Hello again,
Just wondering if anyone has been made aware of an ideal solution for failed
Outback boards for the VFX and FX series? Maybe it’s their policy with the
newer FXR series as well but ever since the Alpha Group acquired them around
2010 (I believe that’s when the headaches started any
This isn't just a Li+ issue, this has been a problem going all the way
back to the 90s. Basically many AHJs don't catch it, but its still a
violation. We either keep the battery cabinet shallow, or we put the
battery cabinet to the side. Just use some common sense, if you are
having to lean
Is there anyone out there who is capable of repairing an old Cruising
Equipment E-Meter? I have one 20-year customer whose E-Meter has failed
in one function and she has not been pleased with the algorithm of the
TriMetric 2030 that I installed to replace it. The old meters are so

I just had a plan reviewer kick out our plans for this very reason!

But it will definitely be a problem in a lot of future installs. No
Tesla is ac coupled you need the tesla transfer switch and a sub panel,
everything into and out of that. But its AC coupled so there is that too.

Hi Jason
I’ve seen this happen to battleborn.
They sell a totally cobbled part to prevent that.

That sounds interesting. But I see Simpliphi now has a preconfigured
Sol-Ark system with the inverter mounted in thier AcceESS enclosure from
the factory, not to mention preprogrammed for the number of batteries
purchased for the system. If I were to go with Simpliphi I might lean

100kWh/day of consumption is pretty typical during hurricane season in
Florida for the type of client that can afford battery backup and enough PV
to keep the frozen margarita blender going. My clients don't want to change
their lifestyle. After all, they don't have to with a whole house
generator.
Anyone have experience combining some Tesla Powerwalls with Sunnyboy inverters
ro other string inverters?

We have been using them regularly with Fortress Power EVaults (18.5 kW)
with very good results. Fortress is working on the communications between
the two, already have their Flex5Kw battery working with it. Easy to
install, dependable and the 400 lb EVault is on wheels. Just back from

I'm reading that the working space must be down to the floor/grade with the
exception of other equipment extending up to 6 inches deeper than the
enclosure for which the working space applies.
For example, technically you can't put a 32 inch deep base cabinet and
countertop below a load center. I
I’m using Simpliphi inside an outback battery box, very nice looking package.

Hey Jason,
I've installed a few systems now using Fortress eVaults. I like them as
they are a nice 18.5 KW increment and the BMS seems hardy - nice
interface screen showing SOC on each battery.

communications (and talk to So

I had another battery manufacturer's BMS contactor weld shut due to an
inrush current problem with another brand of inverter. That was "fun." It
seems strange that this issue of cap loading hasn't been addressed.
Hopefully it will be.
To clarify the SOC not drifting... Are you saying in an off-gri
I'm seeing a lot of pictures of LiPO battery systems and people are
mounting equipment above them like load centers, inverters with
disconnects, and other serviceable enclosures. Some of these battery

For those of you installing Sol-Arks, what LiPO battery do you recommend? I
need something scalable to at least 60kWh and with closed-loop
communication to the inverters. And cost is always an important
consideration. Finally, something that looks pretty - competing with Tesla
is tough with some of
