      Ouch -- I can still feel my fingers though my thumbs are shot (gotta get them fixed soon as the injections barely work on my left now) and the arthritis is making it more difficult to use them (getting old aint for the weak!) but you've got me beat! Not feeling even the tips of the fingers would make these puny screws even worse!

    A 14 year Temporary Install sounds pretty permanent to me...! =)

    • @TheOldJarhead
      @TheOldJarhead  3 месяца назад +2

      LOL Funny thing, it was in the porch originally. Long story short, I put it into the porch in 2010 and thought that would work but as I was working full time I didn't have the opportunity to change things. Then I started my business, moved to the cabin, upgraded the power to pure sine wave 4kw inverter and 24v etc and said "I'm going to do something different"...and my business and job put all the cabin power on the back burner....but I had plans to move some inside and batteries to the back room once I finished it.
      Along comes and even busier time for work and my business (portable sawmilling) and things didn't change much. Upgraded to 2nd array etc and continued to say "I'm going to finish this"....and here we are today, having moved it all to the back room finally (in an emergency) and I HAVE to get that room done.
      I suspect the temporary/permanent installation will get sorted out sooner than later as I need to fix the entrance into the room and finally panel the room. I can't keep lifting the door out LOL so....
      Wish me luck!

    Good review! Thx.
    Seriously considering moving up to 60 amp CC now that I understand the combiner box aspect.
    BTW, ass backwards works for some of us 😅
    Thx again for good info and reviews.

    • @TheOldJarhead
      @TheOldJarhead  3 месяца назад +1

      I'm happy with mine. Sure, I'm over sizing the CC and lots say not to but after all this time (14 years) I never had an issue running a 60a cc with just 615w/11.27a of solar

      lol nah. If they were Li-Ion then maybe but LiFePo4's are far more stable.

    Yeah, I wouldn't buy anything that requires an internet connection to operate.

    • @TheOldJarhead
      @TheOldJarhead  3 месяца назад

      It actually doesn't. You just need to install the ap, which like all things today requir3s service. Once installed it works great

    • @TheOldJarhead
      @TheOldJarhead  3 месяца назад

      On a side note, virtually ALL solar components that have software you have to download off the net. They operate without it though. So, for example, this charge controller DOES NOT require you to have software. Only the Blue Tooth module (which is an extra) requires you to have the ap. Just as Victron does or, for example, my old Morningstar required the software for anything beyond what the GUI provided. The Bateria is easy to setup and use without any software at all and more so than the older units I have.
