Now you need to build a 2-story tower on your property so you can see all of your property and put cameras on it and at night you can sit on top of it and chill out and run electricity to it also.

@PaintSlinger99 9 месяцев назад

I got the Sungold 10k inverter you have, it’s a pretty awesome machine. I ran it without batteries for awhile but ended up adding the SG Powerwall, system runs a lot better with a battery, and no more error codes

I just installed exactly half of that controller in my motorhome, a 5,000 watt Sungold Power all-in-one unit. So far it's working fine. If you need technical help send them an e-mail and they will e-mail you back within a day. It was easy to install and configure. It is much less complicated and lots cheaper than going with separate components, like say a Victron system. Not only do you have 4 options to choose from to set the output mode priority, but you have 4 options for the Charging mode too. There are also 62 parameters that can be set to the user's preference, from battery chemistry and voltage to charge settings. It even has an eco-mode that reduce power consumption by half when not in use, say at night.

@royrobbins2214 10 месяцев назад

I checked out the Sun Gold Power website and the unit you are using is impressive. There 2 issues for you to correct. Your security system should have a direct feed to it, rather than tie it with the other outlets that could trip and take down your security system. The second is the orange wire between the inverter and electrical panel is too small and unprotected. A #6 wire and 60 amp breaker to protect it would be a better setup.

@Mike-01234 10 месяцев назад

I was going to go with Signature Solar one of their EG's but reading the customer service problems on DIY solar forum going to pass. Sungold looks like a good deal. I wanted to cool a shed with a small window AC unit I found out the advertised 350 watts was under best conditions when it's 119F out 5000 BTU window unit drew 980 watts. I had a standalone charger and inverter no way for it to kick over to utility power. Looks like I need an all-in-one unit and add 3 more 12V lithium 100 AH batteries to get 48V needed. Probably add some extra panels Santan still has the 285's I have up there now.

@Mike-01234 10 месяцев назад

I saw another solar install guy said he passed a city inspection he had romax exposed like Eric's setup does. I did some reading says NEC allows romax to be run through hole in the center of exposed framing it cannot be attached across the front facing studs. Looking at the video that seems to be the case way they installed the romax without conduit. Personally, I like conduit looks cleaner instead of stapled wires. I agree with the alarm having its own breaker.

You'll get a much better price for the exact same inverter design (same design, same parts, same warranty, same manufacturer) by purchasing a Sigineer Power 10,000W 48V split phase pure sine wave inverter charger. Both Sungold Power and Sigineer Power are made by the same manufacturer, but the Sigineer Power inverter cost's far less.

@rvboondocker2559 10 месяцев назад

Hey Eric, just for your edification, all solar systems, that I know of do take the sun and run the house with it even if you don’t have batteries. A grid Tied system does that as well. Nonetheless, I happen to have a solar system that has been running for 11 years and the gateway by Tesla that then charges three Tesla battery pack power walls with the excess power and also runs the house. Don’t know what you plan on getting for batteries, but size does matter.

@furmanmackey5479 10 месяцев назад

Make absolutely sure you keep your panels a clean as humanely possible as dust, birds, and clouds are not your friends! A major power company in our area recently set up a fifty-acre solar panel farm to power forty streetlights (not enough power is generated by all those panels to power any of the homes or small businesses in the area). The power company also had to hire a bunch of people to keep all those panels clear of dust and bird poop.

@ikbarbershop 2 месяца назад

That must be a POOR design... I have enough powers on my ROOF to power my entire property (house, offices and media studios) in West Africa with SEVERAL Airconditioners and music amplifiers. Im me tioning West Acrica because the need for air conditioning (on everyday and also overnight) more than balances out the extra sunlinght we get compared to colder climates. So they have an entire acre of solar farm, Im shocked they cant put a dent in residential home demand

@woggs1 10 месяцев назад

Eric, why does the sungold show only volts for input? Volts mean almost nothing when it comes to power production, what I want to see is WATTS!! Please tell me the Sungold lets you know how many watts you are getting from the solar panels. Sheesh.

@platosclosetelcajon1578 10 месяцев назад

No it doesn’t it does KW on unit, also the app they use does not collect the data from second PV input, and also out put L2/H2 and battery negative line. So app will NOT PROVIDE correct data.

@blackhat4968 10 месяцев назад

In Parallel volage is the same. In Series, the voltage adds up. So 4 12v batteries in parallel output is 12v. (+ to +, - to - across the batteries) In series, would be 48v (+ to - across the batteries) So Parallel = Same Vdc. Series = add Vdcs.

@platosclosetelcajon1578 10 месяцев назад

I have the same unit. I’m going to try using another company called Solar assistant for pi in order to collect data. The SmartESS app WILL NOT get data from any second leg. The means PV 2 and battery negative and L2/HOT 2 will NOT be read from there app. So you have to kind of double the data in the app to track the data. That’s assuming the house is perfectly balanced. Just some info for all you if you want to track your data and KW.

I have the same inverter but the 8kw all-in-one. it calls for breakers for the pv-in and the ac-in and ac-out, that i don't see on your install. i get confused on the ac-out which calls for a 3p 63a breaker but then i get lost trying to go from there to a the breaker panel. i assume it should be a 60A main breaker but i don't see any panels built that way and will it be 2p or 3p for split phase...please help

@robgad2271 9 месяцев назад

Most inverter systems, especially ones termed hybrid, will run without batteries, and automatically switch to AC Line Input from the utility company when the solar panels no longer supply enough power to produce enough power, and will while doing that the system box will supply excess power back to the line meter (turning it backwards) with your excess generated solar power. Off grid and non-hybrid type solar inverter boxes don't necessarily do this. This is where the true savings and math come into play to determine if you produce enough total power to be worth it to buy and add batteries, as batteries and the related hardware are expensive and may not be worth having if you are already supplying enough to have a low-low power bill at night when the batteries would necessarily be there to supply power to the system. If you are running a dedicated off-grid system because batteries are what extend your power to night time charge to give you AC power.

@ikbarbershop 2 месяца назад

Youre right. Only issue is when you start up a heavy load (eg Air Conditioner compressor, water heating, iron, electricity cooker, micrwave, etc... athe immediate pull will happen quicker than your MPPT can react to pull more power. Also if the sun goes behind a cloud while a heavy load is on... In both scenarios the inverter will trip out

Not in this case. Only the outside GFCI is protected on that 15amp circuit. Darrell told me why, but I forgot. Might be the wiring?

@lj33p 10 месяцев назад

It's #10 AWG so it will only be rated to 30 Amps. I don't know the output rating of that unit, but it can't be much with only 3000 watts DC. A #12 AWG is rated for 3800 watts AC, add in the loss to convert DC to AC and you might find it isn't producing anywhere near that much power.

@royrobbins2214 10 месяцев назад

@lj33p I think it's 10kw, 3 times your calculations and has surge potential also. There is no 30amp breaker to protect the #10 wire.
