It's has been a longer than expected journey learning, installing and upgrading everything. But I have issues with keeping projects going since I enjoy having lots of challenges and things to work on.
Batteries arrived:
Cosmetically perfect
All are flat, none had any deviation from the others.
qr codes intact
Next, I will top balance and test capacity.

We take care of Intellectually disable people that do not have family or homes, and they do not understand many of the normal energy saving ideas. And by law we have to leave if we loose power for more than a day to a hotel which is extremely tiring, so we are taking steps to keep the power on...
Testing one Victron 450/200, first time using a product from them.
Pros:
1. The setup could not have been easier with large ports and access is very simple.
2. A firmware update was prompted from the start and was fast.
3. I like the front readout and data displayed.
4. The Android App is very...
Just want to thank Ben and Ryan at signature for the excellent support, they called me about 30 minutes ago. They were very helpful in answering my questions and now I have all 4 up and running. Tomorrow we can really test it out, with HVAC/Mini split plus 40 amp charging at once. Turned on the...
If it gets cold it will go way over the voltage which you can calculate on panel specs. I ran into this dilemma with my growatt it could not run on 92v but did fine at 138v. But before we even got close to the colder winter days it was going right up to the max input. At 147 you will go way...
Thank you very much for the helpful response, the mini split came in today and started working on that.
I purchased this one from https://energyconscious.com/ they had the best price I could find. As fyi none
of the places I have listed have paid or ask me to state anything. They were very...
So far they are doing great as some of them are in banks that are running the 5 ton hvac, 3 zone mini split, water heater. I have them all marked so I can watch to see if any of the 4p16s banks have issues.
Yet to get a concrete answer on over paneling the 12k growatt inverters and charge controllers. Told up to 18 on the inverters and 20 on charge controllers but at 18 panels it only ran for 1 1/2 months before the mains caps failed. So far I was told only run two in series for 92v+- which the...
I have been ordering from them for about three years. Shipping is always quick and well-packaged, with no damage or losses. I was sent .1875 instead of .25 for my third order. I contacted Onlinemetals, who promptly shipped me the size I had ordered.
My santan order was the most destroy pallet yet. Driver said every turned they banged up against the walls. Only two straps holing them upright. Thankfully the are resending the damaged panels. Very slow process as the grade is 4ft drop every 11 feet. Here's the 1st row of 6 completed.
Sort of got complicated, two of the abb wired to the batriums and between the two 12kw and batteries. With the addition of the
eg4s, I added two more abb breakers to allow me to isolate the batteries between the growatts and eg4 as needed. For the shorter connections between the growatts is dual...
Excited to try this one out: Greenworks pz 48s, 16kw battery up to 12 acres.
I love the stand-ons but many dealers state they do not do sale well. My ferris z2 was heavily discounted
like this one when I bought it. The dealer stated they will not order any more of the greenworks due to the price...
I finished unloading them and started charging one for testing. Voltages out of 40 tested, 35 were 3.291, and 5 were 3.292.
Not one showed any signs of swelling or dents, the wrap was perfect.
First order was from Signature Solar:
1. 36x ZNShine 390W 72 Cell Bifacial Mono
2. 1x Off-Grid 48V DC 12kW Inverter 120V/240V 120A/150V MPPT with Wifi
Monitoring
3. 1x Growatt 12 KW Off-Grid Inverter Spare Boards
Found the we were using around 50kwh per night and that has to be corrected, I'm...
Wires came in so I can move forward with testing later today. Finally two days of sunlight and I have so much production. Turned the heat up and down stairs, caught up on cleaning, washing. Even did handmade pizza as it takes roughly an hour at 500 and still 100+ amps positive. The short days...
I have detailed all my ups and downs with every company including SS. Signature has always made things right but I recommend to be patient and courteous with them. The majority of my calls have shown they want to help and correct any issues. I have had only one phone call was terribly handled...
Managed to use 88.6kw today and will be much higher by 12:00am and was able to charge the batteries from 71% to full also.
All from heat, laundry, ev charging.
I just got back from Lowes, very steep hill exiting my road. Full acceleration from 20 to 45 and was able to hit 149kw usage before letting off. The regen is very good and even slight declines I was able to maintain speed and keep 2kw to 6kw coming in. It does have some torque steer and I really...
My wife is taking it for her first drive this morning, I reset everything on the vehicle. I'm interested to see what the miles per kw will be. I will post a pic when she gets back.
Thank you for the feedback, I hope it helps. It can be a difficult experience buying overseas. Hayley also refunded me twice with no delays which was great as I wanted the older eve with no welded studs.
