Thanks for the compliment.
Against wood degrading pests, the wooden casings stand no chance.
From this month however, 12v 3.5kwh/4kwh buyers wll have the option to choose btw plastic and wooden case. 24v 7.1 - 8kwh buyers will also have the option to choose btw wooden and foreign metal case.
Oh! Excellent... This is a welcome development..... More sales and kudos... 👍👍👍👍

Good thread

Wahala for who no get extra 180k 😂
Or maybe it’s just his total energy requirement and therefore may not need more than that capacity.
well, my power needs is way above 100ah battery now. I run constant 200w all night.

I attempted this today.
Inverter isn't coming up, not sure I hit the BMS LVD, but I set the inverters LVD to 20V which is the lowest.
When I check the current battery voltage, it's ready 22.8

Do you think this should solve it?
we're waiting for your feedback.

And the wooden case will be cheaper while direct cells will be the cheapest. All na same na just aesthetic. Variety they say.........every man with im choice. grin

Yeah that’s the point, everyone has their specific power needs aside the finances.

By direct cells do you mean using the battery pack bare? Are there people using their battery pack bare with no issues?

Yes, but strongly not advised.....unless you are pretty advanced and are at home 24/7.

Please experts in the house do I need to have DC breaker between inverter and battery?Most of the set ups I see don't have it but my Installer said it is necessary.

If it is very necessary should it be 1 pole or 2 pole Dc breaker? My battery is 200ah Lifepo4 battery.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by cutefy: 8:47pm On Jun 01, 2025
Elizkid:
Does anyone have an experience with this?

How does one know if it’s genuine lifepo4 battery, as I don’t know if Cworth has a warehouse situated here.

The price is 276k.
It's 177k, if you're getting it from Cworth distribution center.

Lol, you will become the sacrificial lamb and take the place of the BMS noni cheesy

But yes, if you set everything proper, you can get away with it.

Just like you have noticed, it is obviously not necessary, especially if it's a smaller system.

However it is safer, so if that's the way he installs you should probably allow him to go ahead.

You only need one pole for the positive.

Please does anyone use Gospower inverter here? I have this solar of things app and the layout is so basic. Doesnt show total energy generated, daily generation etc. just basic PV output at a time and consumption

Chief you said many incorrect things and your long post would have been better served if you focused your argument at saying LF inverters are more reliable than HF inverters when it comes to consistently carrying bigger loads.

Instead you incorrectly inferred that the inverters brands that are usually recommended by most on this board (Deye, SRNE, Growatt) are meant for the poor and 80% die in less than 2 years, directly contradicting the years of testimonies this thread is built on. Or is their a survey you want to point to that confirms this fact that you claim?

Using this forum as a basis it is clear that people are well served using quality HF inverters brands and there have been plenty tales of transformer based inverters that weigh a mountain that are repeatedly repaired and give little value.


Your advice in this day and age is pretty inaccurate/archaic and has been rightly called out by the majority of contributors here.... its definitely not meant to be taken personal, as most people on here are new and come for advice, especially as they know very little about this world.
The bolded letters seemed like you are shouting at me. Calm down.
I may have made a quick less informed mention of Deye and SRNE, but I know for a fact that Growatt in the USA is seen as a poor alternative to better inverters. They get very bad reviews generally over the years. Because of the 120v output? I don't know, but it's not considered a good brand. But we praise it here as one of the best.

Correct.Oya update is with price and pictures.
I know you like running your things low key but your prices are very reasonable

Hi @ preator

This video explains your gospower wifi logger features. In the video he had historic charts.

Well I guess we praise it because it delivers and is good value for money spent. It's like the days of Lead Acid when beginners like me thought Trojan must be great because its what they use in America....only for me to luckily find places like this that taught me the Indian made Quanta is a far better battery to use because it was designed for tropical climates like ours.

So yes Growatt has it issues (especially if you are forced to rely on their warranty), but it's design is superior to Felicity inverters....and I believe more reliable.

As for the bold, you are the first person to claim I am shouting, but no vex sha. I make a lot of typographical mistakes and I find it easier to read through in bold.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GloryJoyeux: 10:43pm On Jun 01, 2025
Indeed today’s sun seemed like one of the best for solar yield in the past few weeks.

I charged at a steady 9kW (170Amps) for over an hour straight.

Another benefit of 48v systems, 24v system will essentially be 340Amps for same charging speed and battery capacity.

110-120v is the typical US standard electrical rating as we use the UK standard of 220-240v output except I am missing something as regards the output voltage.

These guys needs lots of improvement, BMS Communication no work well

That Solar of things App is super slow.

Have you changed your maximum PV Power on DEYE from 6500w to 9600w?

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GloryJoyeux: 11:07pm On Jun 01, 2025
@ Damreey

Yeah Max pv on deye is on 9,600W. However, PV2 is usually partially shaded by noon, so I mostly get 12-13kW out of possible 14kW total panels (inclusive of victron charge controller).
