  • New Ruixu Battery

    Just got the email this morning, a wall mount or floor mount (with wheels) Ruixu battery. 16kwh (314 Ah) self-heating with canbus and rs485 comms. https://www.ruixubattery.com/product-page/lithi2-14-3-battery-bank With early bird discount code plus shipping it is $206.19/kwh, lowest I've seen...
  • Interesting Product - EcoFlow PowerOcean

    Reads like an interesting product, DC to DC, before the inverter on the PV side of it. https://enterprise.ecoflow.com/eu/solutions/home-battery/PowerOcean-DC-Fit
  • 2 or 1 is the question

    I'm still trying to figure out what direction I want to go, but I'm solidified on at least 2 choices, a sol-ark 15k or 2x EG4 8K. I like the idea of two 8k units for a sort of redundancy setup but the amount of history and deployments of the sol-ark are extremely enticing too. I am planning on...
  • What battery chemistry

    I'm a bit off from having solar actually "online" but data gathering for battery when I get there. I'm lucky in the my utility is still 1 for 1 kwh net metering so I'm not rushing to be "off-grid", however I am in the country so power outages are a thing. I am more interested in having the home...
  • Nearly there - Equipment Grounding

    Not sure why I can't figure out the proper grounding for my system. I have two arrays, Sinclair Adjustable Ground mount with 3 posts per array. I was advised I can run a #6THHN from Array 1 to Array 2 where I have my disconnects to a grounding bar and then down to a grounding rod. The real...
  • Rack Mount or Wall Mount

    Going through the debate of what battery style to get, timeframe is "summer". I have kwh to kwh net metering, the desire for the battery is to provide short-term power backup in the event of grid down situation versus banking power for use later. I can make the floor space for a rack mount setup...
  • Reverse of critical loads panel

    I'm looking at moving forward with a sol-ark 15k setup (batteries to be done "later") and of course one advantage is the full 200amp passthrough, no need for a critical loads sub panel. The thought process that's on my mind though, when I do get batteries, what's the best way to load shed high...
  • 16kw DC Solar with Sol-ark 15k

    I have a few other posts but I think I'm narrowed down to what I need to finally go to the bank and get my funding! I'm looking for a ~16kw DC power solar system linked to a sol-ark 15k. Quantity 36 ~450W panels - what panels exactly will depend on what is available when I'm able to actually...
  • 12V LiFePo4 for shed

    So I have a small shed that really all I need is lighting for, inside and possibly motion sensing outside. I have 240Watt panel, 24AH LiFePo4 (without cold temp sensor) that was a gift and a solar charge controller that supports Li chemistry. I know I'll need a small heater pad to keep the...
