Re: Earthing and N-E bonding
Thank you Tony, that is interesting. There are two similar diagrams in the AIO installation guide, one as you post showing permanent N-E bonding in the distribution box and the other showing no N-E link at all. (The distribution box is probably the EPS box shown in a preceding diagram. This seems to ...

Re: Foxcube batteries discharging beyond minimum SoC
I have cube batteries in the utility room, the temperature around the batteries is around 13 deg.C on cold-ish days and nights, so similar to yours.

Earthing and N-E bonding
This subject has been mentioned in other topics but has got submerged in other discussions, so I've begun this new thread. When operating as an EPS in island mode, typically to supply the whole house in the event of grid failure, there needs to be an effective earth and a Neutral-Earth bond. The ...

Hello from Northumberland
Our system was installed in late October and I've been lurking on this forum since I found it. Hats off to Will and all the contributors who have provided so much useful information and support. Generally we are pleased with the system's performance. We were not expecting too much in the winter ...
