    No, that's more like what I expected to get after watching/reading the information provided by Will.

    The top photo is the bottom end of the box, the lower photo is looking down into where the various wires are secured. Hope this helps!

    Is MPP Solar LV 3KVA-24V compatible with lithium ion batteries?

    Slightly off topic, but where did you source the bootlace ferrules for the ends of the battery cables?

    Wrong item?

    After watching Will's videos and reading his discussion of the MPP all-in-one systems I clicked the link to purchase a PIP-2424LV-MSD Solar Inverter (MPP USA 24V 2.4 kW PIP). I also purchased all of the recommended Windy Nation cables through Amazon, so assumed that when I got ready to build my...

    Good to hear you got through this unharmed! I sure do feel sorry for all who didn't!

    For what it's worth, as of tonight I still haven't heard from them, although my credit card was charged on 11/12, so I canceled my order and notified them. I've since ordered a similar item from another vendor. Hope this helps someone going forward.

    Has anyone had issues with this supplier? I ordered their 1 to 4 MC4 Y Branch Connectors on 11/12, was informed the same day that my order was on the way, but haven't heard anything since. Is this normal or should I reorder somewhere else? Thanks!

    Power outage emergency backup

    Need to know: If I have multibranch connectors designed to connect 4 solar panels to provide power to my Kodiak generator, but for whatever reason need to use only two panels, am I going to have a problem? Thanks in advance...
