    Power problems

    I wired my 12 panels 3S4P but my all in one Growatt still does not register any PV watts. I have the correct MC4 connections and a 20 ft wire to my Growatt. Is there a way I can test my wires to make sure they are functional? Did incorrectly place the panels on my roof?

    Step Down for 48v System

    My attention to detail was lacking when I watched Wills video about installing a 48v solar array. Everything is in place except I noticed that my 48v step down to 12v converter is rated for 240 watts. If I run my dehumidifier (which occasionally uses uses over 400 watts) will my converter...

    Watts Average

    I am sorry if this question has been answered before but maybe someone can answer or point me in the right direction. If I have a 100 watt solar panel getting direct sun light for an hour is it safe to say about 100 watts will be generated more or less?

    Solar Panels For Mid Atlantic

    Can anyone recommend the best solar panels to install on a residential roof in the mid Atlantic? Will seems to indicate that most the panels are pretty much the same but the pros in my area seem to install the dark black/blue panels..might be Canadian solar panels.

    Fridge Electric Use

    My refrigerator is a high efficiency fridge. That being said I am trying to determine its average energy use. The notes in side the fridge doesn’t list it’s electric use. It does list info about amps and bolts and when I multiply the amp x volts I get 600 watts. When I use a killawat...
