I AM SO DAMN EXCITED THAT I CAN'T CONTROL MYSELF. Finally got my Solar System tied into the house wiring. AND IT IS WORKING!! After 9 months of scraping money to buy parts and testing for all kinds of conditions. I finally tied my system into the house. Now I have power from the MTTP Solar...

Here is a good article that "us" newbies to read with respect to our solar panel spec sheets. It covers all those numbers you see like, VOC or ISC, and many others. I was surprised by what I didn't know...

We all know that if you do not put at least a 50-ohm resistor between the controller input and the positive side of your battery, for a moment, you will get a big spark and scare you to death. The resistor prevents that initial spark from the capacitor in the controller/inverter from discharging...

I was just notified last night that some scammer is trying to scam our group using my name. This is not me and I would never try to same this group or any other group. I don't know what we can do about these scammers, but just live with it I guess.

Is anyone using the Growatt 5000W Solar Hybrid Inverter 230Vac, All-in-One Pure Sine Wave Inverter with 100A MPPT Controller? If so do you have a PDF for that I can have a copy of or a link to where I can get it? The best I can tell, it only takes 220vac for a Utility connection and will only...

First please excuse me if I lose you as everyone knows how bad engineers can screw up a document written by them. Next, note that I added a pdf below in case the article is too long to read in the forum. Background – My (6) 300W Solar panels are to be mounted on top of my covered carport roof...

No one seems to talk about the TP6048 in this group. This TP6048 is an 6000W 48V Hybrid Solar Inverter Grid Tie Inverter for Solar Panel Split Phase 120/240VAC (Grid Feedback & Batteryless) - from SunGoldPower Anyway, I ordered it this past Monday and on Saturday it was at my doorsteps. It was...

I have the all-in-one MTTP 2424LV-PIP controller/inverter. For the last few months with the unit sitting on my workbench while I play with it, I have had the Battery Type (option #5) set to User and set my own parameters in options #26, #27, and #29. However, my junk batteries finally dead after...

Dang, the good news is that I got my PIP 2424LV-MSD Solar Converter yesterday from Taipei Taiwan. I was surprised that I received it in 5 days. It was scheduled to be delivered around the end of July. The bad news is when I bought it you could not find one anywhere. I was put on their waiting...

I’m keeping my eye open for solar panels. So I’m getting updates from eBay, Amazon, Yahoo on solar panels. But they all will not tell you the Operating voltage (Voc). They only give you the wattage and number of cells in the panel. Is there a formula you use to calculate the Voc when you just...

The term "floating charging voltage" is new to me although I have an idea of what it is but what to know for sure. So what exactly is "floating charging voltage" (assuming with respect to charge controllers - I have a MPP 2424LV) and what is a good rule of them for the seeings. I see in my MPP...

USER’S MANUAL Needed some programing help with the MPP (PIP-2424LV-MSD) controller/inverter. I need to change some of the programming options in my controller and I’m not able to change any values. Here is what the manual says to do: LCD Setting After pressing and holding the ENTER button...

I have the PIP-2424LV-MSD by MPP all-in-one controller/inverter and for the last couple of months on my test bench, it has been running flawlessly while doing different testing on it and running a floor fan at 220 watts as a load. Yesterday, I wanted to connect and test the system with a solar...

this seems to be the best location for the conversation. show and till says you need to post pictures. I’m a little puzzled – controller/inverter shutdown. Issue: This morning at 4:07 AM, my MTTP PIP-2424lv-mds all-in-one controller/inverter shut down. The house was being powered by the...

the main issue is that (and it just could be my Ampere Time 24V 100Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate battery didn't last long) is that when the battery kicked in it would drop to 24.5 vdc then within minutes drop to 24.0 volts. At 24Vdc my 2424 would have a discharge current of l22 amp. At 22 amps, the...

I picked up 6 Talesun Solar panels yesterday (VOC-38.7 ISC-9.17 41lb 65”x39”x1.75”) for $120 cash (hence, no taxes, no shipping). I live 20 miles from the guy, so I picked them up in person. – wore my mask of course! If you live in the S.F. bay area (he lives in Concord) he still has around 10...

Well, I am getting there with my Solar Project for the house? The system excepts 110vac from either the utility company or Gas generator. Or from the solar/battery combination. At this moment in time, the Utility will be set up as primary with the battery and Solar as a backup. – money issues...

I have the TP6048 controller from SunGoldPower and am getting ready to connect the battery. Do I have to discharge some capacitor inside the controller with a 50-ohm resister before connecting the battery was with so many other controllers?

I have got a question or puzzle if you will. I bought two 12v 220ah AGM (lead-acid) batteries yesterday because I am a poor boy and can’t afford to go Lithium at this time. – The batteries are connected in series for 24v My 2424lv (MTTP controller/inverter) option 29 (low voltage cutoff) is set...

I've begun to test my MPP controller 2424LV. Quick Note - Although the MPP manual and the MPP tech support say I don't need to but a resister between the controller battery input terminal and the negative side (I don't think it makes a difference which side) to protect a BMS capacitor before...

For 6 months my 2424lv controller/inverter while in my workshop run falsely while connected to the Utility, Batteries, and solar. So, this week it was time to move and mount the solar panels on the roof of my house and move the controller/inverter to its new location, and preparing to connect to...

While looking on Amazon at the various all-in-one solar converters like the Pip MPP 2424 LV and others, I notice there are two types, One is referred to as a Hybrid, and the other type the work Hybrid is not mentioned. Does the Hybrid type mean that the controller can supply energy back into...

A Brian thought voyage on solar vs battery with respect to cost. For the moment I was going to install and use my Solar system - pip-2424lv-mds controller/inverter – and 2 Lithium batteries to confront these darn California rolling blackouts and local blackouts with 6 homes on one 100 amp...

Did my first real battery discharge test. the purpose was to see what battery current is needed to run a floor fan at 118v, 2.4a @285w The batteries were two 12v 35ah lead-acid batteries that I found in a dump battery bin. Other parts of the test were to see how the LED MPP 2424LV-MDS controller...

I have the PIP 2424LV-MSD controller/inverter. The manual says it can handle up to 3kw and can power all kinds of appliances at home including motor-type appliances such as tube lights, fans, refrigerators, and air conditioners. My house on the average runs on 400 watts and 2172 watts if I also...

I don't see a thread on Solar panel heat so will has my question. I've started testing my Solar panels output with respect to their temperature as measured with a temperature handheld gun. Today, for example, the outside temperature in the sun is 70 F degrees, but the panels which are parallel...

I bought the MPP PIP-2424LV-MSD charger/inverter the other day. But looking at my wiring diagram, I notice I may have a problem if I don't isolate the 220 vac air conditionar from the 110 vac house load through the breaker box. Note that I am leaving some details out for simplicity. Coming...

Does anyone know if only the Unitiliy power can be connected to the All-on-one inverter/controller and it set to the default setting as on the grid first without setting off alarms? I want to connect the Utility power and a gas ac 120-volt generator (which I've been using) to a switch. Then...

I’ve just about got my solar system build and setting on my workbench. Now, at the moment, my MPP PIP-2424LV-MDS controller/inverter will be used as a backup to the Utility (power company) source. Once the system is installed on the house, next to the circuit breaker box, I will have the option...

Does anyone know the size of the circuit breaker that is in the PIP - 2424LV-MSD 3KVA controller/inverter by MPP? It shows (and the manual does elaborate) that the AC output to the load is 3000 VA. Or assuming 120 volts MPPT the current is 3000/120 = 25 amps. So, the breaker should be 25 or 30...
