Running clothes dryer on my LV 5048 MPP solar inverter.

Testing the LV 5048 inverter using clothes dryer and microwave at the same time with Nissan leaf batteries.

I'm about to do the exact same setup, just waiting on the inverter. Already have the panels and battery ready to go.

This is totally rad.

Nice job! I am buying that same inverter. I appreciate all this great info!

Your videos are very inspiring! Thank you for being a pioneer for this equipment and generating your own power.

Man, I wish I am able to have lower load on whole house. Very nice.

[edwinkania]

As long as it runs that is a very capable inverter.

Nice video. I purchased the PIP2724LV-MR for off grid use at a remote property. However I'm considering this model for the property instead to run my RV and lights around the property and using the 24V to power my enclosed trailer.

Every inverter made has limits and it's nice to know them for easy operation surge is the killer on all machines and created from electric motors mostly, resistance load are big but have little surge.

Thanks for the update... hope you get a chance to slow down soon

Hahahahaha you had me cracking up when you said 38 light bulbs. I started counting my lights and was only like 20

Mr Carson. Thank You for all the good info. I just hooked up a new LV5048 MPP unit, it only shows my Batteries at 52 volts. but cant get the watts reading??? Please help

[manuelsiliezar]

odd. Dryers usually 2000 to 3000 watts. what kind of dryer do you have and microwave.?

[JustRockRC]

Very nice system brotha, you basically confirmed to me that a 5kw system will be ample for my house. Now running the havc I will probably need an extra unit running in parallel to this one. How much leaf batteries are you using ?

Hi, great video. I am using LV6048 and 4 Tesla batteries. Got all setup a few days ago. For some reason when I connect RIGID circular saw (7.5"blade, 120v 1500w), it trips the breaker. The same works fine when I use it on the generator outlet. Do you know what causes the breaker trip? I haven't observed this with my other tools. Thanks.

[manuelsiliezar]

How many panels you running and whats the total watts from panels?

[popeyed]

I have LV5048 I was able to run two 1875 watts hair dryers, I tried three 1875 Watts hair dryers (5605 watts total) the unit beep beep beep continuously, I got twelve 104 amp hours batteries connected in series of 48 volts, with I thought I connected PG&E backup should allows me to run overload up to 80 amps as you mentioned, what settings do I need to change? Thanks!

How can I get the utility led off of the screen because I am using solar panels and generator for power and it is still on the screen. Or could you tell me what it means.

Hi, I'm looking for one of these solar inverters for a van conversion. I have 2 solar panels with this spec - Watt: 310Wp, Max Snow Load: 5400Pa, 112lb/ft2, Max Voltage Vmp: 32.67V, Max Current Imp: 9.49A, Number of cells: 60, Open Circuit Volts: 40.08V, Short Circuit Amps: 9.28A, Module Efficiency: 19.00%, Max System Volts: 1000VDC, Power Tolerance: 0 - 3%, Max Series Fuse: 15A. What's the best inverter and battery setup to go with for two of these solar panels? Any help would be hugely appreciated.

[LeeHill]

Very helpful! Thanks
Do you have electric water heater?

[tayfu]

Have problems with the unit switching over to from grid to solar to charge battery any ideals

[teekay]

Just curious : What kind of dryer do you have that only uses about 900 watts or did I mismatch? I am considering getting a heat pump dryer soon that should actually draw less than that but stay on longer also.
