Interesting. Fronius has a strong presence in Canada with good tech support. We also have a very low failure rate - can't remember the last time we replaced one. There were some supply issues earlier this year but we are receiving inverters and parts. They also have a good rep for low failure and

I think Fronius has left the building. The reason I know is they stopped sending me AFCI repairs about 2 years ago. There was not any support from their installers in remote places like the Sierra range. I would second Tump on picking a good company with real money and products. Below is a

Re: [RE-wrenches] .5 C charge rate for LiFePO4

2023-08-25 Thread Steve Higgins via RE-wrenches
For Rolls/Surrette LFPs, .5 is the suggested max, but on a 130ah bank, 13 to 65 amps is acceptable. We'd like to see it around 20-40a. Remember, if you go with lower charge rates, this increases charge time, and if you have batteries in parallel, having a bit higher rate gives you more time

Hi Jeremy, I think LiFePO can handle these high charge rates, but you don't have to provide them for battery health. They are happy at lower C rates too. On Fri, Aug 25, 2023 at 6:41 AM Jeremy Rodriguez via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: > Is it correct to size an PV

[RE-wrenches] .5 C charge rate for LiFePO4

2023-08-25 Thread Jeremy Rodriguez via RE-wrenches
Is it correct to size an PV array to provide .5C for a Lithium Iron bank? 130Ah x .5 = 65 65A = ~ 3.5kw PV DC Seems overkill for one battery. Any advice is appreciated. Jeremy Rodriguez Solar Installation / Design All Solar, Inc. 1453 M St. Penrose Colorado 81240 Sent by Jeremy's

Fronius was dead to me after the IG failure rate and customer dissatisfaction that came from it. I never sold SolarEdge, and I am glad I didn't for the same high failure rate issue. Today I am swapping out so many HD Wave inverters, dealing with the 3G modem shutdowns, and constantly fighting with

Mick, I would avoid trying to use a manufacture that has little NO support OR product availability. IF your using the Schnieder Pros, I would suggest you consider the 600/100 CC. This product is more then capable of handling 7kW of input. They are available, compatible w/ their (Schnieder’s)
