What piqued my interest is your offer to connect me to a local installer. I'm in Phoenix and am having a terrible time trying to find a company that will do an install for me because I've already purchased my modules, inverters and ground mount hardware. Do you know of Phoenix area installers that work with people like me? I'm trying to get this done ASAP
I am in the process of gathering components for a 35kW ground mount install here in Phoenix. I have (50) 700w panels already, and they are very large, 48" x 96" roughly. Would the Tamarack system support a 3-stack vertical? I'm noticing on the configurator, they don't recommend panels greater than 45" wide for 3 tall configurations. I just ordered my Hoymiles HMS-2000-4T's and hopefully will have those in the next couple weeks. Once I procure all of my equipment, do you guys have recommendations on anyone that services the Phoenix area that can get my engineering and hopefully installation? Does NAZ service Phoenix? I'm ready to get this project going now that I have the bulk of the main components. Thanks for the video, it's really helpful.
This is the first understandable description I've found of what I want to do with my existing solar setup here in RI. I'd love to see a schematic, and I have one question at this stage: Is there a way to automatically disconnect from the grid when it's down (and reconnect when it's back up)? If my array and batteries are hot I don't want to have my lines to the outside world powered while utility company crews are working to reconnect me.
I have an old Magnum inverters MS4448PAE two in Particular coupled with 16 Deep Cycle Batteries and 16 BP PV with the output of 3200watts which I’m using now how can I use this output to Coupled with my New SolArk 15k that I’m about to install
Thanks for the tour. The SolArk looks like a great choice. Do you recommend a Victron ESS system? Can a Victron Multiplus 2 ESS system even be permitted for grid-tied connection in the US? It has nearly the same features as a SolArk. Thanks
I have a question on the Vectren 150 volt models would it be safe to think that I can install 2000 Watts no matter what how many amps I have to push into the battery so for example I'm looking at getting the model 150 volt 45 amps does that make sense
why is there not an ac out wire...but you are doing ac out you have a wire on the ac in ...but on the controller it doesnt show anything , just ac out what am I missing
How much does it cost to get help from NAZ for any troubleshooting? I dont to share plant unless I know how much I am paying to share or receive the help
If you ordered your system from us, our support is free! If you didn't, there may be some things we can help you with, but we may not be able to solve all of the issues.
good evening sir, your video is amazing, my question on dis MORNINGSTAR TRISTAR TS-60A SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER, can it change li-on lithium batterys? thanks for the answer.
@JohnEnergy2012 definitely possible! The portable version might require some fabrication, but it's definitely possible! Give our team a call and we can explore ideas with you!
Fantastic video. Thanks. I'm planning on doing a system like this for my RV and have some questions. In this dual 48V/5000 inverter split phase setup, if you had a smaller generator, like a Honda EU2200i, which is limited to less than 15A, would the autotransformer be needed or even useful? Without the autotransformer, would the 15A generator load be shared by both inverters, or would one be in PowerAssist and the other inverter only? Also, if these two inverters were set in parallel mode, I understand that the input current limit is doubled, so this system (with PowerAssist on) would only be able to go down to somewhere in the 27A range, correct? Is this also true with them in split-phase? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to use PowerAssist with small 15A-20A generators or house plugs without overloading them.
@tonystaut3743 it looks like in our editing process we may have clipped that portion out! Our apologies! If you need help with this urgently, you are more than welcome to call our team, we'd be happy to help you. We'll see if we can't get a video highlighting that information published soon. Sorry about that!
Thank you. I will call, but that video can't be posted soon enough. I have been looking for something like this for a while so I can do exactly what you are describing in the rest of the video. I am really digging NodeRed!
@richmarriott7468 we think it's pretty easy! But everything we sell has a manual included with it as well. You can also always call us to troubleshoot if you're having issues!
You should do one using the Pytes hub and how to set up groups of batteries, also their battery monitoring and OTA firmware updates.. I have a pile of these and they’re amazing, the published manual for the hub was wrong but was able to get immediate tech support from Pytes and had it resolved in ten minutes.. still want to add ten more in the fall lol..
A diagram is a must. The sub-panel is connected to the main panel with cables obviously. So when the GRID goes down, why is the sub-panel disconnected from the main panel. What makes that happen? Do you manually flip the breaker to the sub-panel?
If you intend to charge an EV with a standalone (off grid) or emergency backup power solar system. It's important to consider the technology that's used in the inverter. High frequency, transformerless inverters provide a much lower surge capacity and a shorter life expectancy than heavy duty, low frequency, transformer-based inverters. Additionally. high frequency, transformerless inverters do not provide any galvanic isolation between its DC boost stage circuitry and its AC output which can allow high amperage DC current to pass through to your EV's onboard charger and damage it. You may be able to use a high frequency inverter to charge an EV short term, but it would just a matter of time before the MOSFETs or IGBTs in this inverter fail and you can kiss your EV's onboard charger goodbye. A much better and safer choice if you want to charge your EV with solar is to use an inverter or power station that uses low frequency, transformer-based technology in its design. Low frequency inverters can handle high surge loads for at least 3x their continuous rated capacity and they can do this repeatedly, without sustaining damages to their MOSFET transistors, for minutes, rather than the milliseconds that a high frequency inverter offers. And because low frequency inverters use a transformer, they provide galvanic isolation which protects your EV's charger. That's why the big-name brand inverter manufacturers like Schneider Electric, Outback Power, Sigineer Power, Magnum Energy and Victron Energy and others, all use a low frequency topology in their design.
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
Would be nice if you guys send one of these batteries to Will Prowse, he is got a lot of followers and i believe he can do a fare assesment and promotion, because this is a quality premium battery. Anyway just a thought
@michaelo6003 Absolutely! You would find and connect to it the same way as we did in this video. As you probably know, the Pheonix can't be stacked with other inverters though, unlike the ones we've been showing in these videos. Just making sure you're aware :) Cheers!
Very cool. How does this effect controlling ac input current when you change it using the MP’s BT dongle… will it always revert back to 50a limit when it comes off of genny power? Had no idea about the NodeRed. 😅 I try to keep the installations simple. But, nice to know that victron is changing and adding cool features on a regular
