    Threaded pipe battery rack

    I have 2 Trophy 48v 220ah batteries that I want to stack in the vertical position. Dan at Trophy assured me these can be used without issue in the vertical position. If I knew how to weld I probably would have just fabricated something out of tube steel. In the end it will serve as a means to...

    I see many recommendations to take the AC out from the inverter to a sub panel that handles critical loads. That would require moving circuits (critical loads) from the main panel to the sub panel, correct? Is there any reason, other than loss of the inverter ATS function, to not just run the...

    EG4 Split Phase firmware updates

    Can anyone tell me how SS puts out firmware updates? I don't see anything on the website about firmware for any of their equipment.

    Trophy Battery Experience

    I recently ordered 2 - 48v 220ah batteries. Almost within minutes of placing my order online Dan sent me a text with a picture of my batteries labeled and ready to ship. It took about 2 days for Fed Ex to get them from Ga to rural Pa. Hats off to Dan on the way he packs them for shipping. He...
