We bought a few of these mounts and for the price, I'm amazed. Can't wait to see their V3 (hopefully in the future). I was watching some videos on youtube and copied a setup for a temporary, portable mount solution. Then added wheels:
I was not paying attention and picked up some panels...
Looking for a digital voltage readout for a 48 volt battery pack. Was thinking that 2" or 3" LEDs would be sweet (my favorite digital clock has 3" tall LEDs). I made the rounds at amazon and did a quick search with a search engine but no luck.
Anyone know of a bright, large LED voltmeter...
Here in paradise it's the second overcast day and I'm probably going to produce 500 watts output from a 6500 watt array. What fun, eh?

There are also (2) new Midnite Classic 150 charge controllers in factory boxes that were sealed in a faraday...
On the Sol-Arc 12K system, the manual says max PV input voltage is 500 volts. It also specifies PV max input current per MPPT = 20A (self-limiting).
To simplify: If I use a single parallel MPPT string of (8) 400 watt panels each capable of ~ 10 amps, then it would follow that the input string...
Vendor tells me that there is no EMP protection available for SK48V100 SOK batteries. Is there anything to be done that will minimize risk?
Sure would appreciate any advice .....

Under (battery setup)-->(charge), the charge start was set set to 50% for grid charge. Under (Limiter), Limited power to load was checked and Time of use also checked. All 7 days were checked. Under...

Just passed the 2 megawatt generated milestone. The performance has been flawless and only a few issues/suggestions.
Concerning the design: I'm not crazy about the input terminals for the PV. I would much...
