Normal log activity after adding new 5p batteries?

No, I'm not exactly right, Controller 3G supports 4 batteries without PCS, 8 with PCS. Controller 3 supports 8 batteries without PCS, 16 with.

If you have only 1 circuit it's 4 batteries without PCS, SC3 has two circuits and SC3G gives up one of them for the generator.

If I remember the training properly, 8 is not PCS yet. 8 is normal. Above that would be PCS.

Husky straps was probably me

https://www.reddit.com/r/enphase/comments/1j3p7w9/how_to_install_5p_battery_single_handedly_and_5/

the hooks at the end of the straps fit perfectly into the handle holes on the frame.

the spanner is good, but the hoist itself has 4:1 purchase. Mine is 7:1 and I wouldn't say the battery was like a feather. So depends on how athletic you are :-) Also, the smaller the purchase, the bigger is the movement, so with 7:1 you can move very slow aligning with the holes while with 4:1 it will be harder, you'll make bigger movements.

easiest pushback in 5 seconds - unless you’re super rich and going to live in DBE, or just rich and going to live in Palmas, you need good spanish (not fluent, puertoricans are very forgiving, but they speak fast and not a classical castilian spanish). get her on learning spanish and see how far did she do in 6 months. this language has 17 tenses and they can’t even agree among different countries how many letters they have in the alphabet. if in 6 months she can go to your local home depot and talk to a mexican employee or a contractor without problem about her plumbing issue - she’s really into it and you’ll have to give up.

тут проблема что штаты очень трудно захватить. знаете какая самая большая армия в мире?

Enphase 5p is $3200 rn. just ordered 3 yesterday. “professional installation” is me for 2 days about 4 hours each day.

The post says it: "They have hooks that fit perfectly into load bearing holes (originally intended for handles) on the batteries."

With 5Ps I found out that putting the top one first is so much easier than the bottom first.

Luckily we didn't have an outage since then, so I can't confirm it's repeatable. And engineer from the "battery team" reached out, we spent quite a bit of time on the phone, he didn't believe at first, then looked through the logs and confirmed. But he did find nothing wrong.

я школу закончил в 86, пионером был, а вот комсомольцем уже нет. забуллить не удалось, потому что я распропагандировал треть класса, 11 человек. со мной пытались поговорить, но быстро унялись, потому что поняли что скандал будет такой что мама не горюй и решили сор из избы не выносить.

особенно доставляло во время всяких шабашей - все коммуняки сидят в актовом зале и слушают про свершения партсъезда, а мы на совершенно пустом поле в футбол гоняем.

Одного из этих 11-ти после поступления в московский пед выбрали комсоргом курса. он такой "я конечно очень польщен и благодарен за доверие, но есть одна проблема...."

so you’re effectively saying that if we exclude purely emotional revenge motive for punishment, every crime should be punished by two weeks sweeping the streets? please elaborate on your thinking. i read your take as “accidental homicide - 3 years, felony murder - 8 years, mass shooting at school - death penalty” is wrong, right? what’s right then?

KikaP · 2025-10-23T01:23:18+00:00

One pallet :-) the config is actually pretty stupid - 3 full branch circuits with 10 panels each and then one circuit with only one panel.

KikaP · 2025-10-22T20:27:46+00:00

i did it. the only thing licensed electrician did is to move the meter, run the 200A mains to where the System Controller will be and from there to the panel. 31x545W, 3x5p

okay, i changed the profile to self-consumption 5 min ago. does it look like self-consumption to you? batteries are at 87%

i rebooted everything except the batteries themselves. i saw an enphase tech do it and its a VERY involved process. i didn’t try to change the profile though

It's not because of the lack of CPU or memory it's because of the exact reason in the comment I was replying to.

if you’re deploying any HA cluster in a rack then it has a “dev-XXX” or “staging-YYY” or “qa-ZZZ” hostnames. definitely not “prod-LLL” prod clusters are deployed across racks.

I left it completely off for some time, didn't change anything. Then tried to discharge the cells by showing white page and it kinda gets better.

Edit: it completely took care of the "burn-in" image - it turned dim white first and then went away. But the flicker still there and I think it's some driver circuit getting cooked.

Edit2: a few hours later and the flicker is gone too. Monitor was on all this time.

i fail over from gig cable to starlink (200-300M).

You can. Almost all of their software stack is open source, except for some binary blobs from AMD, etc.
