If the power system in general is kept in an always on state, then the inverter input caps will also stay pre-charged. Then you can...

Here is a section of the forum for the batteries that might be interesting for you...

Step one is to go outside tomorrow at ~ 8 - 9 am and 3 - 4 pm. Look at where the sun is hitting the barn at those two times of day -...

I was just encouraging you. :) As far as batteries going out of balance - sure but if you buy a good quality battery then it will take...

I know that, I steal all my ideas from other people. I should become a patent attorney I guess....

Yes I assumed that it would be tossed because more or less nothing is working. 200 watts is not going to be enough anyway at the...

Agreed it does not indicate the SOC, but it records the duration of charge, absorbtion and float for the day. With the low charge...

Consider to wire your battery packs to a bus bar. Use safety protection for each parallel battery string, I like to use a breaker like...

I always do it that way. The one aspect that you do need to be careful of is that not all 12 volt batteries are rated to be wired in 24...

If possible, my preference is to have the solar always charging the battery pack - 100% of the time. If you just turn the inverter on /...

Yup. I would not do a roof mount unless it was absolutely necessary. All that money for a new roof just to have it leak maybe. Plus the...

A pump motor is an inductive load, so I can't think of any interesting inverters that can do what you want for under $1500.

I’m messing up my Tigo products sorry! The CCA is powered by 12VDC but also has a power/communcation wire that is connected to the Tigo...

I've been experimenting with solar for a little while now and with summer coming want to do something with the gear. So I'm looking to...

It almost always makes sense to go to 24 volt over 12 volt. Just in terms of the solar charge controllers required, switching to 24...

Definitely following along with what you come up with.

Sorry, I have a fully separate grid tied system with microinverters. These 6 panels are dedicated to the mini split, no inverter, just...

I have a call into Tigo and will update when I hear back but thought I’d throw this out to the group also. Okay here is my scenario - I...

Web store still seems to be working normally. I didn't place an order but there is no indication of an issue that I can see. I have...

I don't know exactly the answer, but the larger class A RVs that I have seen use 3 each 15 K btu RV type air conditioners. Even with...
