Hello again all. I just wanted to give you guys an update. I did chance my controller to a larger one, sold the 24v inverter and got a 12v with 1200w. I am happy to say that it now works perfectly. I do wish I would have read more into it before buying anything but I guess that's the price to...
Thank you very much to all those who have responded and again I apologize for my ignorance. I didn't know anything about anything when it comes to setting this up and all your help is greatly appreciated. I will try selling the 24v inverter and get me a 12v.
Thank you so much guys for all the feedback. So after reviewing all the threads on here, the culprit was the controller. The settings were off. I changed the volts to 24 and the battery setting to lithium and the flashing on the controller went away. Now the indicator is showing low charge on...
I wasn't sure of the polarity because the manual says if 2 or more batteries are used you must jump from battery 1 negative to battery 2 positive so I connected the renogy to only the 1st battery
To give you guys a better idea of what I have and how to proceed...this is what I currently have installed:
1 solar panel
Maximum Voltage
12 Volts
Maximum Power
200 Watts
Renogy controller
Rated Charge Current: 10A
2 50aH batteries
What would be the best thing to do at this point? Get...
These are the specs on my inverter:
Input: 24VDC Output: 110V-120VAC Frequency: 60Hz
DC input range: 21V-30V
Low Voltage Alarm : 20.5V±1VDC
Low Voltage Shut Down: 19.5V±1VDC
Over Load: shut off, recover manually
Over Voltage Shut Down :30.5V±0.5VDC
Socket:15A USA type
No Load Current...
I have not added a second panel as of yet but have ordered it along with a new higher watt controller. Both batteries had a full charge. I am going to see how much the zapper pulls for your advice
So I hooked it up as shown and the inverter is kicking into shutdown mode for some unknown reason. I am going to get the 12v inverter and go from there. The controller is giving an overcharging error now that I've switched it to 12v. UGH!!
