Hit two (small to most) milestones today, 5kWh generated (Woohoo $0.85!) and my first > 1 kWh day! Hey, it's just 2 100W panels, be nice :) Fun part about not having massive battery or grid tie: hitting absorption and running around in a panic trying to find what to discharge power to so I...

...when you keep tracking your new charge controller shipment hoping it'll arrive when there's still some sunlight out and the time keeps slipping later and later.... :(

Search doesn't seem to work for me today, anyone else? I get:

Stage 1 - The Beginning of another addiction. 2x 100w EcoWorthy panels 1x PWM Charge controller Mount: Whatever I thought about leaning it on, usually small poolside tables that I turned thru the day to hit 1kWh/day, aka, manual 1 axis tracker with 1 hour resolution. Price out whole home solar...

What torque should be used for the EVE LF304 with the new dual bolt matte finish welded terminals? Am putting together a 4 cell 12v, waiting on some proper lugs for wiring the BMS so just have them at about 4nm right now for testing. I did some searching but wasn't clear what these terminals...

eBay has a SAVETWENTY code, not sure how far and wide it goes but it is applying to at least some (All?) LiFePo4 batteries... So a Redodo 24v 100ah $659.99 (Same price on Amazon) is $559.99+tax free shipping... (Max is $100 off)

Newbie here, picked up an Eco-Worthy 200W 2x100W set paired with a 50Ah LiFePo4 to learn on, quickly swapped out the PWM charge controller to Victron 100/30 and craving more power to play with. Panels will be pulled out and setup manually, not likely to be used when weather sucks so mostly 3...

I'd like to put together a handcart with a 48v 100Ah rack battery and either an EG4 3000 or MPP 3048 (Leaning towards 3048). I'd also like the possibility to use the AC-in charging to charge the battery sometimes. What if anything do I need to do in regards to grounding? I would have 4x 200W...

I recently picked up a 4A NEEY balancer and set it up... noticed the change password setting, that sounds like a good idea...punched in new (first?) password, failed. Is it possible to add a password to the NEEY 4A? I'm using the EnerKey iOS app.

So I went to move my new MPP 3048 and this 1" thin piece of plastic was rattling around inside. Not sure where it goes but maybe someone here has torn one down and can tell me? It doesn't look broken so suspect it's an insulator of some kind that pressure fits somewhere?

I'm pondering about mounting 2 full size 400-550W panels sideways on a fence that is in front of our air conditioners. I see a lot of those cheap $25-30 mounts and some are even 41" that might fit this size panel but I suspect they aren't up to the task and would need 3-4 per that size panel if...

If my 12v battery recommends 10A charging and I have a steady load of say 200W and I set my charge controller (MPPT) to charge at a max of 20A and the sun is steady, the battery won't "see" this extra current correct since it's going direct to the load? (assume I'm in float)

Has anyone used one of these? Bateria Power Super Flat Solar Cable Connector, 30Amp Balcony Photovoltaic Solar Extension Wire with Male and Female Connectors Solar Panel Adaptor for RV Solar Panels, 1 Pair (Black and Red) https://a.co/d/g3ZZZGx Where I'm thinking of setting up my panels...

What connectors do people recommend if you're going to have a large number of connect/disconnect cycles like for something mobile? Protected conductors would obviously be best... Was thinking for battery and for PV connection... For battery it'd be handy to be able to swap which battery is on...
