If it works with the mppt then it works with the picoverter. And it looks good too.wronger than a phone book full of wrong phone numbers

I am using it with the Nanoverter, I don't have a picoverter or a MPPT to try.There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.
Poida, Can you inbox me all the Gerber files or in easyeda files? I need to order mine too.how times flies

G'Day Guy's, Well it has been awhile since we got all these boards and on searching the forum can't find one pic of any of the finished boards.
so if any guy's have finished how about throwing up some pic's as the ol' saying goes a pic is worth a thousand words.
Cheers Bryan

So I would order 2-3 power boards and control boards(brainboards). Is it possible to order boards but shiping to go directly to my address(from China)? Pozdrav iz Srbije

minimum order is 5 boards. cost is $167 AUD including $113 AUD shipping to Serbia
Instead, if you want 3 boards, it's $11.45 AUD for both mmtp and brainboard and this cost includes shipping from China to Melbourne. This is based on an order of 20 board pairs.
Then it's like $45 AUD to send it to you.wronger than a phone book full of wrong phone numbers
then #2 is the most economical option for me.Pozdrav iz Srbije

Hi Poida, From Scotland.(UK) I have been looking at your mppt board and it looks fantastic and would help my renovation of an old stone farm house / farm to make it almost self sufficient power wise. We have power cuts now and again being out in the wild. The local power grid has been in need of a major upgrade for the past 20 years.
So please could I have 10 sets of boards.
So far I have 8kw of panels and a Sunnyboy inverter running, but with your boards I can hook up some Eve280 battery's I have waiting. Happy to pay in advance.

Hi Ric
you sure can have 10 sets of boards!
I am curious why you think 10 mppts will be needed. Each board can do 45 Amps easily. Just give it a decent oversized heatsink.wronger than a phone book full of wrong phone numbers

Hi Poida, A good question. I am hoping to increase my solar on various outbuildings which have different facing roofs so one mppt per building. Plus I am hoping to have this running for a very long time so a few spares would be good. And I am bound to blow up one. This is to be done while renovating new roofs and lime pointing... Years of fun ahead.

I completely understand now. I wondered "maybe a few different arrays.. that would need a few boards"
I order them today. The order will be 25 sets, a brainboard and a mppt board as a set.
You want 10 KeepIS wants 5 Rev 2 Ziki 3
this leaves 5 spare for latecomers.wronger than a phone book full of wrong phone numbers
