    there is a special material needed for this surface coat, not standard stucco... it's called surface bonding cement, then you should have it on a concrete or precast foundation with rebar up through the center according to code and then fill it with the right material (not sure if it's mortar/grout or concrete) but it should be filled with concrete and rebar and then it won't come down as easily if you do all this... but you need that QUICKWALL, not standard stucco. QUIKWALL® SURFACE BONDING CEMENT QUIKWALL® Surface Bonding Cement (No. 1230-1231) is an alkali resistant, fiberglass reinforced, portland cement based surface bonding cement used for construction of dry-stack (without mortar) cement block walls. Add color with QUIKRETE® Stucco & Mortar Color.

    Hello Sir, I've just purchased 2 of the same 24V 200Ah EG4 batteries to change out all my Nickel batteries. Before converting over to the EG4s and powering down to unhook the pos/neg cables to the EG4s, do I need to set my Conext SW 4024 in Standby mode? Is there anything specific I need to do before switching over to your batteries?

    • @taosjay

      I would definitely power off the SW 4024 before changing the battery cables.

    Mini Solar (Winter) Tip: e.g. a Beuler and all other hungry electricity consumers can be continuously adjusted down to e.g. 300W with a 5000W dimmer (7EUR). I run 5 dimmers in parallel on an 850W inverter. Kettle 2.2KW at 150W runs 12 hours a day, so the water is always hot. The room is also nicely heated. 2.5KW washing machine runs in parallel with dimmed to 200...400W. Iron, dishwasher, oven, electric heater, coffee machine, all internal heaters are throttled with me. Videos about it on my channel ruclips.net/video/eC2olbCBhh0/видео.html The inverter stays cool, quiet and the MOSFETs remain intact because extreme current peaks no longer arrive at the inverter. Now every Mini PV Inverter is enough to sell large devices...

    Two questions. How is the Batt capacity determined? I have 8 12 v 200 AH Lithium batteries which will replace 8 12 v 200 Ah gel batteries. Whta is the voltage on this context 4048 , is it 24 or 48 volts?

    • @taosjay
      @taosjay 2 года назад

      Batt capacity is determined by Ohm's law W=V*A you have 8* 2400Wh giving you 19.2 Kwh overall. My inverter is the Conext SW 2524 basically 2500W continuous from a 24V system.
