Is this one of the DIY kits with charged line sets or a normal line set?

Guess you could use Polaris Connectors and combine into a single double pole 3awg copper run to panel.

Think that’s the BMS power button

@Brett V looks like a solid build to me. What are a few examples of what not to do (let’s not talk about compression as one of them).

I am as well. Its worked great for two months. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Still haven’t seen more than one of these inverter BMS’running in parallel.

There are various projects for Victron Shunt integration. I have one controlling my EG4 6000xp. Been working great for about two months. Thread 'EG4 6000xp CANBUS Comms with Victron Smart Shunt w/DIY Battery'...

Mine should be arriving Monday. Assume this thing has some WiFi capability like my Aura 24k, although Alexa driven. I also have a sensibo device I run with it. Kinda pissed it has no LCD

Ugh. I just pulled the trigger yesterday on the 18k floor model. So there is no indication of set temp or room temp the unit is reading?

@Brett V , Perfect. Thank you. I have a Lynx power-in converted to use 58v 125amp mega fuses for my 100ah batteries. Want to add a layer of additional protection like this.

@Brett V do you happen to have a photo of this? I was thinking with something similar off the positive post.

Agreed, always says it on the serial monitor, just make sure it’s disabled. Still having the intermittent issues @Josh4?

@Gotshocked!, I love our Senville 24k and was just looking into that same wall/floor mount in 18k. Need to mount on a wall about 6” above floor. Can the line sets and drain come in from the back of it?

@Josh4 also make sure PylonProtocol is disabled. It doesn’t work as expected, having it off is perfectly fine. @ScrotusGobbleBottom did you ever get the 100%SOC leveled out? I’ll be working on mine this week to get a little more balance time with the additional batteries.

Do you have the CS wire on the correct pin on the ESP32? Only thing I can think of is either incorrect pin (GPIO2 in the code base unless modified) or loose connections. Have you tried another cable between MCP and inverter. I’m at two months with zero issues. Getting ready to add another...

Was interested in these but shipping is a killer. From NAZ, 5 power fields are $449 + $450 for old dominion freight to North Carolina. That’s ridiculous.

Getting ready to do this work and rethinking use of gutter. Neutrals are also current carrying conductors. Moving 10 circuited will be 20 conductors between old and new panel. Think I may just nipple the recessed panels together and call it a day. Will ‘plumb’ for new AC OUT of main panel to...

I can’t search or see my previously posted content to get to a specific thread. I just get these errors. Tried both on and off WiFi.

Thanks @HighTechLab . This house is 25 years old and panel never touched so by extending to sub, now need to look across all circuits and figure out which ones need gfci and/or arc fault. Ugh.

I plan on extending hot and neutrals for each circuit. Leverage busbar like Dexter did for ground. Reading further about derating: If more than 3 current carrying conductors in more than 24" of conduit, need to derate If using a METAL gutter/trough, need to derate AFTER more than 30 current...

@HighTechLab Do you happen to have the NEC code reference for this. I'll probably have 10 runs of 12/2 swinging over as well as the feeder, probably more than 24" based on panel placement. Is it: Table 310.15(B)(3)(a)

@HighTechLab, looks like you just had a ground bar in the trough for all the Romex runs and a single run down to panel. Inspector did't have an issue with that?

Just watched a video from @HighTechLab. He did something similar to extend his romex during his home Solark install. Looks like he extended from romex to thhn then down the flex conduit to panel. He went top to down. I’m going opposite direction. I’ll cut out Sheetrock under panel, pull out...

Nope. Here they are after I took that blank plate off. No wiggle room at all. Counted 17 romex coming up center large knockout on panel. All jammed through the lower wall plate Still considering 6x6x36 wire trough under both panels. Could ‘fix’ some of that center knockout cram issue on main...

The 10 circuits I want to move to CL Panel have about 5” of romex jacket on them between bottom of panel and bottom wall plate(red line) Won’t be enough to swing over. There is only one wire out of the top of the panel going to a sub panel upstairs. So my only options would be to mount a...

Think I’m going to just drill another hole through the stud and have two nipples between the panels. This TS one looks to be 1” and I can use a 1.5” or so at the top. Use THHN to extend main panel circuits to sub panel and then the feeder. Messing with a trough under the panels seems to be a...

@billvon So I can splice romex to romex in a 6”x6”x36” wireway/trough going under the panels and terminate in sub panel. I bet I have 15 romex wires coming up the large center hole in the main panel today, not sure why I would need to punch out a hole in the back of the trough for each or two...

@billvon So for #1, I can splice romex to romex in the wireway and bring it to second panel. If so this is great, have about 100 feet of both 12 and 14awg laying around. Assume a 2” knockout for each panel in rear of wireway would suffice for all the romex and thhn for feeder. Or are you just...

Been skating by with a full main panel and manual transfer switch for inverter for a while now. Well we bought a PHEV and now need to add a panel for additional circuit(s), want to anyway for when I upgrade my inverter here. Really like the 6000xp at my cabin but will need bigger here. Anyway...

Not at my cabin right now but believe it is 99%

My charge voltage is 55.6v but SOC is hitting 100% before that so balancing doesn’t occur (luckily my pack is balanced to .005v).

Thanks @sijones2010. I’m sticking with the non-testing branch. It has worked well for over a month for me. @ScrotusGobbleBottom and I are discussing separately the voltage/SOC drift that comes out of the shunt as once the inverter sees 100% it disables charging and I’m not getting balancing...

You can download VS Code for Linux for this project.

If you have a high end gaming rig with a Nvidia RTX card, there is a local version of AI you can install and all data is kept local. I haven’t tried it yet but heard it works pretty well, I saw where you could point it at a site with content and it will summarize.
