Hiall! I have been following Will Prowse's youtube channel and website for quite a while now. I find you provide an awesome source of information to sart and get familiar with the topic of configuring a solar setup, thank you sooo much for your awesome research! About 6 months ago, I had the...

Hiall! I'm starting a design phase for my tiny house. The property is connected to the grid, but I decided to go for a solar setup. I Am looking into following functionality for my solar setup: - Solar to charge my batteries (bank of 2 LiFePO4), my electrical consumers will be 12V DC as much...

Hi naelr, thank you for your suggestion! I have indeed seen such all-in-one MPP stations and looked into their possibilities closer (Also saw Will's videos indeed). It was my go-to thinking until I found a source close by who is selling their over-stock (they quit solar and focus on other core...

Hi, I had ordered my 12V 200Ah LiFePo more than a year ago and it has been sitting unused ever since. It has a BMS built-in. Now I will be able to dedicated time soon to build my anticipated solar setup. Is it recommended to charge the battery before connecting? I only have a regular 12V car...

Hi, When building a 24V battery with 8 cells in a dedicated battery container, I'm thinking to lead all connections to the outside onto a RJ45 female connector. I would leave the BMS itself on the outside for cooling purpose. On the BMS side I'd create a dedicated RJ45 to BMS connector. That...

Fair, CAT5 or -6 are signal cables, not power cable. I will toss this idea. Still I'd like to find a solution that avoids strands of single wires.. Are there other standardized alternatives out there that could provide a clean cabling from the battery to the BMS?
