SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

I need to stop being such a pessimist...
Left work early to help my brother with his upright freezer that took a shit...
Was mixing up some sevin to feed the bugs feasting on the garden and DHL pulled in the driveway.
Boxes had some rips and tears but packaging is just as solid as the ASF.
When I grabbed the box off the truck I thought to myself the ASP box was heavier than the ASF box, it is by a little.

The ASP is a different shade of white than the ASF. The parallel cables sure look like VGA cables to me, wish I had an old monitor somewhere.

FedEx also delivered the 5' 6"x6" trough. I don't have any excuses for not getting started on them this weekend. Hopefully I'll have them up and running by the end of the month, and hit 5MWh on the ASF before that.
Mounting them will be easy, it's all the other stuff that's gonna be a pita, rebuilding the battery rack out of steel and all the fun that goes with that will be the most time consuming part.

Anyway, enough rambling...

Very nice!
Can't wait to see you guys post on the performance, Idle current, connection to SA, etc.
For any Canucks following along, these units have CSA C22.2 107.1 certification as well as UL 1741.

Ill be first on your list if you ever want to get rid of the ASF! 🤓

I'll keep that in mind but I'll likely keep it, I can make good use of the additional MPPTS when I decide to add another array. I will be posting a TP6048 / LVX6048 eventually but I'll probably try to offload it on CL / marketplace first to make some more money...

you have a sickness friend. i see crypto mining in your future

If I had a reliable hardwired internet connection available I would probably already be dabbling in it.
Soon enough I'll have a lightbulb moment for making use off all the power available. Getting another indoor grow tent going is towards the top of my list, no I'm not referring to magic lettuce; username doesn't check out 😂
 
Looks the same as my LV6548 ports. Those work just fine.

If these work, I don't care what cable it is. Believe it or not, I still run some laptops with serial ports for certain applications.
I don't think anyone really cared which cable it was, it was just funny that china didn't even know which one it was.
Display cables generally have better quality than a lot of stuff. If we used as crap cabling that is used in just general electrical we would have lots of interference thus people would cry about their screens looking terrible.
Usually it's shielded too.

I have one, but what do you think it'd do other than blow the monitor up? lol
We have like 5 of the monitors actually, some servers are starting to have display port but still pretty much all of the motherboards from $600-1500 are still having VGA..


How long you think before you have it hooked up and running?


also just curious is that entire thing painted underneath that ground?

Haha, I didn't intend to hook it up, just compare the cable.

Hopefully by the end of the month.

Great observation, I'll check next time I'm downstairs working. I hope not.
 
Got off my ass and went to check a couple things.
Cleaning of paint underneath ground is pretty piss poor in my opinion and I was easily able to loosen it, to easily...
This lead me to check the screws for AC and PV connections. Before and after tightening is what I'm showing if the picks load correctly, I'm irritated. I've never had an issue with the ASF, I honestly can't remember if I checked them before installation.
PSA - check connections for tightness.

6AWG THHN is no problem, it wouldn't fit with the insulation on. I don't have any 4AWG, actually I have some battery cable somewhere...

I can see the pics didn't load correctly, righty tighty, they will make sense.

Ps I put the hot in the neutral intentionally 😉

would be interested in how your inverter compares to the SunGoldPower SPH10048P

Looks to me that 4 gauge would easily fit.
On the other side of the terminal blocks, are those terminals crimped and soldered?

It’s the same unit

Starlink. Had it for years, works out in the sticks in the USA, lol. I have 2 miners, and I just ordered 4 more, so 21kw of miners.
