Blimey quite a set up you have there mate very interesting, like having your own special mini version of the national grid lol . But anything you can do to stop getting shafted by the energy robbers has my vote . And if you get a bit chilly you can get on that drum kit and practice some iron maiden that’ll keep you warm 😜cheers dude 👍
Interesting to watch mate. During the shorter winter days how's it been running, can you get everything you need from solar alone or do you have to take off the grid now and again?
Cheers mate 😁 This setup on my house is twice as powerful as the one on my garage and since I’ve had it on in mid January I’ve only had to go on grid for 2 days and hardly took anything so it’s working really well mate, I think I’ll still have to go on grid for a few days through winter but I’m working on other methods of off grid power to get through them mate 👍 cheers man
Hi there , it’s me again William, Ive been looking at the charge limitation when using octopus go. With growatt 5000es, I found a simple din rail timer contactor that we can use to program the exact times for the inverter, setting the inverter to always allow charging , then switch in the grid with the timer contactor. Also I found a 100amp mains charger from signature solar , this can then be used with the timer contactor to allow 100 amp charging to the minute without using the inverters at all.
@@pcmultimedia1 Hi William, sounds good, also the separate charger is a good move especially if you also have batteries on standby that aren’t even connected to your solar setup, that way you could still take advantage of the cheaper night rates if your normal solar setup is still charged. I think with any spare money I get I’m going to build as many batteries as I can afford 😂 cheers 👍
Spent the day fitting the Selpos BMS to my battery bank, removed the Jk BMS. After thinking out how to mount the BMS and having acces to the connectors , I came up with an easy way. After that I configured the growatt inverter to lithium battery with the Li mode and setting the protocol to 52, That worked ok , unplugging the cable gives an alarm ( no comms ) which proves it’s working ok , so no problems with that part, I’ll connect with the Pc next and set some BMS parameters. I think the Bluetooth app is for the Selpos is android only . Which version can I download for use on the iPad ?.
Awesome, I’m glad you’ve got the Seplos BMS working. The app is available for the iPhone and it’s called EN BMS in the AppStore and will also work on your iPad, the user name is admin and password is 111111 👍 cheers
