Similar cost of the complete tracker I bought from eco-worthy...

never mind... I have not received the battery yet, but looking into its specs, it only receives and supply 50A max... so 50A the breaker will be.

You need to consider the distances in order to select the cable. Drop voltage calculator online helps with that

Thanks! I thought 4awg, which is what growatt inverter recommended, supports higher currents, like 95 amps or more.

I am still unsure with the size of breaker to place between my AOI 3000w and the 48V 50ah battery. Since the battery is supporting the max 3000W from the AOI, that means that the breaker must be (3000/48) *1.25=78 .. I think rounded to 80amps?

So, no body has these devices?

Why no body told me there are AIO that does not require battery? that would be the nearest to my original cheap option of grid tie but without grid feedback. I just ordered the Growatt LVM 3000TL-ES for much cheaper than a power station with a battery, and if I want in the future to add a...

Those who have the bluetties or the ecoflows.. as AIO, what is your experience with them? Do they have a setting to prioritize solar over AC charging? Are they lasting, or are there several cases of issues requiring replacement? Are you really happy with them or wish you better got a real AIO...

A week since defective oupes reported, and still not an RMA from vendor to return / replace the unit...

I was blind by the portability concept, that's why eg4 lose. And oupes offered good capacity storage, capacity output and capacity input for my budget; perhaps the 150v max solar input that matched my solar panels in serie was also good. Quality is the issue, I am waiting for a replacement since...

These nature generators are tricky,. They make us believe we can connect any panel and woala..free electricityfrom the sun. I just got an oupes mega 2 generator, thinking it will be easier than an aoi system, but in reality it can be more expensive and complex. The only advantage is the...

I just did something similar. But instead I got the oupes mega 2. I am using the kit with 6 bifacial panels 195w on a solar tracker from ecoworthy. With these generators you just need to be careful the max voltage it gets is never over their limits. Even you can use solar panels totaling more...

Normally a battery gives as much amperes as the load is requesting unless the battery is capped. So I believe those powerbanks will request the max they can which I believe is the limit they indicated. Normally that Port is also used to charge the bank from a car battery.

I checked the oupes with multimeter and looks like it is not n-g (confirmed by email from manufacturer). Surge protector at panels, and grounding over the weekend. The oupes is totally bricked right now, waiting for approval from vendor for replacement.

Interesting, since everyone (including me) are expert on criticize and find something wrong, and no reply to my post... It could mean that my circuit is OK . Today I had the opportunity to read the "Grounding Made Simpler" series from @FilterGuy and it is a very nice and understandable...

Can you find any issues on these connections? My Oupes is a brick now, and want to make sure is nothing related to this setup. Installation diagram of the transfer switch indicated to connect ground and neutral to those on Main panel, but when power station to only battery or battery and solar...

be careful on those cheap controllers. I made a hack to use the solar panel from my prius. Here I explained why those cheap devices are a danger, and how it was better to use a morningstart controller. https://solarprius.blogspot.com/2014/01/my-prius-solar-hack-installation.html

After reading the "Grounding Made Simpler", I concluded my installation is fine. I looks like the Mega 2 is neutral-ground unbounded with my multimeter measurements, but I had also asked the question to the manufacturer to double confirm. Finally it is the sun at max, and temperature and RH as...

A question, I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJ8W97MV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details which looks very similar to yours... Diagram indicated to connect neutral from the transfer switch circuit into the grid panel neutral. But some of my arc breakers are getting activated...

Some updates here, I purchased a transfer switch, and bought an Oupes Mega 2 power station (2500W, 2048Wh). I liked that one because for $1200 you get solar input up to 2100W which is more than my 1170 watts solar panels produce, and it accepted 12 to 150 volts so if I want to place them...

Hey, this is my post... enough about copies of inverters or originals... they are off the topic. You can create a new post and discuss all you want about inverters origins.

haha, yes you are right, nothing will withstand cat 4 and 5 here... The 2 hurricanes that had hit in the last 20 years were just category 1, requiring me to fix 2 posts from my fences and roof replacement because several shingles were off. My portable basketball survived stand up.

ground anchors.. based on my calculations this setup can withstand any hurricane that could impact in my area.

kind of... But I don't believe you need a permit to place some solar cells in your yard anyways, is not it?

A work in process... Battery, inverter and transfer switch already in transit.

interesting addon.... Thanks!

Thanks! I am still shopping around... All I want is just an AOI, reliable, efficient, not expensive, and data logging/ app is a nice have... let me check what I can read about SRNE.

take it easy doggy.... If you read the 2 pages thread, you will see grid tie connection is not longer considered. Any good, reliable, AOI brand you recommend?

wow, Lowes sells a Renogy 3500W for $600.... that gives me 90 days return window

Thanks God for having these type of forums! If you got an idea somebody else already tried it and you can get experience from them before making the same mistakes. It took me a lot of reading about different configurations, people with my same idea of grid tie microinverters, etc.. I...

I just bought a solar tracker with solar panels included (1170 watts). But I am undecided on how to use it; originally I was thinking about just get one of those grid tie inverter and connect it to a socket, I mean that circuit is protected with a breaker (20A) with higher capacity than what the...

It looks like you did not receive a reply. What inverter you actually used?
