    I never would have guessed this, your posts are better than many of those that grew up speaking and writing English.
  • Post in thread: Want to purchase Solar Panels from China and import to USA...

    It's not worth it. Don't do it. You'll be way ahead buying from USA inventory.

    Way to much added sugar for me or I'd be drinking it all deye long ?
  • Post in thread: December PV starting off crappy again.

    I used it nonstop the first summer I got it, I put it in the master bedroom and let the door open during the day with the temp set about as low as it could go, had no trouble keeping the bedroom in the upper 60s and living room / kitchen in the 70s. I didn't have to turn on the central air. I...
  • Post in thread: Would you do Eg4 or something different?

    Right here is what makes it all worth it... Saw I had a voicemail from the power company, power is out and affecting 580 customers in my area, I never even noticed. Edit - estimated restore in 7 hours.

  • Post in thread: EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    Wow. Sorry you're going through this. Perfect example of why I don't want anyone having remote access to my equipment, I'd be beyond pissed if I were in your shoes. I firmly believe firmware updates via USB make the most sense. It's my opinion this remote in with a super user account and...

  • Post in thread: 4 MWh SRNE ASF48100U200-H 10kw.

    Quick updates. Don't judge my TEMPORARY setup. ? Its powering the house, cycled well pump once and didn't even notice a flicker in the lights. Flipped heat gun on and off a few times and didn't notice any flicker either. Changed plans up a little bit... Swapped over to the SRNE and hooked up...
  • Post in thread: Why batteries???

    Why not batteries? Who likes the noise of a generator or trying to refuel in pouring down rain, wind, snow? Don't forget the oil changes. Don't forget the generator exhaust will get ya if not installed correctly. What generator transfers fast enough that electronics aren't affected when grid...
  • Post in thread: 2024 YouTube Video Ideas

    Testing things to failure / torturing them.. What happens to an overcharged prismatic cell hit with some lead at a high velocity? What if a flame is introduced? Fuses, breakers, crimpers. Destructive and what not to do videos. Lifepo4 capacity tests at various temperatures and loads. High...
  • Post in thread: 4 MWh SRNE ASF48100U200-H 10kw.

    Updates. I haven't forgotten about the N/G bond tests and other items mentioned a page or so ago. Work life and life hasn't let me take the house loads offline to test yet. I'm slowly closing in on 1Mw with 0 issues. I figured out what the root cause was of the random restarts a few weeks /...
  • Post in thread: 4 MWh SRNE ASF48100U200-H 10kw.

    Realized I'm over 2MWh AC out and close to 2 MWh solar.
  • Post in thread: I Can't Afford So-Called "Tier 1" Equipment. What's Good at Tier 2?

    Clarity / correction TP6048 = LVX6048 = eg4 6k SP6548 = LV6548 = eg4 6.5k Edit - Voltronic is the mother to all the stepchildren above.
  • Post in thread: Deciding to DIY my solar battery was one of my worst mistakes ever

    What specifically did you find so difficult and time consuming? What were your biggest DIY projects before trying to build a battery?
  • Post in thread: December PV starting off crappy again.

    Record day today ~10.8kW of panels. Darned clouds in the morning...
  • Post in thread: SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

    I'll have to start a new thread... $2229.74 for 2 10kW ASPs, DDP airfreight and baba fee included.
  • Post in thread: Shunt snapped and caused a fire🔥

    Wow that looks miserable, fortunately it wasn't worse. Are you sure the shunt was the root cause? Is it possible one of the particle board shelves collapsed causing a dead short and the shunt to fail? The shunt was on the negative, correct?

    ....... ................... ............ You're not being unreasonable. Thank you. (I had a rant typed up but it's not worth it)
  • Post in thread: How to get warranty help for an SOK 48V100 battery?

    Please post it in the classifieds here for free before you do that. I'm positive someone local will take it off your hands in no time...
  • Post in thread: Signature Solar

    Agreed, it's nice to see some positivity and a lack of defensive posts and tangents that used to be common from another member.
  • Post in thread: Is it possible to have enough lugs?

    https://selterm.com/ https://gregsmarinewiresupply.com/?s=Lugs I also order them through Amazon.
  • Post in thread: PV array voltage significantly higher than expected

    Please disconnect immediately and restring to 9s2p. You're flirting with a magic smoke party. Cold temp is driving up your 437VOC string.
  • Post in thread: Trump

    Where is your proof? Yes, also remember you look down the barrel to make sure the bullet is flying the right direction.
  • Post in thread: Big dreams, small living, off-grid homestead from scratch

    Whatever the heck he wants.... I currently have ~9.3kw of panels, on a rainy dark day last month they produced less than 2kwh.... Panels are a heck of a lot cheaper than batteries.... Someday I'll have 30+kw of panels and 75+kwh of batteries... Why because I can, because I won't have to worry...

    You can't teach common sense but stupidity spreads like wildfire.
  • Post in thread: the rapidly changing inverter landscape

    Really looking forward to the stackable 10kW split phase ASF SRNE's. Someday I still want a "bullet proof" low frequency with a big ass transformer and crazy surge ratings, Schneider XW Pro, but I took somewhat of a gamble on my current ASF and I've been beyond happy. Since September 2023...
  • Post in thread: 4 MWh SRNE ASF48100U200-H 10kw.

    It's official. I haven't decided how I feel about it not switching to Mwh ?
