My peak with dryer and HP running is 8kw. 500w-2000W normal/base loads. Pulling 1900W solar in. N-G bond is static in the panel before the inverters with screw removed from inverters. Battery 52.4V Idk it just ran a full cycle without hesitation 3 wire dryer

I have lead acid bank 5kwh I built it as just a ups system until I can get lipo4s to cycle with. The system is setup with the inverters feeding a sub panel that supplys the whole house. I get no flickering/dimming when you start it or the heat pump. The dryer just shuts off but the timer keeps...

I have 2 Lv6548s running my house in SUB mode. With the new demand charges from 2-7pm I added a timer to switch to SBU during this time. I've discovered that while in battery mode the dryer won't run whether you start it in utility or battery mode it will shut off after a minute or two in...

That's kind of tough to do because you really need almost everything to make anything work. My sma inverter needs 190v to run in MPPT so that is a minimum of 4 panels. And racking isn't necessary but a good idea. If you are looking at zero export look at the EG4 6000/6500 series or similar...

Mvonw, did you ever get to finish this experiment? I've been toying with this very idea but running it through my radiant slab floor in the garage (instead of radiator) to keep it above freezing and hopefully take the edge off of the 105 degree heat in the summer.

So I'm not sure why but I fired it up tonight and switched to sbu it ran flawless for over an hour so I switched it back to sub and two hours in with no restart.

Yes this is a quick-n-dirty battery wiring to test with. The batteries are 4 12v deep cells wired in series with all 2/0 wire. Charge/equalize at 58v when shutdowns occurred I was running in SUB mode as I'm grid tied with 1-1 so I want to float batterys and use the 2500w of solar on these...

They feel Cool to the touch on the front (grey) panel fans are in low speed. First time it happened was within 5min of startup. I lose power for 2-3 seconds before they fire up again. I haven't tested without solar yet. This evening I'm going to try sbu

Sry yes they are mpp I'm just OCD a bit and a painter so I painted to match the boxes

I finally got all the parts together for my LV6548 setup and fired it up Saturday and it immediately started randomly restarting every 15-45min I've searched the forum and can't find anything I'm missing the communication cables are outside the gutter to prevent interference, I've got 4s panels...

@usphisics On your emporia go to menu/notifications/ add alert. There add an alert for mains consumption of slightly lower than the rated surge of the inverter your looking at for 3 sec. (Or rated constant for 30sec) It will send you an alert if that sub panel exceeds the surge (constant)...

I have a lvx6048 (same as 6000ex) at about 3300w on one leg it will give a overload alarm with 1000w on the other leg

Think of the ground system as a separate system than the power system, it keeps EVERYTHING connected to it at the same potential as the earth. No potential difference no shocky. But if power were to short to ground you want ONE (1) path to complete the circuit back to the source (transformer or...

Our co-op provider switched all residential to this rate plan 1-1-23

I was just reading a few generator threads and thought I'd throw this out to see what others think. If someone was having problems with frequency shift from their undersized generator could you install a variable frequency drive,like used to make 3ph from split phase. Then just program it to 60hz?

Thank you for that, that's kind of what I learned from this thread. The Lvx6048 kind of had the same growing pains. I bought 1 with intent to add a second if needed but they can't get them to parallel properly and quit updating firmware. my monthly avg 15 min peak is 5.5-6.3kw so I think one of...

For those of you who have one would you buy it again? And is the blue sun BSE-8KLNA the same inverter ( can use megarevo updates). I got bit by the LVX6048 and looking for a replacement

Sunny boy storage I believe basically does this

It's really more of a battery? than a inverter? Just look up eg4 master/secondary instructions

They are awesome!! Can do a lot with it

Yes used 3 posts of 2 3/8 stem for 10 panels, withstood 100 mi an hour winds in December.

Not sure, it was done by an electrician but we are still NEC 2014 here and it has since been removed and I just set it in there to give you a visual

I edited my post with a pic. This is how mine was setup for a 30A RV plug.

Just put a din rail and a 15A breaker in the main disconnect box before the solark with 1 15A outlet branch circuit for the Ethernet switch

If using micro inverters you can mix and match because essentially each panel/inverter combo is its own little system. kind of like different lightbulbs

That 1500 is max. Typically 450-600wh and the LVX is reported at 125w

I am ready to fire up my dual LVX6048s in the daytime I need the surge capacity but at night I barely pull 1500w. So I've been thinking about the high idle consumption, my idea is to replace the power button on inverter #2 with a relay connected to a timer. Turns on at 6am turns off at 8pm or...

I have almost this exact setup except 10*410w panels and producing 18-25kwh/ day average consumption before was 900-1200kw month now I'm between 100-450

Ya kind of spendy but I just thought for the right person I'd could be a nice standby/ off-grid replacement with alot less losses

I was just wandering the internet this afternoon and came across this https://dcautogen.com/product/v5-autogen-48v-dc-generator-charger/ I've never seen a dc generator thought I'd post it up here for any experience or interest from the community.

It is some heavy stuff at 6lbs a ft and 0.28" wall thickness I'm not worried about rust. But I thought at some point I would paint it with some rust converter chassis paint. Just look for a oil field supply yard. I bought all 3 joints (32ft each) used for $160 its called drill stem

Don't know where you are but I used 2 3/8" oil field pipe for poles. Cheap any super sturdy

That's what I thought just wanted confirmation, thank you

The Big problem I see is it could allow more amps on a circuit than it should have. Potentially 4.1A+ 20A breaker = 24.1A not good on wiring!

I'm planning to run 2 lvx6048s in parallel to backup my house. can anyone tell me if I can run solar to just one? I plan on running 8s1p string for now and add another to the other inverter at a later date. Will they play nice that way?
