I currently have 6 250 watt panels wired 3 in series and then 2 in Parallel. I want to add 2 panels and I was thinking to rewire for 4 in series and 2 parallel. At 9 amps and 30 volts per panel I am thinking my 150V/60A Renogy charge controller could handle the 120 volts 18 amps. Input please...

I just switched my battery bank from Lead acid 12 volt to LA 48 volt However my Renogy Rover 60 Amp Charge Controller will not let me reset the charging Parameters for a 48 volt bank. Even though I have switched the Controller to 48 volts and also "Auto" Can anyone help with this? Thanks

I have looked everywhere but can’t find the wire specs for this unit Does anyone have the information?

I like what I read about the Growatt 12K all in one but would like to hear from people who are using one

Can I connect a separately charged lead battery bank and a separately charged Lithium battery bank to one inverter?

I am looking for some help in wiring my Growatt 12K all in one I am a little confused at how to wire my main panel AC to my Growatt. Isn it two breakers one on each pole? or one 2 pole that hits both poles. Sorry if I sound confusing, I am

I currently have twelve 12 volt 100ah lead acid battery bank (1200AH). I want to wire 4 batteries together for 48 volts making three 4 battery packs @48v then wire them in parallel. All my wiring for batteries is 2/0 gauge and my CC is 60amp Renogy MPPT. I am replacing my 12V inverter with 48V...

I have been looking at raw cells versus buying a chin 200AH battery. It seems that the cost is less to buy a chin than to buy cells. What is the benefit of building my own batteries?

Can I connect one inverter to two seperate battery banks that are independent from one another? One bank is 1200ah of lead acid and the other is 600ah Iron Phosphate each with their own CC

I have 9 12 volt 100Ah Lead Acid Marine deep cycle Batteries. a 5000 watt Pure Sine Inverter The AC will not start. The inside unit works but the outside (compressor) will not start. I thought I had plenty of power What's up? It works fine on Grid power

I am attaching the panel info I have 6 panels and need to connect them to get max amps for charging 600ah lifepo batteries. My system equipment is 12 volt and my batteries are 100 feet from my panels with 10 gauge solar wire connecting them Currently have them connected to produce approximately...

I just realized that battery connections, AH and MCA make a difference in my bank I have 6 29DC, 875 MCA 100AH Batteries and 1 27DC at 95AH 800 MCA and 1 battery at 750 MCA My 3000 watt inverter kept shutting down with 2 refridgeraters connected which made no sense since my battery bank is at...

What are the best parameters to set my CC to? I have 8 100ah Lead Deep cycle batteries

I am assuming I can connect a 3000 watt and a 5000 watt inverters to the bank separately. If I am correct is it best to connect them to a distribution block or to the batteries in two different locations on the bank?

I am about to throw this inverter in the trash. I bought this 3000 watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter to run my stand up freezer and it does great for the first 12 to 14 hours and it also seems fine during the day as long as the solar panels are producing. After that the red light comes on with a...

I have two solar panel arrays with two charge controllers. One is 40 amp and one is 60 amp both connected to the battery bank thru a buss bar. The 40 amp CC reads the battery % at one level and the 60 amp reads it at 100% always. When the 60 amp was alone it would read the percentage of the...

I have two 3 panels in series producing 90 to 95 volts and 12 amps each but when I put them together in parallel the amps stay the same Why?

I would like to hear the pros and cons from everyone

Is there any real Wifi systems (real meaning using the internet and not be limited to 150 feet of distance) out there that I don't need to be an IT expert to use?

I have 3 solar panels When I connect two of the panels in a series I get a certain reading from my MPPT CC When I add a third panel in Parallel it cuts my readings in half I thought I understood this but now I am very confused Please help Thanks

After dealing with my battery bank not being balanced I reconnected the wires with the help from this forum and per the wiring manual posted here. I chose the method of connecting the positive line to the first battery and the negative to the last battery in the bank. I connected my inverter on...

I have a question that may sound crazy but here it goes. If one 100AH battery (Lead) can run a refrigerator for 12 hours (1/2 of the day) will 12 batteries run it for 6 days?

1200 watt solar panels, 12 volt, wired parallel need to run 100 feet to batteries. What would be the wire size and would it benefit me to wire in series? Thanks

If I connect my cold water line from the water heater and run it thru a thermal panel and then back into the water heater directly and allow that to circulate will that work to pre heat my water before it goes into the water heater?

What do I use to check how many amps my system is producing so I can be sure to have the correct controller

I have 1200 watts of solar connected to my controller then to my batteries and lastly the inverter. Instead of using extension cords I want to connect directly to my electrical panel. My simple thought is that I can install a dedicated breaker in the panel to attach the inverter to. When I need...
