So I'm building an off-grid house... At about 25 ft from the house I will have a shed that houses the following equipment 4x MPP solar lv6548s 1x 304ah eve cells 16s with jdb 200a smart bms 1x 280ah eve cells 16s with jdb 200a smart BMS Eventually I will add a third and a fourth battery...

I'm not sure if I found the correct configuration I have four LV6548s I would like to configure them split phase 240 volt... It should be a little over 100 amps I think I found the correct configuration in the manual

So I'm really trying to understand best bar sizing... I've seen a couple different ways to look at it Some people say that you need to look at what your maximum current of all items put together could possibly add up to Other people say you need to keep in mind which direction current is...

Hey y'all... I hope everybody's having a great day. Where do I go to get busbar material... I don't want to get junk but I don't want to be broke either Thanks in advance everyone

I'm getting ready to start planning my build with 4, MPP solar lv6048's These are 48 volt, 6500 watts So I figured each unit will pull up to 160 amps 6500w ÷ 0.85 = 7647w 7647w ÷ 48v = 159 amps So we could call that 160 amps per unit... I think this is a conservative rating as the unit is...

What's the trick to fitting 0 gauge wire on this breaker It's so close...

I'm trying to figure out how to take these units out of split face mode I have four of them that were previously used in split phase mode... And now when they boot up they're expecting to see the other phase and when they don't see it they shut down Takes about 20 seconds to shut down but I...

Up for sale is a Outback Solar gvfx3524, 3500 watt, 24 volt inverter/charger This unit is tested and does work I attached 24 volts to the input and was able to get 120 volts on the output. Asking $450 but would rather trade it for a EG4 Chargeverter Linn valley, KS. 66040

Recently acquired an outback gvfx3524 I was selling my brand new MPP solar LVX 6048 The gentleman didn't quite have enough money but he did have this outback GVFX 3524.. It's a 3,500 watt, 24 volt inverter/charger And more importantly it works But I'm just not quite sure what it's...

So I'm planning to set up for, LV 6548s in split phase 120/240 But I'm hoping to be able to use my small 3,000 W inverter generator... It puts out about 3,100 Watts using propane... And has a really clean sine wave I was hoping that I could configure two of the units to shut off from...

I have a friend who is wanting to build a small RV system... He is looking for an affordable, used all-in-one 24 volt system... I have tried to get him to look at 48 volt systems... But his budget just isn't allowing for it Please let me know what you have

I'm there a way to use my lv6548 to charge. My batteries, using grid or generator power, while remaining on battery/inverter power?

So I have a inverter that I've had for almost two years... It still has warranty on it but not for much longer, what I'm wondering is would it be better for me sell the inverter new inbox untested or would it make more sense to open up the box and test the inverter and show pictures of it up and...

How would you guys suggest powering up a inverter if you don't have a battery to test it with? I have some 12 volt switching power supplies that work great in series... So I could set them up to 48 volts or so I figure that would at least allow me to power it up and maybe test the output...

Got a heck of a deal on four MPP solar LV 6548s They were pulled from the guy's system to upgrade to an 18,000 W EG4 I got them for a pretty good price... Came with all the parallel cables and such I didn't actually get around to hooking them up... Though he was willing to hook them up for...

Let's say that I bought 10,000 Watts of solar panels from a distributor in 2022 And then let's say that I bought an inverter from another distributor in 2022 From what I'm reading the tax credit is based on when you put the eligible items into use, not necessarily when you purchase them Could...

I found a guy who's selling four used MPP solar LV 6548s Trying to figure out if it's worth getting them from him or not? I know I would have 12,000 watts to work with and a pair of MPPTs. Are there any problems with putting these units together and running in split phase? I assume I would...

I have a brand new MPP solar LVX6048... It was purchased from Watts 24/7 I think last year (I would have to look that up) I would like to get $900 for it. Or I would trade for an eg4 ChargeVerter I could ship it... But I would really rather not... I think it would make more sense to meet...

So I'm still working on my house... The house would be completely off-grid I thought I had it pretty well figured out but now I have some concerns Originally I purchased the MPP solar LVX 6048 I thought this would be a great unit and then I could just keep adding to it But lately I've been...

I'm looking for a 24 volt all-in-one, 120v inverter I would need at least a 50 amp MPPT(80a would be even better) and ideally 40 amp or larger plugin charger... I would like the inverter side to be at least 3,000 watts though I'm a little flexible on that At the end of the day it needs to be...

I belong to a local amateur radio club We're getting ready to have field day in the near future... If you're not familiar with field day it's when a bunch of radio nears get together and essentially practice an emergency grid-down situation and getting calm set up Anyway you get more points if...

So on a group I'm in somebody posted what they claimed was an 80000 watt car subwoofer system... Naturally I pointed out the absurdity of this First I started by taking 80,000 watts and dividing that by 13.8 volts which works out to nearly 5,800 amps Then I explained that a single 4/0 gauge...

I have been thinking, propane is a great way to heat water... But if I have excess solar power, which happens a lot in the winter, I might want to heat with solar... But I can't seem to find a water heater that can do this... Anyone aware of anything that would work?

Hasn't been a lot of sun lately... So I've been unfortunately having to use generator more than I care to In an effort to increase my efficiency I looked around to see what I had I had some switching power supplies... They were 12 volt and adjustable so I put a pair of them together in series...

Title says it all... Thank you in advance

A While back I bought a whole bunch of 24 volt battery packs off the battery hookup for super cheap I have a pretty large 4S battery bank and it's pretty cold right now I did go ahead and test by hooking up to a car battery... And the results are that the heating pad draws about 3.6 to 3.8...

I can't seem to figure out the heater function on the JBD 4s 200a BMS...

It's been several days without sunlight... So I have been trying to come up with a faster way to charge batteries when I'm using generator Currently I have a large 4s battery bank. About 20 kWh My Aims power inverter has a built in charger... About 85 amps I was thinking maybe I could...

Getting ready to build a 16s lifepo4 battery, 280ah eve cells I'll be using a 200a JBD BMS What are some affordable options for heating the cells? Thanks in advance

I have an Aims power 3,000 W inverter... That is hooked up hardwired to my RV (30 amp) I'm also building a completely off-grade house and I just finished the 120 side of the electrical I figured the easiest way to test the 120 circuits was to install a double breaker (normally used for 240v)...

I'm planning to build some bus bars... I will be feeding two, 1/0 gauge cables from a pair of batteries on one end into a 4/0 gauge cable to an inverter on the other end Of course there will be various other connections made on these busbars as well... I'm wondering if a 2-in wide x 1/8"...

For those of you that have do it yourself off grid systems... I was wondering what your experience has been Does it make more sense to overpanel an existing solar charge controller? Obviously you're not going to get much more, if any, additional peak output... But it will definitely smooth out...

Can you mix different brands and/or models of stackable all in ones together? I know the official answer is going to be NO... But what is the actual, in practice answer?

So I've got a bit of an issue... I need to start bringing my new system online... Need to build the new battery... I need to do all the things... Lol. I need to test the inverter. Here's the problem... I don't have a place to put the new solar panels yet However currently I have one system...

So I live off-grid and have a completely off-grid solar setup... 22 kilowatt hours of lithium iron phosphate batteries and several MPPT charge controllers... What I found is the sunnier it gets the more noise I have on all bands The noise seems to be spaced about every 40 kilohertz It's kind...
