    Safety check on my simple diagram please

    The orange pi has 2 usb ports, think it can talk to two inverters

    Solark Notification

    Do we need to register on mysolark.com or wait for all the migration to conclude? Wording seems to indicate wait, but want to ensure I don't mess anything up or lose any data.

    Optimistic solar breakeven calculation

    I have a garage full of tools and a real hankering to use them. What more motivation do I need?

    Fusing 24 volt system

    75a to inverter Need more specs for panels (voltage, series/parallel config, if you plan on an inspection)

    How would I go around adding battery storage to this?

    The eg4 would take the enphase input on the generator. From the manual

    How would I go around adding battery storage to this?

    Enphase's overpriced batteries or ac coupling an AIO are your options

    Dual battery banks and Sol-Ark communication (EG4 18kpv as well)

    Wireway or wiring trough. Local electric suppliers carry them

    Is my system safe?

    Is the fuse still 175 degrees?

    Is my system safe?

    It's the subtlety of the phrasing current limiter. ANN 35a fuse will blow in about 0.3 seconds at 70 amps, ANL will blow in 10 seconds.

    Advice on Dual Sol-Ark 15k w

    With 2 or more inverters, I think a chargeverter would better suit your generator to directly charge the batteries Rather than pass through an inverter.

    Trying to finalize SOL-Ark attachment to grid

    manual calls for a fused disconnect between solark and grid (diagrams starting at page 47)

    EG4 LLv2 and rack wiring question

    I just removed a little of the the heat shrink and used the handily sized holes at top and bottom. This made a better connection for doing 2 lugs (front and back vs stacked) i say this with stacked connections in the same photo.

    Is my system safe?

    For a 12v system, this may be plenty.

    Communications between Sol-Ark 15k and EG4 Communications Panel

    PV Pro is offline for me. Flaky since last 2 updates.

    Communications between Sol-Ark 15k and EG4 Communications Panel

    DC overvoltage? Is it a single unit faulting or random units? Might need to let that unit balance itself.

    Sol-Ark 15k inverter temperature

    Even when it was 30f here, the inverter stayed about 160...

    PowerView Monthly Data Not Matching Daily Data

    the latest solark update jacked up my whole connectivity. Glad I have Solar Assistant in place to see actuals as the Solark communicator is only online about 3 hours a day lately.

    Wiring 30 amp plug to EG4

    You can forego the breaker if you're brave. Can also use a fuse. I prefer to have protection on all circuits with the potential to ignite

    Wiring 30 amp plug to EG4

    Personally I'd recommend something more permanent. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085HFBLDN as a suggestion for type. You don't have to go with this brand. edit: Read it a little closer, you can direct wire from your shore input if you have one to a breaker and then to the EG4

    Looking for 48v dc light switch

    I'm hoping with the increase of prevalence of 51.2v batteries, the other components of matching spec will increase in availability.

    My Solark has terrible gaps in its data when I go to their site. SolarAssistant keeps better logs

    Looking for 48v dc light switch

    Specs seem to indicate 600v. Doesn't indicate AC/DC, but the DC32v ones are usually 250vac https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Bussmann-Eaton/BC6031B?qs=dryG%252BOqy3PbxIlo%2F1WOC3A%3D%3D

    Looking for 48v dc light switch

    For this 1a load, i think a standard house switch would be okay if it's fused before the switch

    New, more efficient solar panels coming? Hopefully.

    They seem to think it will be much cheaper to produce than current panels, too. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-46620-1 https://en.shiftdelete.net/solar-panels-becoming-obsolete-a-70-cheaper-alternative-is-coming/

    Net metering rejection notes: help?

    does your battery have a current limiter? a cutoff switch at the battery?
  31. Sennen

    Net metering rejection notes: help?

    Solark 15k doesn't have a cutoff on GRID. There is a DC breaker and LOAD breaker, but no GRID breaker. I'd ask for clarification, I can't find anything referencing a BSET socket.

    Fan fault!

    Spinning != Working Could be spinning too slow to make meaningful air movement

    Eg4 life power4 battery won’t wake up

    Ain't got no gas in it... Only thing I can think of is the reset button. All breakers are off in your picture, though. Might need BMSTest app to help awaken them when voltage is applied

    Micro air easy start 368-X72 $275 (Austin, TX)

    Unit is 5 months old, replaced entire air conditioning system with an inverter system, no longer need soft start. Also no longer need the nest device, but probably no market for those.
