I watched a video on utube last night where they are using bifocal panels mounted on a 90 degree angle and in a east to west orientation. They are claiming about a 20% increase in production. They think it is because of the cooling factor of the angle. Any thought's on this? Greg

I saw on the news this morning that a hail storm in Demon Tx. last night wiped out a huge solar farm with thousands of panels destroyed. Might want to order before the price goes up as they are going to have to replace these. Greg

Hi I have 10 265 watt panels with 37.9 volts voc and 9.22 amp's I just received. I can't run them in series because of shade. What I would like to do is run 2 strings, each in parallel with 5 panels going to one Epever 100 amp cc and one string into another 100 amp epever CC. Will this cause...

I have just finished building a shed for my battery's and system. While moving everything into the shed I am unsure how to hook up my battery's. I have a new EG4-3000 and 2 100 amp Epever cc's. I also have 6 200 AH agm batterys and 6 100 AH Litime lipo. I was wondering what or if there is any...

In my pea brain I don't see a reason to buy a 1100 dollar 100 AH rack mount battery over a stand alone 100 AH battery. Other then being able to stack the battery's and a nice rack what am I missing? Greg

Hi I started with a small 12 volt system last year and have been playing with it now for 11 months. It is a 800 watt system 12v with a Epever 60 amp controller on one string and a 40 amp Renogy on the other string. I decided to upgrade this year and ordered 10 265w panels from Santan solar with...

I am building my 3KW system and went to a solar charge time calculator site and imputed my info. On a 12V system my charge time showed to be 3.8 hr's. With no other changes but going from 12V to 48V my charge time increased to over 18 hr's. Why am I missing something here? It seems that a 12V...

I have 2 battery banks. One with 4 100 ah lipo and the other with 6 200 ah agm's. I have 2 solar CC's so have been charging them separate. I use a bus bar to connect the batterys to the inverter and was wondering if I would run into problems with both banks hooped to the same bus bar or if this...

Since starting on this solar voyage I have found a new talent of making sparks so decided to change my name to Sparky. Greg-Sparky

I have decided to expand my starter system and trying to decide on my course of action. When I started this journey I had no clue on what I needed so ordered the Renogy 400 watt kit and an extra 4 panels. All so ordered a 3000W inverter to go with the kit. Later I have bought 2 100 amp Epever...

I ordered a Victron wi fi for my 12-2000 inverter because the bluetooth range was only about 10 feet. I received the unit yesterday and installed it according to the little card that came with it. When I try to connect to Victron conect app I get nothing. All I have is the blue flashing...

I have been lurking here for about a month hoping to learn a little bit about solar. My experience with solar is I bought some of those stick in the yard light's and a solar radio. I bought a 400 watt premium system from Renogy before I knew anything about what I needed. Well after learning a...

I have spent 2 hours trying to get this so called app working with no luck. Followed the directions several times and still get no internet on the app. I was going to order a 6000 in a few months but after trying to get this app working I have decided to get the Vitron system. I had their app...

I have been looking for a place to buy a pre charge resistor and some where to buy a T class fuse for my new LIPO battery's.. The solar retailers I have checked don't have them. Anybody have any links excluding amazon? Thanks Greg

I finished my shed for the solar and am installing the units today. Got the battery's set up and the EG4 mounted and was going to install the Nadar breaker that came with the EG4 to complete the wiring. However when I took it out of the package it looks to mount in a box. Searched SS for a box...

After playing with this for awhile I have decided to upgrade from my new EG4-3000 to the Victron 480-100 and 48-5000 when a good sale comes up. I am hoping for a sale on July 4th or I can wait till black Friday. I have another 21 panels coming in from San Tan solar to go with the 18 I all ready...

Anybody know why andriod says this app is dangerous and wants to uninstall it? Greg

I was on the Victron site this morning and saw they have a Multiplus 11 charger inverter rated at 15,000 Va. I am looking for a future purchase and was interested in one of these but saw in the spec sheet that it is 230 V only. Anyone know if they are going to produce these in a 220V form in...

I found Walmart has Li time 12v 100ah batterys on sale today for $236.00. I ordered 2 of them to get started on my change over from agm's. Seems like a good deal. Greg

I have had this installed for 3 or 4 days now and thought I would go though and set the unit up. I had no problems but when I wanted to reset the unit [setting option28] from pal to to single mode it won't let me. Reading the manual I don't think it makes any difference because you need...

My problem with this the inverter is the battery monitor built into the inverter reads 20% and has done so since the first turn on. The inverter reads the correct battery voltage on the display. I have read the manual and could not find out how to reset the battery percent of charge back to...

On 12-29-2023 I ordered a battery balancer from ZHC Solar. They billed my credit card at the time of sale. I waited and all I received from them was an e mail saying they had my order. I have tried to contact them using their chat app which no one ever reply's and have sent 3 inquiry's to them...

On 12-29-23 I ordered a battery balancer from them. Two weeks ago I attempted to contact them to find out when they would ship the item. They did charge my card at the time of sale for $133.00. I can't find a phone number on their web customer support page so sent them a question on the order...
