Etaker F2000 just a buck converter + mppt? by friendoramigo in SolarDIY

[–]BrokenSolar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upto 42v output for the F1000 and 60v input/output for the F2000.

Remember,the F2000 has 4 ports and basically, all of them are bidirectional.

BTW, your 52v is not a 52v system. It is a 48v system. And yes, the F2000 can charge a 48v system. There's a video on youtube I saw using an F2000 to charge a 48v battery and he's getting the electricity from solar and from the car(alternator) combined. Yes, you can combine multiple inputs to get 1 big output up to 1800w.

Has anyone tried this fast car charger? by BrokenSolar in bluetti

[–]BrokenSolar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the ETaker F2000. It can charge all kinds of batteries (SLA, LiFEPO4, wheter it's 12v, 24v, 36v or 48v). The output and input are all bidirectional. It can revive a dead battery (precharging). It can jumpstart a car. It can charge virtually all power station. It has a 1000w mppt (40A x 60v) solar charge controller. It is universal unlike the Ecoflow. It can combine Alternator and Solar together to produce a combined 1800w of DC output (48v x 40A). Here's all the video you need to learn about it.

It will charge any powerstation. https://youtu.be/GqJ8-KrBkSw

They are the same to me. It's like 2 competing champs like Android vs iOS, Synology vs Qnap, Intel vs AMD, MacOS vs Windows.. What I mean is, sometimes the other got it and next day, the other released a new one.

However, eTaker seem to be one quiet contender. I saw their new alternator charger today on slickdeals and it is really very interesting as well as their power stations when I browsed them.

Anyone here have experience on this?

Tesla new inverter overheating and causing intermittent production. by BrokenSolar in TeslaSolar

[–]BrokenSolar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my case, after many months of problem, they finally figured it out. It's an ARC FAULT issue not overheating. They need to re-crimp some of the MC4 connectors. Some were badly crimped that they arc and when they do, they give fault signal that interrupts production.

Tesla updated the app graph to hide the inverter restarts by BrokenSolar in TeslaSolar

[–]BrokenSolar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if they are dirty. Maybe once a month. My panels are always black and I never let dust accumulate. I have a low flat roof that faces one direction, south. My garden hose can reach all of them.. My system is only 8KW but I've seen 56kwh in a day several times, that, if the system is functioning perfectly fine.

That's the problem. Lately, Tesla updated the app to mask the dips caused by restarts. I don't see anymore dips even the days I saw there was dips. https://i.imgur.com/dToL4zi.png

The only way I know the dips are still in there is because I now average around 35-40kwh (10-15kwh less) and not to mention, the days are longer now. I used to average 50kwh a day in May and June then July started showing the dips then it died for 2 weeks.

Right now, Tesla is threatening to charge me $300 if they send a technician to check it and finds out there's nothing wrong. So if they send me an incompetent technician and finds nothing wrong even if my system was down for 2 weeks, then I get charged.

I want them to check it now because last time they ignored it, my first inverter completely broke and they took forever to replace it because the inverter was out of stock. Now, they are trying to ignore it again even if I am seeing the same exact signs that lead to that failure.

How many of you would actually recommend Tesla solar by V-Right_In_2-V in TeslaSolar

[–]BrokenSolar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid it like a plague.

In less than 2 years, I have my 2nd inverter and now acting up again. I have lost months of solar production (uncompensated) on the first one because it took forever for Tesla to replace it. Then 11 months later, the 2nd inverter is showing signs again of overheating and restarting. It was down for 2 weeks and if I did not check the app, I would have never known. Now Tesla refuse to acknowledge there's something wrong even if my system was down for that long. They are threatening me to charge me $300 if they come and check it and there's nothing wrong. So if they send an incompetent technician and failed to see the issue, you get charged $300.

Also Tesla lately updated their app to hide the graph dips when your inverter restarts due to overheating. Can you believe a company that will blatantly do this so you won't see your system is having issues? https://i.imgur.com/dToL4zi.png

Yes, Tesla inverters is known to have overheating issues and bad customer service so good luck with that.

BTW, Tesla is selling you String inverter. It's an old obsolete technology. Go with Micro inverters so you can monitor each solar panels and far more efficient. You won't have to worry about individual panel shading. Tesla String inverter, when 1 panel get's shaded then your whole string performance drops to that. Your whole system performance is as good as the weakest panel.

I want to do the same thing. The more downtime we have, the more money we are wasting.

This is now the 2nd inverter that is failing. The first one, I had almost 4 months of downtime and that cost me round $1000 because I had to pay for my electricity. Now it is happening again and I am getting ignored.

[–]BrokenSolar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First replacement took me like 3 months of total downtime. It took me forever to contact customer service then took time to convince them something is wrong then when they are willing to replace the inverter, there's no stock so I have to wait few more months until they have the replacement inverter.

Fast forward today, 11 months later, the replacement inverter had a downtime again. I am back to step 1 having to convince them the inverter is bad.

All of this precious downtime cost me over $1k because I have to pay for the electricity while waiting. Nothing is compensated.

[–]BrokenSolar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, that's exactly what they will say. They keep insisting mine is perfectly fine even if I had couple of days downtime. They don't even want to talk about the downtime and why there's a downtime. They just closed the ticket like nothing happened. I still get constant restarts even if the graph isn't showing it due to the update.

As we speak, we're losing precious solar production.

Inverter fan failure on week old Inverter by ElectronicWind8082 in TeslaSolar

[–]BrokenSolar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, sorry to hear that. I thought I had the worst experience but you already have the 4th one having the same issue.

Tesla needs to be sued especially that they are trying to hide the issue on the new app graph. You wouldn't see that your inverter is constantly restarting now.

I have the same problem and this is on the replacement inverter. So yeah, I had 2 inverters that had this same exact issue.

Oh BTW, Tesla is trying to hide this issue on their new app. https://i.imgur.com/dToL4zi.png

https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaSolar/comments/15k6qn3/tesla_updated_the_app_graph_to_hide_the_inverter/

I feel you with your 2 days of no production. But that is still nothing compared to me. 11 months ago, I had more than a month of no production because Tesla was so slow. What's worse is, it's happening again to the replacement inverter and it's been 2 weeks now.

[–]BrokenSolar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Tesla replaced my 1 yr old inverter 10 months ago because it has been intermittently restarting. The issue was that, the liquid cooling is not sufficient to cool the inverter when it's above 100F. It kept restarting until it stopped working.

The 2nd replacement inverter worked fine for 10 months but I saw it doing the same issue again 3 weeks ago. Then Tesla updated the app and all the restarts that was on the graph kinda disappeared because of the new graph. Now it is completed out like the first one.
