  • Post in thread: Fusing 24 volt system

    This is my first system and I need to know what fusing is nessisary for a 4 x 100w panels with 4 100 ah agm batteries and 30 amp charge controller and a 1500 watt pure sine wave 24 volt inverter. Thanks

    Thank you very much. That real helps
  • Post in thread: 12v or 24v

    I’m new at all this and want to know if 12v or 24v would be better for my 10 foot trailer with room for only one panel on the roof? Thanks
  • Post in thread: Fusing 24 volt system

    No just 2 batteries in each of the series packs and I won’t be needing any DC fuse block as this system is for my shop
  • Post in thread: Fusing 24 volt system

    Thank you so much. Very helpful. I’m actually building two systems, one the 4 agm 100ah’s 4x 100w panels and my little trailer build with 2 100ah lithium iron and 1 395 w panel. Both 24 volt
  • Post in thread: Copper busbar

    I just bought 3mm thick copper bus bars for my ssp 4x 100 ah agm battery pack. Will they be thick enough?
  • Post in thread: Battery wire length

    Hi again. I now have 2 x 200 ah 24 volt life04 batteries and would like to know if, as I’m wiring them in parallel, positive to positive, negative to negative and then positive from battery A to bus bar and negative from battery B. Do all the wires have to be the same length? Also how would you...

    My new eco worthy 3000 hybrid inverter has mppt charge controller
  • Post in thread: Mini split

    Yes I am now building 2 systems one for my trailer (10ft) and one for my house. I have 2 x 100 ah life04 batteries and I have 2 x 24 volt 200ah batteries for the house. I’ve ended up with a 30 amp tracer mppt and a Victron 100/50 and an eco worthy 3000 watt hybrid inverter all 24 volt and I...
  • Post in thread: Mini split

    Oh and I have room on my trail for a 395w panel and am planning on 3 x400-500 watts on my house
  • Post in thread: Resources for beginners

    Hi first post ever. I’m looking for a chart that would allow me to enter my components and get help with fusing and cables sizes. Does such a thing exist?

    Thanks I will have a look for amps and as it’s a 24 volt system the panels would be wired 2 P strings in series.
  • Post in thread: 12v or 24v

    Thanks. I have now purchased a 395 watt panel
  • Post in thread: About fusing…

    Hi what fuse would I use for a 24 volt 3000 watt hi frequency inverter
  • Post in thread: 12v or 24v

    Thanks. To be fair i live in south western BC so we don’t get to -20 very often.
  • Post in thread: Mini split

    Hi I’m brand new to solar and am just now beginning to build a system. I just purchased a 12000 btu Rheem mini split heat pump and was wondering if it is feasible to run it with Solar power? Thank you
  • Post in thread: Charge controller current

    Hi I was watching Wills video of his 24 volt system with 4 x 100 ah batteries and a 2000 w inverter and a 40a cc. I am building a very similar system which contains 4 x 100 ah batteries wired to 24 volts (ssp) with 4 x 100w solar panels 18. And 5 roughly and I want to know if it’s safe to use...
  • Post in thread: Fusing 24 volt system

    Hi the open current voltage is 22.6 and optimum current voltage is 18.3. X 4 100 watt panels
  • Post in thread: Fusing 24 volt system

    So am I correct in my calculation that with 2 12 volt 100ah batteries wired in series would be 24 volts 100 amps and 1200 watts then another 2 12 volt batteries also in series and then the 2 series banks wired in parallel would be 24 volts 50 amps and 2400 watts?
  • Post in thread: Fusing 24 volt system

    Hello again well before I even got the arm batteries hooked up I bit the bullet and bought 2 24 volt 200 ah life04 batteries and a 3000 watt 24 volt hybrid inverter I will have 2 400 watt panels with plans to expand. Can anyone help me with the fusing for this setup? Thank you
  • Post in thread: 12v or 24v

    I have no system in place for the trailer. It is gutted and am currently redoing the interior.
  • Post in thread: Fusing 24 volt system

    Sorry. I get it now. Do you know where I can find a wiring diagram that allows you to plug in the values of your components and it will give you fusing and wire gauge’s nessisary?
  • Post in thread: ECO-WORTHY 3kw All-in-one Hybrid inverter, Anybody used one?

    I bought one today for 400. Canadian second hand unused. I’m doing the exact thing here in my shed workshop at beautiful Cultus Lake BC. I’ll watch this feed to see if I can learn anything. Thanks
  • Post in thread: ECO-WORTHY 3kw All-in-one Hybrid inverter, Anybody used one?

    Eco-worthy was selling them for 489.Ca but they are sold out with no date for restocking.
  • Post in thread: Fusing 24 volt system

    I was thinking of getting a Victron battery protect for between the battery and inverter. Would the 100 amp model work for that? And would it go before or after the positive buss bar? Thanks
