Does the Avalon system have the ability to monitor an AC 400 amp service? I know the Envy does not. I ran into this in one of my installs, the envy does not support paralleling CTs to monitor paralleled main feeds. And besides, you can’t, at least several months ago even monitor a single feed 400 a

It’s an interesting design. I went to a seminar on it. Wiring the main power distribution center, is a bit tricky with how they designed or not wire room. Probably want to use cobra wire.  The battery voltage design is unusual in that more batteries increases the voltage, not bad just different. We

I am looking at going high voltage as opposed to 48 volts. This is my largest battery system, I have a large distance between battery and inverter, 40 feet, the cost of wire, 50 kW, at 50 volts is 1000 amps. I am thinking this is too big for me. On Tue, May 14, 2024, 7:29 PM Mac Lewis via RE-wren

Dave, Just to play devils advocate, what are your reasons as to why high voltage isn’t worthy of OG? I say this being firmly stuck in 48VDC off-grid systems. Kindly, Chris On Tue, May 14, 2024 at 8:42 PM William Miller via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: > Dave: > > H

Hello Wrenches, I am looking closely at offering the Fortress Avalon system. I would like to hear from anyone that has installed, commissioned and seen them work in the field. Pros and cons, all of your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks! ___ List sponso
