    CATL mega pack with 6.25 MWh

    CATL are claiming zero degradation over five years, design doesn't include inverters in the container so not quite like a Tesla mega pack but a lot more battery: "While preventing the degradation of capacity over the first five years of use is a significant advancement in increasing the...

    Midnite 250A 125V DC panel mount breakers for $47 at altE

    I hesitate to share this one as I'm sure all 43 remaining units will be snapped up fairly quickly. Normally retail for around $90-100, altE was already the cheapest prior to this mega drop. I ordered what I could afford wish I could get them all lol. Rated for 50,000 AIC at 125V. Seems cheaper...

    New solid state cells with built in room for expansion

    So one of things many seem to struggle with is clamping of prismatic cells (under clamping, over clamping). Check out this forthcoming design with a built in "pocket" for expansion. https://electrek.co/2024/01/16/quantumscape-unveils-beating-heart-solid-state-battery-tech-flexframe-cell-video/

    LG combo washer/dryer with heat pump/ventless -$2k.

    Have an LG TV and got an ad for their new washer dryer combo. Doesn't need a vent and runs off 120V. Not sure if it's a real deal but for those looking at heat pump dryers potentially another option? https://www.lg.com/us/washers-dryers/lg-wm6998hba

    Rolled the dice on a LiTime 12V 3000W inverter

    Been looking for a 12V inverter. Current systems include a Delta 2 max, four 12V 100Ah Redodo mini lfps, two Renogy 115W bifacials and a Victron IP22 12/30. Was leaning towards the Victron Pheonix 12/1200 but the 1200VA rating was giving me concerns and the step up to a multiplus 2000 is quite...

    New eg4 rack battery, EG4-LL-S now with e-stop

    Got an email from them, looks like they now have "E-stop", is that a new UL requirement that's coming? Or does it integrate with an inverters emergency shutdown button/switch or a shutoff at the array? https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-ll-s-48v-100ah-server-rack-battery

    Ecoflow customer service issues

    Creating this thread per @Will Prowse request. There's a similar thread already where someone was having no luck with support for his Delta Pro. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/ecoflow-customer-service.62255/ And then seems like some people having problems with river 2s:

    Charger cables for Blue Smart IP22 12V/30A

    Good afternoon. I have purchased an IP22 12V 30A charger. I'm thinking easiest way to get the cable from charger to battery is something like this and then cut the ring terminals off and attach to the IP22 screw terminals? Looks like AWG6 which is what the spec sheet lists as max for the...

    Hello from Upstate NY

    Good afternoon everybody. Been reading a bunch of great threads and info here for a while now. I started my journey/addiction with a River 2 to give my wife a UPS for her hospital bed so she's not trapped if the power goes out. Got a Renogy 115W bifacial panel as a charge source. Then I...

    Flexible grid export limits trialled in South Australia

    Interesting article here, where people could sign up for flexible export limits. Due to potential network congestion, a very low export limit of 1.5kW was in place. However those on the trial were allowed to export up to 10kW, with the proviso that the powerco could restrict export down to 1.5kW...
