Let me know your thoughts on this 24v build? I really enjoyed putting this build together.

You have a very good presentation. Lots of excellent details and understanding

I think one of the few things that no one seems to show and you have which is absolutely fantastic, is a shutdown step photo with pictures, diagrams ,arrows etc. As hobbyist or preppers or DIYs or whatever we all are you know your system and I know mine chances are no one else in the family does though. So your diagram is absolutely perfect❤❤❤

I live the sungold power inverter. I have a 4000 watt split phase 24 volt and it runs my entire off grid 30 foot camper including a 9000 btu minisplit. I built a 30 kw battery from 280 ah grade a eve cells. I also have another battery that's about 7kw of leaf modules but it's kinda for back up if I was to ever need it. I also use several charge controllers but my 150-70 victron is the newest addition and victron is king for sure. I'm using 1850 watts of sharp solar panels at the moment but hopefully in the next week or two I can get another 8 or 10 panels. This solar stuff is addictive lol. I've spent about 30 grand so far on my off grid stuff but as long as the wife is cool with it I don't see stopping any time soon. So much enjoyment in building this stuff and q great way to spend time in a positive direction

New subscirber. I have been ofr grid almost 7 years now. I live in the open range of eastern Arizona. I like your video.

I just recently started my research on battery back up for power outages. I'm a HVAC tech and DIY person in Hawaii. really enjoyed your video and step by step instructions thanks you for sharing.

I am still sticking with the 24v builds also; so much, that I bought a 24v grow watt all in one when they were on sale (still in the box). Battery storage/ capacity is the big issue with power walls and for the price of those beautiful rack mount systems, you can DIY for almost half the price. Yes sir, Victron is great, Sol-Ark is great but I leaned towards Epever which gets the job done without all the 💸 for my first builds. You sound well rounded, you have got to buy raw cells and pack build them out; you got the hard part down packed, understanding fuse sizes, wire gauge and wire length. Take the leap of faith 👣 Cheers! and keep preparing!

Nice project!

Enjoyed your.content and your conciderd approach. The "kill you part" was worrying as two thirds through my build but guess I have some past knowledge and competency. Always put some insulated gloves on whatever the voltage and amps.

EXCELLENT LOAD TEST OF THE BEAST WITH THE HEATING APPLIANCES ESPECIALLY THE SOLAR DEGENERATOR HEAT GUN .MAY THE SOLAR BE WITH YOU .

😄👍Good To Know, Great Tips

Thanks, I'm thinking about doing something like this, but on a smaller scale with the Sun gold 3000w hybrid inverter. The set-up tips are fantastic.

i have one of those but for my 48v system and it's 6000w. LOVE IT! Works amazing!

Thanks for sharing your trials as you go! It really helps when we can see different setups - especially for those of us who don't have 30 grand to throw at a projext!

You sold me on SunGold inverters. Nice review. Keep at it. Yes 48v is more dangerous but be careful and you are good.

Very nice system. I run 200 amp battery system to power my ham radio station. Also to charge my power tools. With 400 watts of solar.

Thank you for this video. Your setup allowed me to see what I would be capable of running. That was a real stress test . I have three refrigerator/freezers and 2 freezers which would not cycle on at the same time and that sungold would be more than adequate to temporarily run my house

i have the same but 24v 3000 on a 35' travel trailer

I love the way your presentation is applied. Parts described clearly one by one Even the small remark about safety of 30vdc. As well mentioning the install portion of the correct measurements prior to install . Most videos are quick install and no technical information or manual pics displayed for confirmation of correct install and error messages displayed. I will follow your site. Thank you

Nice job

Great design and demonstration.

Intense testing and well explained setup. I just subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Great presentation 💥

Great knowledge!! I love the Unit shown....Now i want One...The generator start connection 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯💪

Great video. I just recently ordered a Sungold system. With 6k split 110v/220v inverter. 2 x 48v server rack batteries, solar charge converter as well as 4 x 450w solar panels. All Sungold Power components. Can't wait for my system to arrive. I'm installing in a mobile showroom for automotive equipment.

Enjoying your videos. Subscribed today. Thanks!!

Nice build. Only suggestion is to use Hardie backer Board ILO plywood. Non-combustable.

Nice Job. Thanks for all the links !

This video is very well done. Congratulations 🏆

That is a nice set up I hope to have one like it

I love the way the equipment board is set up, I did something similar. 😊

I used an Aims Power inverter charger, similar inside to the Sungoldpower but mine is 24 volts, 2000 watts. I used twenty big marine batteries but four of them have went bad so Im changing them out to 31 series deep cycle batteries, as they quit. The charger in mine is 30 amps. The low frequency pure sine inverter charger weighs 46 pounds. I've used the charger twice in three years. I don't have a grid hookup. I have a Winco Lil Dog generator. My battery bank is 1000 amp hours. I have the one dip switch set on the lower voltage, so the batteries would have to get down to 21 volts to cause the yellow light to come on. I think I have enough batteries now to change it to the higher setting, which would be any time it gets below 24 volts, the charger will want to come on. I used number 2 welding leads on all connections. I have two pairs of them connected to the inverter charger. I added a 600 watt wind generator in March. It was supposed to be 24 volts but they sent me a 12 volts one. I hooked it up to half of the batteries and it has saved me from having to use the gas ⛽ generator this year. Full charge is 25.7 v and they usually are on about 25.2 in the morning right before they start charging again. I have sixteen 100 watts panels hooked up in eight pairs. The Epever 4215 BN charge controller is 2% more efficient at 33 volts than it is at 63 volts. Using higher voltage will just result in a hotter controller. So I have to have the panels close to the controller or lose wattage. The max on the controller is 1040 w. , I have had 1020 w. coming in from the panels in July or August. I used #4 welding leads from it to the batteries. I've gotten by with the cheapest batteries for four years. Im thinking about upgrading to the other kind, but I'll have to save up for awhile. I have tested the overload on my inverter charger, in November 2021, I tried running a welder that took 2400 watts. I got my wood stove built but five of the twelve MOSFETs blew the tops off. Jay at Aims Power said I overloaded it. So I changed the control board, power board, and temp sensor. He said I needed a 4000 watts one to run a welder⚡🤔, but I bought the Winco generator for that. I was going to get a 3000 watts inverter charger to start out with but they were sold out, and I didn't have the money for a 4000 watts one. So I got the 2000 watts one. It's better to just not overload it. The little red light comes on around 2140 watts. Supposedly, it has a 6000 watts surge and all that, but don't believe it. Maybe for a second. I have the same two GFCI outlets and breakers like yours. The battery selector and on/off switch is in the same spot. I know there's a couple of sizes that if you take the outside covers off, you can't tell the Aims Power from the Sungoldpower. It has the same control boards. I didn't know that until last year. They don't advertise it. I like how you have yours . Mine is a little more hillbilly. Im living in my uncle's barn until I can find some land close by that I could afford. It's too far from the power pole to run anything but a light bulb 💡. So I don't have everything like it could be. It's all temporary for now. I'm going to keep mine 24 volts. I think the 48 volts stuff is nice but probably too pricey for me. I would like to get three of the 24 volts, 100 amps batteries to run the Aims Power inverter charger, and then I have another inverter, an Ampeak, which is 2000 watts, that I could run off of the best 16 or so of the lead acid batteries in parallel. It can run a grinder or a saw, or something like that. I'll keep the pure sine one for the freezer, TV, and like that. That way everything doesn't have to run off of one inverter. I'll have to get another charge controller. I guess that's my next upgrade project. That will give me an excuse to build a 24 volts wind generator to charge the new batteries when the sun 🌞 isn't out. I have to go get a new battery this morning. They're $130 apiece. It's 2 a.m. and the MT 50 meter says 25.0 the wind generator meter says 25..08. The voltage will improve after I put the new battery in. Well this will be my fifth winter off of the grid power. I keep improving it as I go. One day, I will have my stuff looking more like yours. The main thing is, that it works. I always wanted a battery room, anyway. And with twenty three batteries, it will look impressive 😁👍. I might not have the biggest, or the best, but I'll at least make a showing.

This is a very interesting and helpful video! Thank you so much!

Good info,thank you.

New sub. Saving up to build a similar system, thanks for posting this video.

You did a great job on this video, thanks.

I use 2/0 wire. It's kinda oversized but it helps with surge loads. It's not really necessary but it's alot easier on the inverter if you over size the wires. Great system by the way. Thanks for showing your stuff.

Well done! I would look into EG4 server rack mount batteries (5k watts in either 12/24/48v configurations) for $1,000-$1200 each and then an EG4 or Rich Solar inverter/charger for $5-600 w/ canbus. Less wiring too!

Yay! This is much better... This size of system works. 4,000 watts is the most you would want to connect at 24 volts. The current flowing is 199 amps. The batteries deliver at least 200 amps continuous. Hopefully.

Great vid.

very good

Awesome inverter but this inverter is actually not made by Sungoldpower. Sungoldpower does not manufacture any of its inverter offerings. Sungoldpower is just a system reseller that rebrands the products that they offer. Sungoldpower inverters are manufactured by Sigineer Power. Sigineer Power manufacturers inverters for several renewable energy companies including Aims and Sungoldpower.

great videos. i've watched many battery system videos and yours was the first i heard make the point about 48v being potentially deadly. great point, i might stick with 24v, thx

Have you done any testing with inductive loads? (electric motors/compressor/etc) Your setup looks very awesome!!!!

I love your videos am interested in watching

As far as short wire lengths go, I found it’s always better to go with the larger gauge, which alleviates the heat problem. This should solve the problem on the cut off switch to the battery. Also, the fuse should be about 7 inches from the positive battery connection.

I have the 24v lfp 3000watts version, set up very similarly and using the same way . I did set my dip sw1 to 1 and tripped into charger mode at 22.7v . I wish I could set it to trip at 24v. Overall very happy with mine

Outstanding video! Well done! Subscribed, bell rung, commented, upvoted, liked, shared .... may the algorithm gods smile favorably upon your channel friend.

Great video! I just subscribed. I love my Junctek battery monitor that I use for my 48v batteries. Very accurate! Also a great Bluetooth app.

Here's a tip: Do not install your inverter vertically. My older Spartan inverter I had mounted vertically because I saw everyone doing this on KZfaq. It was a 2200W inverter. My inverter stopped working. I opened it up and found my fuses, falling toward gravity, and were melted together. Likely the fuse holders had too much resistance which caused them to overheat, and melt the solder. My new inverter EGSCATEE actually had instructions not to mount vertical, but I had to read every line of the manual. Also, I doubled my wattage from 2200W to 4000W in hopes my inverter will last for more than 3 years!

I thought you had actually built an inverter, which is what I've been looking for. Anyone have a link to that video?

Again, this video is very instructive. Two things, 1. The wire coming off the bus bars is 1 ought not 1 AWG? and 2. Do you think a battery balancer would be a good addition to your battery bank? Really appreciate your help!

I also very much appreciate the time and effort you put into making this video. It is going to be very helpful in setting up a similar 24v system with the 4000 Sungold inverter. A few questions. If you only had ten 100 watt panels wired in pairs (series) and run through a combiner box would it be sufficient to power this inverter (basically 1KW). I'm in northern Alabama and we do get a lot of solar here. Secondly, are the cables you ran from the charge controllers to the breakers and then to the bus bar 6 gauge? They appear smaller that the 1-0 cables that are easy to see. Again thank you very much for an excellent presentation, know you put a lot of thought and labor into it.

I really want to try the sungoldpower 48v 6000 watt split phase inverter for our mobile charging system. Another Powerqueen fan. We have two 12v 200ah that have been running a 9k btu minisplit for almost two years. We have another four running an EV charging system for our Ford F150 Lightning. We’ll be adding another 10kw to that system in a few weeks. I’m just not sold on the server rack batteries. I tried to add a battery balancer to the two in our shed, but found that after a year and a half, the batteries were perfectly balanced all on their own, and the balancer, actually ended up being unnecessary.

I started with a 12-volt system. But I have several electric vehicles. Two of which are dirt bikes. One uses a 48 volt 3 kwh battery the other uses a 3 KWH 52 volt battery. It works out pretty well as the motorcycles are usually around 80% charged. I also have stationary lithium battery packs for storage. And I can use my 12 volt system to charge the higher voltage powered by my Chevy bolt car battery. Which is 66 kilowatt hours. It's kind of a cluster but I don't have any solar

Did you find any inverters that are 24v & 48v in your research? Why powerqueen over the EG4 24v rack batteries about the same price but the rack batteries have better build quality/BMS low temp cutoff user serviceable ect?

You can buy this identical inverter for a much lower price when purchasing it under its Sigineer Power brand name.

Just what I was searching for, so a 12v 200ah battery is kinda equal to a 24v 100ah battery

I like these videos. I think you would Be happier 6 panels 320 W with a 250 70. victron charge controller. And keep it at 24 V. My setup like that works really well

New subscriber Nice looking setup How much did this cost? Thank you for taking time to show us this

Really detailed video. Two questions if you can cover in upcoming videos. Can 6 gauge silicone cables be used for batteries instead of the expensive 2 awg. Detailed video on how to create mc4 extension cables.

Wow awesome video sir. I wish I had your knowledge. I'm in San Antonio, Texas. How can I find someone to build this in my home. What will be the cost? Thank you! Mario

Have you had any issues with neutral bonding, it appears the inverter has a bonded neutral which when wired to a sub panel that is earth bonded can cause a neutral bonding conflict. Much the same way a floating neutral generator is used for powering a transfer switch to a home panel, not a bonded neutral one.

Hi there really nice job.My i ask you what's the AWG panels wires? THANKS

With that much power you shouldn't use a class t fuse?Shouldn't you connect the smartshunt cable directly to the minus therminal of the battery?I didn't know that it is also allowed on the busbar and so to the minus thermal

What size fuse are using for that size wire ?

Hello there! Pricewise talking... How much will be the budget for the settings? Thanks

Very informative, Can you use a 10,000 watt modified sine wave generator without damaging unit and battery? or is it too risky?

NO 24v to 12v buck converter to DC load panel?

48v DC is still considered pretty safe and low volts. I believe you need to get over 50 to not consider it low voltage. But seems like 24 v is a sweet spot.

How many panals are you working with thats my problem i have too many but building up to it.

I like your set up very much I was thinking about a low frequency inverter similar to the one that you have in service.I decided to use a high frequency inverter instead until I determine what my needs are. That wire that is getting hot is not because of it's ability to carry the current it because of the switch not being able pass the rated amount of current. There's a KZfaq video channel Called WattHour " Review of Battery Master Disconnect switch for Car, Rv ,Boat or sound system" . He does a complete review and teardown of it.I think you will appreciate the review. I have already purchased one of those switches. I will return it to Amazon . I am not an expert just my opinion that the switch maybe the culprit based on research.

Great video! Getting ready to do my first solar system, and I'm torn between 12v & 24v. Want the system mostly to power the fridge & deep freeze when the grid power goes out during storms. Also a few lights + charge devices. So... 2000W (maybe 3000W) draw. Your thoughts on 12 vs 24 in that situation?

Are you confident to go out and leave things running off it?

I purchased a 24v lipo4 battery 5.4k and was planning on putting together own system. After thinking I might would have beem better to just bought a solar generator. My question is do you know a solar generator that I can hook up my battery to with no issues

I want to get a beefy inverter like that too but im wondering how you can get that much power from it when your not plugging in directly because extension cords would probably stuggle to safely take it.

Where can I get that type of your inverter

What's your max run time with this setup

what are the economics of say running a dual 2000w 24v system over a single 4k/48V system?

About how much would this run

What was your primary reason for choosing the LF inverter and individual pieces verses an all in one system?

I'm new to this but have 30 100w panals a couple 200 ah batteries and a couple 100ah batteries trying to build system with a 3000-9000 watt inverter and weak charge controllers all at 12 v but can go to 24 except inverter is 12 but I bought a reducer and waiting on combiner boxes with fuses that combine 6 positive negative wires so I bought two but over my head a bit what do you recommend two systems or just one? I have bus bars and a big on /off switch I'm still connecting all not sure but I like what your doing and trying to copy and have the panals I'm just not a electrician I'm a carpenter by trade off grid .

i have the aims 4000 watt 12 volt inverter looks like the same build it has no lcd display and no house hold outlets but i looks the same dont need 4000 wats in my setup but for the quality of my unit its what i will use to buy a 3000 watt inverter on the cheep side it would cost me 400+ my inverter is heaver the 54 pounds

One comment/question - you use 2awg from the batteries to their dedicated bus bars, but then 1/0 from the bus bars up to the rest of the system. Seems like the 2awg is the weak link there. Any reason you didn’t just use 1/0 for this part of the system?

I’m trying to build a 4kw Solar inverter but I can only find car inverters in my country, is it advisable to use it for home??

Hi Sir how much all costs come to in pounds❤

I squared R losses are just to high @ 24V. 16S LFP "54V" is the minimum for continuous use for most loads. Actually 400V is the best option but the Mob "UL" needs to keep the sheeple in the fold. ie. dependent ON GRAFT. No North American equipment listed over 60V. Actually 9V has been fatal so take no chances. There may be no second chances. Wood backboard offerse no protection for the house in a chernobyl event.

Excellent organization, explanation and overview of the entire system and the components - one of the best I have seen on KZfaq. What is your "all-in" cost for this?
