    Victron MK3-USB interface module - used - Victron 5.9' VE.Direct cable - SF Bayarea $45

    $45, including shipping to lower 48. I bought this off ebay, seller description of used and fully functional, to program my Multiplus II, but never had the chance to use it; returned the inverter as it was advertised as UL and it was not UL. Original ebay seller ad no longer shows as...

    WTB: Sol-Ark 12K sold

    Looking to buy one of these all in one Sol-Arks, anyone want to sell? Talked with Sol-Ark to split L1 and L2, one line per 120V critical load panel (2 CLoad panels installed). They said this wouldn't be a problem. Only issue with the 12K is shutdown on imbalance, that the 15K could handle...

    Sol-Ark 5K 1P

    I'm scratching my head on this install, and it's probably an obvious answer starting me in the face on this single phase inverter. I'm hoping someone has the interest / is able to describe this connection in this youtube video. The installer seems to be running the 120V inverter out single...

    Permit related: off grid definition and EMT use

    Howdy. Hope everyone is well. I'm using an internet-based permit service and I'm hopeful the DIY experts here can help me with a couple of questions regarding the drawing. In trying to describe my system, the draftsperson stated that my system is grid tied when I was of the thinking was not...

    Carling / Midnite Breaker Feedback

    Just received this Carling/Midnite breaker and wanted to get feedback. The brass post is well connected (riveted?) to the steel terminal, however the entire post/terminal assembly is quite loose/moving around quite a bit in the housing. Is this normal? When the breaker is on, movement is...

    Victron Multiplus II 5kVA

    Hello forum members. I was hoping for some input on this. I picked up a 5kVA Victron inverter and the online manual specs 2 AWG from the AC1 output...holly cow. The manual also states a max capable current of 137A due to the 95A AC shore input, which I will not use. So, I will never see...

    Fuse stated amperage and time/current curve

    I searched for this and found no reference...apologies if a repeat. I'm curious why the fuse amperage seems to never be met on the fuse opening/time curve? If a fuse is 200 amps, I would expect the fuse to open at 200 amps at some point. The below curve for low amp fuses as an example. The...

    Victron putz

    Update, I think I found a class T fuse to fit the Lynx shunt. On order and awaiting delivery. I may be completely off base, but feeling like a schulb here. I fell in love with/bought the Victron Lynx shunt and distributor idea, but failed to read the manual where as the only fuse package size...

    48v off grid schematic; the disclaimer! Complete solar newbie…

    I pieced all this together from reading through/viewing the various information via DIY and other internet sources. Would someone give me a sanity check before I go off the deepend? Purpose is to supply off grid power to select circuits from the main utility powered panel via a manual transfer...

    Looking for solar panel roof top installer - Marin County, California

    Hi, I've tried with two local solar companies for this, but the project is too small and they are not interested. Yay, they are busy and this is good all the way around, right?....boo, I'm physically unable to do this myself and in limbo. I do not have the panels yet, so I'm open for the...
