#AskFedi Does anyone out there do real, serious reviews of DC-to-AC #inverters ?

I don't need NASA's rating, but I'd like to know I'm not getting screwed paying for #Victron or #Renogy

My real question is: does price reflect value?

I repaired a #Victron Cerbo GX (Solar/Battery controller) which stopped working at a friends house.

PV-Gebastel ist doch etwas anstrengender als Lego. 🧱🥵

Die Wechselrichter hängen und die jeweils fast 200 kg schweren Akkus stehen endlich am richtigen Fleck. Die ganze Familie braucht jetzt definitiv einen neuen Rücken... 🩹😂

Aber der härteste Teil ist geschafft und es geht jetzt zügig voran! Das Kraftwerk nimmt Form an. ⚡💪

@lennart It's #Victron's freely distributed Linux-based OS for energy management. It connects via Wifi to The Cloud and I can monitor stuff from home. It is connected to my MPPT solar charger, a Smartshunt and the BMS of my #lifepo4 battery. You can buy a device called Cerbo GX or an inverter with a Cerbo built inside, or download VenusOS and install it yourself on a raspberry. There's an app you can use in an Android device.

Feierabend – und die nächste Schicht beginnt! ⚡📦

Nach einem langen Arbeitstag könnte man meinen, ich hätte genug von Arbeit. Aber wenn ich diesen Stapel sehe, schlägt das Bastlerherz direkt schneller.

Die Victron-Infrastruktur steht bereit – das Wochenende gehört dem Systemdesign und der Montage! 🛠️☀️

Vom "Managed Work" direkt in die Energiewende im Eigenheim.

Bluetti VS Custom Power System - videos.trom.tf/w/86uzfqsAHh86C…

This is the final video about our power system. Since we use 2 completely different and independent power systems, I thought we are in an ideal position to compare the two since we always switch between them.

On one hand we have a Bluetti AC180 power unit connected to 260W of solar, on the other we have a custom built power system with 2x100Ah 12V EcoWorthy batteries, a Victron 100/50 MPPT, and a 1000W inverter - all connected to 650W of solar power.

We will compare the specs, the costs, the reliability, upgradability and repairability.

Overall it's been a huge learning experience, and we are so much more conscious of energy use at home now. I would caution that if you want something that works just like the grid without any maintenance and monitoring on your part, you might be disappointed. But if you're willing to look inside the black box of your energy use, you will learn more than you expect about the comforts we take for granted.

We cook on gas in summer & on our wood-fired range in winter (which also does rads & hot water). Might add BBQ & induction plate for summer.

We also have thermal solar panels (tubes). Unfashionable these days, but they are great, and we haven't even gotten to full summer yet. There's an immersion element in our water tank but we haven't hooked it up, so far the range and the thermal tubes have kept the water warm most of the time.
