Get on PVWatts Calculator website. This site will tell you how to optimize your panels for your location. In the north no doubt the winter months will dictate solar capacity. Mine are tilted about 60 degrees from horizontal and south facing. I am seriously over paneled in the summer...

You are going to be bankrupt using electric energy for heat. Electric prices are going to go through the roof in the next 5 years.

Your electric bill should list you monthly KWh consumption. Divide by 30 to get your daily. But keep in mind your peaks will probably be double that on any given week.

I have (2) AIMS 100 Amp SSC's, I have no idea if they are accurate or not.

Yes I believe so. For a constant load the discharge curves are typically flat for some time and then yep. I assume the Powermon will records the loads so it should help.

New system 3 months old. I have 8 Renogy AGM 200 AH wired in a diagonal pattern at 24V. When the sun goes down my "battery" capacity quickly drops to 80-85% in just a matter of hours, but then will only drop maybe another 5% by morning 8 hours later. Since these are AGM and I should only...

I have totally disconnected both the PV and the battery connections to the CC. I was checking the resistance of the wiring through the conduit. This problem exists even with the PV not connected, just the battery bank. I do not have a switch from the battery bank to the CC, just an 80A...

This is my first install. So I may be doing something really stupid.

Cant figure out why my charge controller has an alarm light and will not register incoming PV voltage. 12 V Batteries are 2S 4P, with 25.9V output with my voltmeter. When I connect the battery bank to my CC I get the following on my screen. Not sure why I am getting 4V from my PV when its not...
