I have had good responses in the past from a local HVAC shop - when they are not busy they will brake-form sheet metal stuff for me that is too big for me to do with my own tooling. They seem pretty reasonble on the costs. Can't hurt to ask.

I wonder how many we can list: Explodey Self Distruct Rapid Self Disassembly Spontaneous Rearrangement...

5500W inverter if pulling max current on a 48v battery is approx 115A - well under the 150A rating The BMS overheating may be poor connection or undersized wires connecting it to the loads. The breaker tried to trip, but fused closed - so something pulled higher than normal current, and once the...

It Depends: My system runs my business and my home next door, typically the overnight draw-down on my 99.6kWh ESS will be 15% running both properties. If you have three days of ESS available, then any one day is about 33% and depending on what runs at night you may use 10-15% overnight.

Nice spot! Seems Aus has a good network of installers for a dollar per watt, see who is in the area? Remote enough the rules don't apply???

Yeah, I figure since the 6Hp Air compressor cycling doesn't dim the lights like the DeathStar powering up, then all must be ok in the Solar Power Plant output.

I will chime in, I got my first 100Ah server rack from Sig Solar, it is a good battery, but cost me quite a bit more than the second 100Ah server which I got on a pre-order from Solar Parts Store (Orangeville/Barrie Ontario). Things have changed quite rapidly since then (2021) and today you can...

Interesting, but we don't really know unless we measure it. In my set up I am running three low-mid-tier MPP HF inverters in parallel. The inverter set up was/is for my business really but since it exceeded my expectations, and was just too much fun, I added in my home which is next door. Now...

You stated "it is hard to get a good stable waveform". I thought this may mean you have an Oscilloscope to track the waveform - to know it is "not stable", otherwise from where does your comment originate ? I have a picco scope for working on cars and tracking down ignition problems from...

With utility rates (likely) increasing, the payback will be even shorter. (y)

do you have a scope to illustrate what you mean? - curious, since I am running a lot of motors on HF AIO's.

People have been through a lot in the last few years, a pandemic, jobs affected, then we got past the pandemic but supply chains continued to be an issue, then inflationary pressures, rising interest rates and world political unrest/tensions. It is unsurprising that sales of an expensive new...

NICE! Hope the roof is not too high up...and hope it is shingles not metal roofing !! For all the talk, I really don't think it matters that much, as long as the in-rush current is within the limits of the inverters. My HF inverters just hum along running shop equipment, Elect Dryer elec HWT...

or see where the Hertz EV's are going to auction - if they are selling off a significant number, maybe you can pick one up for low cost, and low mileage?
