or botnet participant and so got on a blacklist. 🤷‍♂️

Right, but how are the CME forecasts doing? Not talking about estimating their path once they exist and chances of hitting the Earth and at what strengths and what effects they’ll have (which are demonstrably poor), but the long-term “this month will see above average CME activity”, for...

Carrier Grade NAT is the bane of my existence, really the only way around it is to have a computer (Rpi or etc) connected to your hardware that uploads stuff to the cloud where you can retrieve it.

Right, which is why most folks use financial efficiency as a determining factor in their decision to invest in solar, batteries, energy efficiency upgrades, insulation, electric cars, etc. Honestly I don’t care a lot about the PoCo ‘s financial efficiency, and I only have a theoretical concern...

Agreed, though the grid operators are still trying to work out what that means and how it’s implemented.
