Yes the breaker is a DC rated breaker. As for the controller they do recommend mounting vertical Long story short... It's gonna have to be in there for the time being. I'm trying to find a solution to why I had to do that 🙄 in the mean time I have been watching the temp to see if it is getting...

That's what I am afraid of.

Hmm I will have to upgrade my wire. Seems to be working fine for now but I plan on adding panels so I can use the full 4000w of my inverter. A shunt purely monitors battery charge? No other benefit or job? I will look into them. Accurate data would be nice. I attached a picture. When the circle...

I will probably pick up 4 more of the same 315 watt panels I have up now. That will bump me to 2560watts. I was planning on adding a wind generator but more panels might have to come first. I fore see a 12 step in my future lol. I am constantly thinking about various aspects of the system and...

The batteries are hooked up to a bus bar, along with the charge controller and the inverter. I may go down to a 3000watt inverter. The most I have seen on the inverter for wattage being used so far is 2600 and that was literally everything in my cabin running at once to see how much draw there...

First off and foremost..like alot of people that find their way to these forums I'm sure, I am very new to solar. I am currently replacing my (2) 200ah AMG batteries with (2) 280ah (1) 200ah and (1)100ah LifePO4 batteries. I know I know. Best to have all same same, but it's the hand it's what I...

I originally had my wires cut to length so they were as short as possible. I am now understanding why it's better they all be the same length so they are all same resistance for charge and discharging. I rewired my battery bank so all wires are the same length and put them on one bus that is...

What is the best practice for LiFePO4 batteries when they are sitting idle for long periods between use? Would it be best to let the PV and MPPT in to keep them charged or it is better to shut they system down and turn everything back on when the cabin is in use? The cabin goes unused for months...

I am going to have to get some more panels before I get a Bms first. With the new battery capacity it's taking much much longer to charge LOL

Built an I insulated box for winter
