    Oh yes, I got a quote from probably the largest installer around here and they put on the quote Mppt but on the specs a PWM, without Wills videos and the help of the people in this forum I would not have even known the difference.

    Thanks. Done.
  • Post in thread: Wires and fuses

    For the 50A circuit breaker for the Scc could I use this one?
  • Post in thread: Excessive electricity from panels

    I think yes, however the wires had to be reconfigured due to a mistake on the wiring of the battery monitor and I am not sure if then the panels were shut off. But I have videos that show this high values even before this. Thanks for your advice its worth trying it.

    What if I have a small 12V system with just ond day of battery power, could I extend it to 6 days?
  • Post in thread: Excessive electricity from panels

    But does this make sense?, if its watts then its producing 24.5 watts per hour, so over the day 24.5x12= 294wh, no too low, it might be 245×12= 2940wh, makes more sense.

    Which in winter I will probably have but I have a generator
  • Post in thread: Excessive electricity from panels

    I agree the number must be wrong.

    The fridge ( without a freezer) has a factory claim of 101 kwh per year, 101/365= 0.2767 kwh per day, so 27.67 wh per day, am I correct? This is the energy sticker: And the fridge:

    Ampertime gave me a quote for 12V 100ah 637.99€ 24V 100Ah: 1559.99€, as they are shipping from within the EU there should not be large additiinal taxes, however SOK 12v 100ah is 630 €, seems SOK is cheaper and better.

    In my spreadsheet because I will be using 2 410W panels the c rate comes 0.33, is it better to keep it lower?
  • Post in thread: Wirinig SCC

    Hi everybody, I almost got all my components but I have a doubt, I am following Wills classic 400 setup but Epever representative has advised to wire in a different way and I want your opinion. I was planning to wire the scc from the inverter pos. and negative and put a fuse there. However the...

    Yes Epever confirmed its cumulative, needs to be reseted.
  • Post in thread: Inverters with petrol generator input.

    Could you please help me verify the compatibility of the this inverter MPP with and the Pramac GBW 15 I have on site, it seems to me that there is a difference on voltage output 380V and 400V that would make them incompatible but I am not sure of the inverter generator reqs are: GENERATOR...

    I read the manual of the inverter MPP PIP3024MSXE 24V. 60A SCC 3KW, however they do not mention any maximum of batteries that I could install I know that the battery itself it has some restrictions eg SOK 12V not more than 4 in series, but do inverters have other restrictions?
  • Post in thread: Audit Spreadsheet verification

    Ok, but I would like to start if possible with one 1200 battery and one 410 panel. so can I make some changes to achieve this? I will reduce the hours of use and increase the discharge from 80 to 85 %. Also because the Wh of the battery are now around 1200 I will try a 12V battery: Is this...
  • Post in thread: Inverters with petrol generator input.

    Found a EU supplier https://suministrosdelsol.com/en/ but their prices are higher than MPP directly.

    2. Actually this number does not change much during the day so yes it was also measured at best sun. But something that is weird is that the value doesn't change to 0 even at night time, note the small moon on the screen. 3. I can only say the battery monitor was showing 100% but I do not know...
  • Post in thread: Excessive electricity from panels

    This is not the case with mine this number is not changing a lot whether batteries are full ot empty. Is this the sign of a problem?
  • Post in thread: The upgradable system problem

    So does that mean that if we discharge and charge once a day then Ampertime will last 1500/365= 4.1 years while sok 2500/365= 6.8 years,? maybe this is the reason for the guarantee difference?
  • Post in thread: Audit Spreadsheet verification

    I have found an inverter that has lower no load consumption so that it will allow me to stay within the 2400 Wh range so I can go by with 2 acid batteries with one day of storage, the Audit Spreadsheet looks now like this: Based on this my system would be: 2 410W panels 50 VOC. 10.1V Isc...
  • Post in thread: Wires and fuses

    As I thought, they dont have what I need, do you have a specific MRBF in mind?
  • Post in thread: Inverter resetting

    Is there a solution?
  • Post in thread: The upgradable system problem

    Thanks, thing is I am in Cyprus EU, Chins web site appears to be non secure, I sent them email, Zoom and Ampertime dont have shipping to Cyprus in their sites but I email them. Any options that have delivery to Europe?
  • Post in thread: Audit Spreadsheet verification

    This is huge, I have reduced the hours of computer to 3 in order to keep the battery at least with in the 2400 limit: One way to get just one battery of 1200 is to find an inverter that takes only 10W and work with 1 day of storage capacity. Is this viable?, I have a generator on site. It...
  • Post in thread: Wires and fuses

    I think not, however I cannot find the wires I would like, I bought a 35 mm2 (approx. Gauge 2) one for battery to inverter although I could use only one meter I got 2 meters each(+ -) just in case, from inverter to scc circuit breaker a 25mm2 (approx. Gauge 3) 20cm and from scc circuit breaker...
  • Post in thread: Audit Spreadsheet verification

    Yes and not only that but it has a 0 load consumption "minor" to 25W, if I am I understanding this correctly it means that it will use about 30% of the energy of the panel just to run itself? Do you know of any AIO or just inverter with similar characteristics that is not using as much?
  • Post in thread: Days of autonomy

    Hello, are there any resources that can help us determine the recomended autonomy days for a certain location?
  • Post in thread: Good Agm batteries

    I contacted the manufacturer who said this are not made for off grid use, they suggested a diferent product, however its pricey at 295 € plus VAT.
  • Post in thread: Excessive electricity from panels

    I dont have available a clamp meter only a voltimeter, yes the parameters are for 12V and bat. Is 12v: Something weird happened during the installation, the mcb that I am using as an on off switch for the panels was not cutting off so I asked an electrician who told me to ignore the signs and...
