As always you sold me Ian. Just ordered one.

I have one of these connected to my 4 Lifepo4 batteries that is connected in both series and parallel. But even if I double triple and quadruple checked I somehow managed to connect it to the battery with - and + wrong, I do not know if it is ruined or not as it does only light up when it is balancing?

Will it supply the homes main panel with battery and or solar power by utilizing only the grid input connections. Doing zero export with Cts?

Either discharge the higher voltage battery or charge the lower voltage battery. too easy

Am I correct in assuming that load 2 is similar to the Smart Load on the Sol-Ark?

I see risk of a set of keys or random pocketed screwdriver potentially causing a nasty arc-flash or fire. Too many exposed terminals of high capacity battery modules and breakers that should be metal boxes. Wow! But really cool from a tech head perspective.

Hi Im assuming all lifepo4 chemistry is that right? Are they the seplos bms or all different? Also what brand are those big breakers please?

Wow. Impressive, makes my little system look like a toy 😂

do you have trade in

does the inverter comes with free shipping

Nice job Ian, Keep up the great work 👍

Ian can these work outside the US on 50hz?

Is it possible to limit the wattage AC OUTput on each leg to say 500W?

Im using an old trace sw5548 and have picked up the trace T240 autotransformer. The inverter has its own transformer. Following trace manual for wiring in their autotransformer shows the same wiring. Will my system present as a hazard if I do add the transformer?.... Ah, I asked my question too soon it seems? This is a European issue with the way their power is delivered not a problem in the US? Just need verification because, as youve stated, our 230 transformers utility pole Y type delivers 120 each leg with common/neutral center.... correct?

Is the Nhx-10kw inverter a low frequency, transformer based inverter or a high frequency, transformerless inverter?

Ian has enough storage to keep a city block lit up for a few days...

Ian, so for us with the older now LV5048 or LV6048, what is our best upgrade path. For me I built my solar array with the benefits of the lower VDC of the solar inputs on the 5048 so I can tolerate shading easier but now most of these new inverters won't work with my configuration ~40ish volt panels in 2P so around 80-90V. What is the best option and I can't get another 5048(to combine two) or easily upgrade my 5048 to anything.

What are the surge/peak power specs?

Absolute gold info, showed me so many things i didn't think were possible. I have a Hive (Alpha Ess) battery, grid connected. 5.8 KWH 3KW output and was told i cannot add a different battery without removing this one. What do you think?, Is it possible with grid connect to add another battery, I have 2 seperate solar arrays with 2 seperate 5kw inverters

Put a voltmeter on your leads, that inverter voltmeters are not accurate, your charge is most likely 2v higher than set #, same with float. When not charging inverter will show -1.5 lower than actual. Glad to see you got the new display. Now you have to lower the values enough to be accurate and not overcharge. The new display shows clipped values and the charge volts # is float volts on mine .

Hi Ian I'm using solar assistant and when I program the inverters I am running in parallel only the first inverter changes charge source priority not the second one can you help please I'm running two u5648ms inverters

I purchased this model for a lead acid battery stack of two 12v batteries. It started to work and the B light was flashing as that battery voltage was much higher. After a few minutes I heard a pop and the B light stayed on steady. The batteries did eventually balance, but then the B battery voltage became higher than A, yet the light for the A battery continued to stay lit. It seems the balancer failed within 5 minutes of installation.

Hi can I connect two inverters of the same type to the solar assistant when they are not in parallel

I was thinking that the Lux power units were the best value for the money now you have caused me to rethink things. A good unit for the money. Good job. Not in a position to install anything yet.

The solar system will last much more than the Lightning

Hi i recently aquired a kit of 5 V5 pytes batteries. I wanted to add these to my current 48100R pytes battery bank of 600ah. (around 30Kwh). Unfortunately i was told i cannot parallel them because they are different model. Can you tell me how can i make them work together? many thanks

I feel you are correct in that it may not be the right bike for the job. Watching the development and eventual, often delayed, release of real product into the wild, I was always under the impression this bike was sharply motocross focused. Battery wise, it only has to last a moto. Suspension and handling wise, it is set up for a mx track. Surprised the handling/suspension differences between the ktm and SV were not mentioned. Maybe it was mentioned and I missed it, but for what you are wanting, how is the ktm? It appears to be a solid platform. Being a totally new product, it is not surprising it has some bugs. Oddly enough, I have not heard a single peep from any of the motocross channels about the charger, or throttle cutting out under full load. The throttle issue is something that is absolutely dangerous on a motocross track. Having the throttle cut out at the wrong time off a jump face could easily cause the front to rotate down causing an endo, easily resulting in serious bodily injury. Wow! This is a serious issue that never should have made it into the wild! Anyhow, yeah, I am jealous. Looks like you have a vast riding area, probably some great trails, and lots of toys to enjoy. Ride on.

This batteries have an order to turn on, you first turn on the black button for all of them then you press only the master red sw for 2 seconds..I just learned from their support team

Some guys have removed the charger from the box, if you do this you will find that there is an led display of sorts on the side opposite the heatsink. I believe it changes colour as the battery charges, there is a sticker around the led which is a key to the state of charge, don't know how accurate this is, hope that helps you if you have problems later with charging and need to identify if the charger is actually powered up?

So, they designed wrong 😒, Is like a beginner engineering mistake 😒 A battery can cut it's power for any reason, especially when they are in parallel, a fault in communication from battery to battery can cause an emergency shut down, for the inverter to blow up for cutting the power is a design mistake, inverters especially need to be power loss resilient, no mater if MPPT charge the battery or not when the battery is cut off. MPPT's throw power to battery up to maximum programmed voltage, if battery is disconnected the MPPT need to output maximum programmed voltage till AC power output is higher than the MPPT can give, when output power is higher than MPPT can give the voltage decrease and the inverter enter in low power protection, that's how such inverter need to be designed to work, not this garbage.

Nice Video, I did not see a mention about SD card. Do I add for local storing of Data or does the PI store on itself or when wifi connected to my router wifi passes the info to a cloud?

I want like 5 of these lol can you make a quick video of adjusting the angle with panels on it @watts247

I would remove the board and make sure that all the screw posts don't make continuity with the board I can even add a plastic washer to be sure and then see that the both connections of Neutral and Ground both show OL on the multimeter to keep me safe.

What other battery brands does the inverter communicate with?

Agm? Is lead battery not lithium Why?

Smart move using a low frequency, transformer based inverter instead of one of those low budget, short lived, low surge capacity high frequency, transformerless inverters that everyone seems to be using nowadays.

Hello, I have already bought two Pytes batteries What device should I buy to check the state of charge discharge of each cell individually I mean the health of the battery thank you in advance for your reply

Seems odd that you have to manually restart after an overload, terrible design.

Do I need a up/down transformer with off grid system

Range is one thing, but how about the throttle cutting out and forcing a reset? That would be a deal breaker in and of itself. Whats the fix for that issue?

I ride a 32 hp 350 Piaggio and I get about 62 miles per US gallon (74 mpg imperial gallon). Averaging 80km/hr but faster on the open road. No solar where I am staying in town. But lots of solar on the farm - free energy! Any suggestios for an electric motor cycle for semi-offroad use?

I did the same thing but there is no voltage until connect with the bms. Can you show me how to get it works. Thank you

Bought my LV 6548 and combiner box off Ian a while back,very fast shipping just got it a running 2 days ago working great. I’m hooking up my batteries tonight so I’m back for a refresher. These guys are great thanks so much @Ian’s Solar Projects

You don't have clue what you're talking about. If you connect a scope or a frequency meter at the output of the FET board or the primary windings at the transformer, you'll measure 60 or 50 Hz. Besides, if what you say is true then where are the high frequency transformers, and high voltage caps and high voltage diodes in this inverter? There are none.

Are you selling these? I don't see them on your website. Thanks.

Is this grid forming inverter? Can I create a micro grid and connect my existing grid tie system to the generator port as many other inverters suggest?

Thank you very much I have a 5KW 230v inverter 48v GVW 230 1 phase ! Thanks 6:25

Would you mind sharing that guide to make diy cable for communication?

Just got a lightning myself. They are the best EV for us in the off-grid community IMO.

You are lying, its 48Vdc clickbait shite
