    800 watts solar need a parallel branch connector?

    I don't know how your getting only 12.9a with 400 watts, I had a different set up 400 watts with the newpowa and renogy 200 watt and I was getting 20-25amps sometimes 28 amps peak, so that's why I'm trying to set this the way I'm doing it. Doubling that output puts me at 60 amps.

    800 watts solar need a parallel branch connector?

    Also I payed $500 for 10 bb panels I'd been shoping around for quite some time and this is what I'm going with for this build.

    800 watts solar need a parallel branch connector?

    OK so one thing I'm trying to understand with the y slit is if I'm capable of producing a full 60 amps from both panels, does the 30 amp rating apply to the total? Or is it 30 amp per branch? Also I was looking for something higher with the possibility of using these soare panels I have from...

    Yeah, I'm going to just stick with the 400. Watt panels, my question is how I'm going to parallel wire the two panels together with a proper branch connector that can handle the maximum capability 800 watts can put out. From reviews and videos I've seen of these panels. They can produce over 400...

    Looks like that combiner box is not going to be able to handle 30 to 40 amps from the 400 watt panels. Been looking at those too and it's be been challenging to find

    I've been looking on Amazon for parallel branch connectors, but none of them will work for the 800 watts, So I want to go with this bus bar To act as the parallel branch connector for my solar panels. Looks like I need something for 2 panels. Would this work?

    Am I supposed to wire the two hundred watt panels together in the series as its own string? And then run the other 400 watt panels in parallel?

    800 watts solar need a parallel branch connector?

    But all it takes is one panel in the array to effect the whole system. And what's the point which panel's i bought? 10bb 400 watt to just go series? I paid a lot for the panels. I don't care if I have to pay more for the wiring. I just need to know how to do it. Because I can't find any parts...

    800 watts solar need a parallel branch connector?

    Because I want to make sure that both panels are going to be running smoothly if I have one panel shaded at all i don't want to lose efficiency as would happen with a series wiring where one panel effects the whole array. I want the ability to produce maximum results when it's possible for my RV.

    800 watts solar need a parallel branch connector?

    I don't want to have the problem with Siri, as if there is shade on one panel would affect the whole system. I think that's the biggest motivator for going parallel.

    800 watts solar need a parallel branch connector?

    I'm confused and trying to understand what you're telling me. Because from what I understand when you wire solar panels together in series You increase the system voltage which I don't want to do I want to have a twelve voltage system with increased amp hour capacity. So what you're saying is I...

    800 watts solar need a parallel branch connector?

    I most likely will be adding more panels if they are compatible. But I'm wondering what to Dude, considering every Y or 4 branch connector is only rated for 30 amps. And I want to be able to pump 60 to 80 amps into my battery.

    800 watts solar need a parallel branch connector?

    Charge controller is renogy 100 amp it will take it, So I need to run 2 panels into a pairallel branch connector but all the connectors that I'm finding says that it's rated amps is 50a. The parallel branch connector will then go to my is a charge controller.

    800 watts solar need a parallel branch connector?

    I have two 400 watt Bouge RV solar panels for total of 800 watts, and I can't find branch connectors higher than 50 amps. Does this par5 exist or any other ways to connect to my charge controller without the branch connector?

    Lifepo4 Charging confusion

    I have fully discharged it a couple of times a while ago, but it's been a while. Might try that, It's just weird because I know it's not fully charged. The battery is sitting at 13.1 V before I turn on my engine and start the initial charge. Within like, 3 or 4 minutes, it's hitting 14.5 even at...

    I made a video, but it's like, 14 minutes long. Basically, my battery was nothing charging is at 13.1 V. I start up the engine and Set the parameters for 50 amps which it usually doesn't get that high but it is capable of it. It reaches about 30 amps, and after a couple of minutes of driving, it...

    Lifepo4 Charging confusion

    It depends when I'm driving down the road. I keep an Eye on it with the renogy app and if it's charging low when I drive I increase it. It will reach 14.5 and cut off current go into boost mode I'll make a video and upload it
