I have to disagree a bit here. First, it's obvious the OP simply meant that he meant no disrespect to those that this has a negative tone toward. I highly doubt that the OP actually was worried that this rant would be a bud lite. Also, those aren't private messages. They are business...

My build Here.

I thought staring at the inverter screen was the next step.

All I know is that I'm not putting a mask on.

This is a quote from someone who doesn't want the job, but if they got it, it will be worth their while.

I will get into the political side. Plain and simple, liberals want to restrict EVERYTHING to electric. NY state, where I live, is banning gas appliances. Feds and states are banning gas cars. And guess who will be controlling the electric. If people don't see what's going on, they are blind. Is...

It is a long read, but it is very well written with the issues spelled out clearly.

As I get older, I get grumpier. That's why I moved to 30 acres in the country. Got tired of dealing with douchebags like that.

Well, would you believe I printed out your post and burned the paper it took and heated my whole house?

I think if you don't mind spending the money, and you can get what you want in a premade battery, and you aren't doing it for the fun, then certainly buy. But I'm not made out of money, I didn't have room for standard batteries, and I do like projects. On top of that, I know the quality of the...

I've had my first of 3 sets of 14 panels on my house for about half a year. Finally got around to putting up my second set. We live in basically a holler, so raising the ground panels was the goal. Decided to make a lean-to to accomplish this. Used the same Unirac mounting that I used on the...

Sorry the pictures are blurry, my phone just sucks. This is a standup case with 16 304ah cells. Cabinet is a knockoff of Vevor 16 X 24 X 12 deep. Seplos 200a bms, 300a T-class fuse, and BEP Marinco disconnect, which has been confirmed safe to use on a 48V system. Not in the pictures is...

On the positive side, the Biden battery is perfect for basement installs.

He very clearly laid out the issue and how things transpired. People do that all the time on here, though usually not as clearly or fairly. I can understand that you want to get to the bottom of this. But, your approach is coming off as desperate and defensive. Again, it's not on him to solve...

Gotta say, I count myself lucky. We have solar from the original idea that my wife wanted some type of backup for the well. She's a prepper. When I explained that it would be more ideal to have a full system, she was all in. Now we are looking at a heat pump dryer. She is interested in an...

As a project manager in manufacturing, email has saved my butt many times. Yes, you can have much more of a conversation on the phone, but when it comes time to cover my butt, there's nothing like having an email to forward to the boss. On top of that, it allows both parties to deal with it at...

I don’t always go the extra mile, but when I do…it’s because I missed my exit.

There is no connection for me between climate change and solar. I want solar because: Electric is becoming more expensive Shit could hit the fan Electric is being politicized I want control of a very important part of my life I'm sure I could think of more reasons, but the above is enough for...

That paints a one sided picture. Based on unproven facts about how much we are contributing, and discounting the environmental cost of green energy.

Comes with a protective cover in the shape of a diaper.

I bought solar last year, now I be poor.

Energy per capita isn't the issue. How much that energy consumption contributes to global warming is the issue, if you believe in that sort of thing.

Here's the thing with SS. They apparently move a lot of product. When one person out of a hundred from a small company has an issue, that isn't a lot of noise. When it's 10 out of 1000, it's louder. When 100 out of 10,000 have an issue, it becomes deafening. Still only 1%. Read the reviews on...

Today I've learned..... LTO batteries are more likely to catch on fire than LifePO4. Some people use alligator clips for permanent connections. 7000+ posts isn't respected by all.

When you can get a unit shipped to you faster than support replies, that's an issue. We live in a world of instant gratification. Very often, people can resolve issues faster through the forum than through support. If companies don't like issues aired online, they need to attend to them more...

It's a small pool to pick from who can and will rule for the elite. There are so many people who could do a better job, but they aren't what the controllers want. Government simply no longer serves the people.

Change has to happen organically. Make a product better than what we have, people will want it. Tell people they have no choice, that never works. Right now, EV isn't always the better option. Maybe some day in the future it will be more often than not.

20 years ago, they were called tin hatters. In the last 5 years, these same people were called preppers. In the next 10 years, these same people will be called right.

I think if you want to just buy one, or if you need ul, then probably the way to go. But I'll stick with my DIY. Under $3k each, 304ah, only 16" X 24", and around 210 pounds. I really wonder why their battery is so big and heavy. Pretty sure if I can squeeze the cells in this cabinet, they...
