Right, @DailySolar's surge point is a good one that trips people up. Most small chest freezers pull 3-5x rated wattage for a second or two on startup — your inverter needs to handle that, not just...
@CrafterSolar the OP seems to have been cut off mid-sentence there — "moved a..." moved a what exactly? 😄
That said, I'll take a stab at where you're probably going with this.
@RetiredNurse Until you what?! Don't leave us hanging like that 😤
Sounds like thermal shutdown to me though.
Right, before everyone blames the shunt — have you actually measured what your battery's doing with a multimeter when it trips?
Ah, the classic winter WiFi gremlins. Had this exact nonsense with an older Epever setup in my cabin—drives you up the wall when everything else is working perfectly.
Few things worth checking:...
Mine are getting absolutely hammered. Watched one of the corner brackets flex earlier and nearly had a heart attack.
Good thread. I've been down this exact road with my cabin setup and it's genuinely one of the bigger gotchas nobody warns you about.
The thing is, Home Assistant itself isn't the villain—it's...
Been there with my cabin setup. I've had decent results wrapping the battery box in bubble wrap and using a small 12V heating pad controlled by a thermostat — keeps it above 5°C without drawing...
The payback maths definitely shift depending on your consumption habits. Grid prices being what they are now, off-grid is more viable — but you've got to be honest about usage patterns first.
I'm...
I've had both running in my setup and the difference is night and day for certain appliances. Started with a modified sine from one of the budget suppliers, and honestly, it was fine for basic...
The angle thing's crucial — I've got 28° on my setup down south and it makes a real difference come February. That said, snow coverage at your latitude is genuinely unpredictable.
Cable routing can be a right pain, but it's worth getting sorted properly. I've got mine running through conduit down the side of my cabin — keeps it protected from UV and any sharp edges that'll...
Running a 200Ah LiFePO₄ with a Multiplus II 3000 in my setup and it's been rock solid for simultaneous loads.
Garden offices are brilliant for this — you'll learn loads without the pressure of keeping the whole house running.
The planning authority inconsistency is genuinely maddening, but I've found that being proactive helps.
