No, it makes sense. I just want to read more about it, the 5-10% voltage thing is mentioned a lot on forums, but I'm not finding any nice articles that go into more detail. Like, a lot of the articles about mixed panels don't even mention this, which I find surprising.

I understand what you're saying, I guess I just don't understand why this is. I've been googling and reading mainly posts on this forum about parallel strings of different voltages, but nobody ever really says why. For almost every other solar theory/basic thing I've had to learn, there are a...

I get that it technically 'underperforms', but all 3 of those mixed diagrams above are at least 145 more watts of solar than I have now. I've been reading a lot about mixing panels, but nowhere did I read about smaller panels discharging into the larger one, have a link?

So I have a bus with 2 100w Renogy panels on the roof. It's not cutting it anymore. I have an extra 230w santan panel laying around doing nothing... so mocked this up, does this look correct to everyone? Also yes F Renogy, but this system already exists, so I'm using it.

I think they're run by marketing now.

Yeah, blows my mind that the Kidde CO alarm didn't go off at all either. WTF. It wasn't 100% blocked, but... 50%? If it was 100% blocked I think the heater would shut off. When it's crazy restricted I think the heat builds up, and there is pressure in there from the combustion, so maybe...

Durango, ish. Yes... honestly it's a glaring design flaw in all these diesel heaters. IF the exhaust clogs up.... it's still burning stuff, and it has heat, so hte heat builds up and causes the gaskets to fail INTERNALLY in the unit. Then the exhaust can start coming out the heat output port...

Even then, it won't work.

Agree completely, this product is junk. Spread the word. I am now actively going to crap all over this company every chance I get.

Hey guys, so... .. I'm going to link a video review of my experience with the Renogy One M1. This was a brand new product when I recorded this, was out for maybe a month, so I have no idea if they've fixed things now, but.... holy **** I have never been so unimpressed/annoyed/disappointed in...

Yup, this was the first time we were out there.... didnt' go very well. This forum, and YOUR HELP SPECIFICALLY, saved my ass. I owe you a beer. Since switching to victron everything has been flawless. F renogy.

Sharing a video I just dropped today; this was the first week of adventure living in my shortie school bus, in the rocky mountains during winter. The diesel heater tried to kill us, my batteries failed, and my solar system quit charging during 5 days of snow without any sunlight. Good times, but...

Here's a quick video I made about installing a CDH in my off grid shed.

That's kind of where I'm at right now, to be honest. I grounded my panels/brackets/roof to a ground rod in case of lightning. Interior is ungrounded, but I have been wiring all the outlets with continuous ground in case I want to ground the electrical side of the building at some point in the...

I searched but most answers are for huge residential systems. I have a solar 'shed' with 400Ah of lithium batteries, and 700 watts of solar on the roof. I wired the interior of the shed for AC, and my inverter is a Victron Phoenix 1200w with a single AC output receptacle. I'm unclear on how...
