So, here is the final installation of the third battery bank and with that, battery 2.0 is complete! I can't believe we have the PowerWall and Battery 2.0 operational. There are still some final touches necessary but technically, it is working now as designed.
While installing the last 16s battery I discovered a damaged cell! I messaged Qishou and received outstanding service. And, this is not only for my but it is their shipping and service guarantee for all their customers! How great is this company?!

I had a problem with a battery from Bioenno. There was no output from the main connector. They shipped me a brand new battery and did not even want the faulty one back. I opened up the faulty pack and found that the ground wire for the main output had come unsoldered from the BMS. I repaired it and notified Bioenno. They thanked me for the trouble shooting and said just keep the battery. I got a twofer. It is great to hear that your supplier is so consumer oriented.

Awesome. 44kwh system. "The Monster" its been a very informative journey for the build and delving into the specs beyond the usual capacity test has been my hook to your channel. And also highlighting good suppliers for lfp and solar in general. All thumbs up and you more than deserve the chilled Spat. Can't wait for the panels upgrade. Would having you panel array be split between specific panel brands? I think this would give us, your rowdy subscribers the chance to get the new generation panels reviewed by you. Thank you for coping with all our questions and querries

Thank you. I will probably use used solar panels again. Many people down here are upgrading their system and sell the old solar panels, inverters and rails for very little money. That's what I have been doing so far and the panels still output their maximum power despite being 5-10 years old. I'll definitely look into new panels as well and se if it is worth buying new.

We put 500 watts at 48 volts of solar panels on the roof, and a 200 amp hour 48 volt house bank (8, 12 volt, 100 ah Global Power LiFePo4 batteries in series parallel) with a TriStar 60 amp charge controller and a Victron Quatro 5000 watt inverter/150 amp charger. It runs the Mini-Split A/C for 8 hours.

The system is well designed and done by you Andy with the thankful help of us You Tubers . It seems to be running 🏃‍♀️ well and with a few tweaks , it’ll be about 100 % in operation . All you need is to maybe change the smaller capatible inverter for the exact same bigger inverter on the left and it will be at or over 100% operation. May the solar be with you .

What a great end to a great project, congratulations Andy on the milestone! Was just wondering what your cost breakdown is from start to finish, maybe in a future video?

Thanks a lot, but we're not finished. Maybe with the shelf for now but there is still more to come... Cost breakdown is difficult. Many tools I bought and lot's of material which I have not used all of it yet. I would say around A$15-17k so far...

first time here, good video! I was saying on other channel that my dream LFP server rack or DIY setup would be something like this. easily add or remove cells connected to multiple bus bars, depending on voltage.

Hey, welcome to the channel. It works really well. Especially I can now turn off single banks without having to shut down the whole system. I'm really happy with it so far... came a long way until it was built.

That is a great build. That is a lot of power 44kw. You can donate to me your old battery in the bin, it would come in very handy with the current power cuts in South Africa 🇿🇦, we go for 6hrs without power every day. If I had that battery, I would be off grid.
