Clarification of the DIP Switch Settings on EG4 LiFePOWER4
The older LiFePOWER4 documentation is clearly incorrect, and even the new documentation may be unclear.

The costs of off-grid systems have come down over the years. However, solar power is still no small investment. But there are significant savings to be had by reducing our electric energy footprint. So, to put first things first, we’ll take a look at ways we can reduce electricity needs….
When connecting multiple solar panels into an off-grid energy system, there are a few wiring options: parallel, series, or a hybrid (a combination of the two).
How do we get our typical household 120 VAC current from a 12-volt battery? Let’s take a look at a simple inverted system which provides that function. Warning!!!

In order to build more familiarity with off-grid solar systems, we take a high-level overview of my home solar system.
When we rely on solar power for our off-grid system, how can we have power when the sun isn’t shining? Let’s take a look at a very basic system with a battery. This is the third episode in the Going Off-Grid series. To start at the beginning, go to Going Off-Grid…
This post was originally done as the old Higher Octave podcast. What is the simplest solar system? Let’s take a look at one. Though it will not take our entire house off-grid (heh, not even close), we can get our feet wet as we work towards understanding off-grid systems. This…
One of the most frequent questions I get is, “How do I go off-grid?” This is the first episode in a new series that will help YOU answer that question.
Since this is the 2nd time I’ve replaced this Radian board, I thought I’d video the process.
In this video I talk about the 24 ReneSola 305W JC305M-24/Ab solar panels in our arrays. On some days, these panels actually produce more than their rated 305 watts. ReneSola JC305M-24/Ab
