Hi, I’m also exploring it but most of the solutions are heavy, noisy, bulky and does not produce enough to justify the cost. I’m looking for a 48V turbine, small, silent and with decent ROI.

You may want to consider this. They ship in around 7 days. Thread 'Experience sharing - Buying a 51.2v 14.33KWH Wall mount battery pack from Shenzhen Basen Tech (US stock)'...

You may want to consider this one for 48V 280ah - Thread 'Experience sharing - Buying a 51.2v 14.33KWH Wall mount battery pack from Shenzhen Basen Tech (US stock)'...

Just a thought - How about doing 6s2p configuration? You will be still within the inverter’s voltage range (max 385V, I believe).

What configuration are you planning to put the panels in? 4 runs seem overkill. What is the max voltage allowed by EG4 6000xp?

I don't think they will just give you the 20kwh battery for $2K without any strings. This seems like a home backup system via battery and without any Solar or a generator unless I'm reading it incorrectly.

Another solution could be to put diffent direction facing panels in parallel instead of series.

I see, this way I have been already using the weather app on the iPhone with the UV option from the drop down.

Attached the new wire and it is recognizing only one battery aka the Master battery at address 1 and the other battery at address 2 is not displayed in Solar assistant.

Very detailed explanation. Thank you for that. BTW - I was reviewing SolarAssistant website today and they are claiming that battery connection can happen via CAN (see attached).

Thank you, I ordered the right cable.

Just tried it but it remains in Connecting status. Can somebody please chime in?

Question - Can I connect the Orange PI with the battery via CAN port on the master battery?

Yes, up to 6 units can be put in parallel. https://sungoldpower.com/collections/hybrid-solar-inverter/products/8kw-off-grid-solar-inverter-ul1741

True from spec perspective :-( What could be another option to resolve this issue perhaps put a new similar AIO in parallel with the current one (this will increase the capacity by another 4KW per leg) or replace the existing one with 15K AIO?

Dryer and Microwave together trips the inverter in around 10-12 seconds.

Hi, Thanks for your response. Yes, the dryer is 5KW here is the load power information (pulled from Solar assistant) as an evidence when I ran it yesterday. This number (under Load power) includes the regular load of 200-400W as well.

Observation - I was looking at the product description of the inverter that I have. It says below (marked in red). So shouldn't the Dryer and Microwave be able to run at the same time (in my case) without the fault code 14; because the max peak power is 16000W...

Alright, I installed the SolarAssistant yesterday. Fairly easy (took 1 hour from start to end). I was not sure which inverter type to select and that is the item took little longer. Back to the fault code 14 issue - When microwave is run today, the following was the load on each phase. Phase 2...

For those interested in 100ah stackable modular battery options, the representative told me that they have a US stock available for these. She did not confirm me the price yet. See attached documentation for more details. Looks like this option is getting popular now as compared to behemoth...

Thank you for putting this together. Looks like the price is almost the same (around $150kwh after exchange rate conversion) with the built in floor standing batteries delivered to your door in US with warranty and support. See below for more details -...

Nice work! How much it cost you per kwh (just the material)?

Hi, That’s very interesting. How are you applying this information onto your system size and coming up with the forecasted solar generation?

Yes, changed it to SRNE and it worked. Thank you!

Did I select the right inverter type for Sungoldpower inverter?

I try to connect but it gives up after two tries.

The Orange PI is connected with the Inverter (SungoldPower 8K hybrid) via USB A to USB B cable. I followed all the initial steps on the SolarAssistant website.

Hi, I just installed Orange PI and registered the device but not able to see the data. Can somebody please help?

Juicebox still has juice!

Correct, if you bargain you may end up getting a better deal from them.

Ordered another one (280ah) for the similar price I originally paid (at the start of the thread). It seems building battery pack DIY route (with raw cells) is not cost effective anymore even if you value your time to certain extent. The delivery will be in 7-12 days. I will update once received.

Thanks 42OhmsPA, I’m working on installing the Orange PI. The issue that was initially reported (in the beginning of the thread) did not occur so changing the microwave to a different leg helped. I did another test today and ran the dryer 5000W with Microwave 1600W with the idle load of around...

I have put the microwave on the different leg. So far so good. Will do another test tonight. Thank you for your help.

Yes, I will do that tomorrow and report back. Thank you for your response.

Hi, I have a Sungoldpower 8K 48V Hybrid inverter and around 20kwh battery pack. This is the link of the inverter - https://sungoldpower.com/products/8kw-off-grid-solar-inverter-ul1741 Today, the inverter shut off the ‘AC out’ and threw a fault code 14 (Overload inverter). At that time, the...
