Someone had asked me for a video of the xfer switch in action. Here it is.

It's a CAN message on the bus itself. It's not a simple voltage detection on a pin

I skipped PP and went straight to my CC (Amex).

I never even got anything. Funny enough they sent me tracking info that said the item was delivered a day before I even made the purchase. My CC company already refunded me so for anyone else. DO NOT buy it from the $99 link posted.

So 3 years later. Anyone every get their kit?

I just got a PayPal email that the package was delivered on the 14th but I paid for it on the 15th and of course nothing in the mail. Did you get something similar?

I just bought one. We'll see if it's a scam or not.

I'll take the second cubby (CF with long flat handle) shoot me a PM with your PP email

FYI for anyone wanting to replicate my build. Jack Rickard from EVTV, the creator of the controller I'm using to interact with the modules has passed away. He ran a pretty small shop and other than his developer Collin and a couple employees he was a one man company. In other words, that...

Your sunt trip breaker should is meant to be a safety disconnect, not a control device. In other words the the inverter should control the charging and discharging via its built in settings and turn on and off accordingly. If a situation arises where the inverter either fails to stop producing...

I have my pre-charge set to 10 seconds and I've never had an issue with welded contactors, but like you said the newer versions have different contactors so that could be why. I sent you the JSON for the flow. Let me know if you have any questions.

What do you have your pre-charge setting set to? I created a NodeRed dashboard that decodes the UDP packets (same as come out of the CAN port) and that's how I get live access to the data, let me know if you want the code.

My AHJ didn't care about UL on non-grid My AHJ doesn't require UL for non-grid interactive inverters. In other words if it doesn't backfeed the grid which the sigineer does not. You can look at the SMA Sunny Island, you can parallel 2 together and get 12kW. Outback Radian also has a...

That's not correct. FL has them too, the rule is: if you have modules on intersecting sides of a roof face then you must have a setback of 36" (18" from the hip/valley on both sides, 36" from the ridge and 36" roof edge). If only one side has modules then you don't have to have a setback since...

The sigineers use a 19kW ATS. That's why you're seeing the deltas in your numbers, for example my 12kW can invert 12kW when running off the battery but while on standby the ATS will bypass 19kW. Because of that you need to ensure that your wiring and breakers are rated to 19kW and not your...
