Tks.

Update: I returned this DC-DC charger. I wasn't sure if it would damage my alternator... Problem solved, at least, this problem :)

LOL. Actually, my backup system is as simple as what you are describing: One inverter and my gas gen. LOL It's a small system with no fuse (but the fuse already on my batteries) and no breaker. But that's just a basic system just in case. But my bigger system is a bit more complex though.

Let's not talk about boats either... I've looked at boats before. That is another big money pit! If you have that kind of money, good for you. But for me, and for many other people, we don't. If you had a 30 + ft boat, would you prefere to install an ''All In One system'' on it, or put a...

At the end, it is all a personal choice. But I just wanted to be sure that newbies would go through the pros and before making the jump. And for many people, the solar choice is NOT JUST A HOBBY. This is a calculated choice. I just wanted to tell them that, very often, BE HONEST GUYS, it can...

It's like you put in words exactly what I couldn't. With all the help you can get here, you will never beat a big company!! Exactly. Also, I want to be clear: I also keep a gas generator and a smaller inverter ready just in case my ''All In One system'' fails.. :)

I apologyze guys, I never wanted to offend anybody here. But you and I are both right. YOU: What I really meant was that if someone is willing to put the hours (and I mean MANY MANY hours) to build a very complex system, and have a passion and a real desire to build it PROPERLY a good system...

After investing (I should say ''wasting'') so much time trying to understand all the small details, and adding all the cost of a very complex system like this (Victron, Renogy, .. I mean inverter, solar controler, size of the wires and fuses, breakers, etc.etc...), I decided that I will send the...

No no no. It's not ''625 watts'', it is ''675 watts'' ... LOL

I checked Victron that you recommanded it to me. I chose a different model though (see the link below), which is a bit better with what I need, I think. Thank you very much for your help, cause I was lost... in all these small details. Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT Contrôleur de charge...

What does the 750 number mean? If that is the total wattage of my pannels, that number should be 675. If I undertood it right, 3 x225watts= 675w. I'm already lost with all these numbers. Don't get me more mixed up than I already am with all these numbers.. LOL!! I was thinking of hooking...

Hi everybody. I'm looking for a good solar controler. I just bought 2 batteries (Power Queen Mini Premium 100 amps. My 3 solar pannels (225w each) are 24volts with Voc 36.7 and Short Circuit Current of 8.19 amps for each pannel. So, what would be a good choice for a solar controler for the...
