How about a solar car port on a budget?
Crossy replied to Crossy's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Despite my best will, I'm afraid I was weakened by a 15% Lazada voucher and bought another Deye inverter. -
Voltage Discrepancy with APC UPS BV1000I-MST: 230V input & 206V output?
Crossy replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in DIY Forum
If they are that new, I'd be going back to JIB and having a moan. -
Voltage Discrepancy with APC UPS BV1000I-MST: 230V input & 206V output?
Crossy replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in DIY Forum
Nip down to Lotus's or your favourite DIY place and get a cheap digital multimeter. even the cheapies are fine for comparison measurements. Then you will be able to respond to our questions in a timely manner. How old are these units? If your supply is 230V as you suggest there's no reason for your UPS to do anything unusual. Unless, of course the "GammaGlobulin make odd things happen" field is active. -
Voltage Discrepancy with APC UPS BV1000I-MST: 230V input & 206V output?
Crossy replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in DIY Forum
OK, so you are actually measuring the output of the UPS whilst it's on mains "pass through". I note that this unit has a built-in AVR which would explain how it's giving out a different voltage to what's going in. What do you see when it's running on battery? EDIT Do you have a load on the output when checking, try 200W or so. -

Crossy replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in DIY Forum
Are you measuring the output with the UPS disconnected from the mains? It's not pure-sine so you could be correct with your meter thoughts. https://www.apc.com/th/en/product/BV1000I-MST/apc-easy-ups-1000va-floor-wall-mount-230v-4x-universal-outlets-avr/ Either way what you are seeing is well within the normal operating range of most appliances particularly those with universal power supplies. -

If you are going underground make sure your tank will never, ever get flooded. Also, your pump suction line will need a foot valve (non-return valve) at the bottom for best results.

You need a location with easy access to the pipework between the meter and the first tap which needs boosting. That location will also need an electricity supply for the pump. A simple concrete slab to support the tank, a small pump and you're good to go. You may want to increase the pipe size from pump to house if it's less than 3/4".

Fixed the typo (PEA??). That second diagram looks awfully familiar

Apparent discrepancy between metering systems

Done. If you want to adjust the topic title please let me know. -
People of AN your attention please!! A whole bunch of posts which contravene our Community Standards have been removed. Let's keep it civil and on-topic shall we?

Upgrade Solar Inverter+ Batteries now or wait
Crossy replied to eddysacc's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
We got two new 280Ah 48V (about 14kWh each) LiFePO4 packs from Shenzhen Luyuan Technology Co., Ltd. All in USD3,774 (134,000 Baht) for two including DDP shipping to Thailand. Saved a few hundred $$ by ordering them as kits rather than fully assembled. Amy Wan and Shenzhen Luyuan come highly recommended on other solar power forums. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/14KW-48V-51-2V-280AH-Pre_1600894719244.html We treat our batteries reasonably gently with our battery capacity (about 70kWh in total) being about double our total daily energy usage (30-40kWh) so we are not often below 50-60% remaining before the sun wakes up and recharges them (we used 25kWh from the batteries overnight with them being at 60% this morning). I expect them to go on for a goodly while. It's worth remembering that most EV manufacturers offer an 8-year guarantee on their batteries with at least one (MG, I expect others to follow suit) being unlimited mileage. The warranty being that the pack will retain at least 80% of its capacity. -

The best ever Terry Pratchett quotes, unless, of course, you know better! Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life. Sodomy non sapiens (buggered if I know) In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded. It's not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren't doing it. Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind. THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED. Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time. There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist. Just erotic. Nothing kinky. It's the difference between using a feather and using a chicken. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.

In this increasingly PC/woke/something-else world when a nasty storm is brewing do we now have to refer to "clouds of color" rather than "BBC** (Big B***k Clouds)"? ** No not that BBC, or that one (talk about minds in the sewer)!
