I’d like to add solarreviews.com to the list, To be added. The company needs to be in business for 5 years.

For planning prior to tax rebate: -5 kw of panels installed $10k -each ac draws 4 kw when running. This could be as low as 2.5 kw -each ac will require 6-9 kw of panels to provide enough power to run it, only when the sun shines, I am in AZ, not that different from you. My AC cycles on 20...

They were #2 on my list last year to do my install. I’m glad there was another installer I preferred locally. At the time, sun power had a rather good rating on solarreviews.com. They’re supposed to be one of the few companies who have been around long enough to actually be in business when...

6 panels on a 75/15 is good if you want to max it out all day. I have 9 x 100 watt panels hooked 3s3p to a 75/15 at 24 volts. I see a lot of 15 amp charging with a max of 420 watts charging. 3 point east, 3 point west, and three point south.

If a 12 volt system stem, 3P may work.

Lose this battle. Ditch the solar generator. Move on. You will never make her happy with that solar generator there.

You may try that question on the filedlines forum: https://www.fieldlines.com/index.php?board=5.0 They are the most active for other than solar renewable energy I have found. Still not a lot of participants. I can't tell you anything you haven't tried.

How many amps will go through this? The ampacity of the wire drives this. Each of my two batteries have a Class 125 amp T fuse, with a 225 amp Class T fuse after combined. I would fuse all five battteries seperately. Unless you want to buy a cheaper AILI shunt to put in the less important...

These are my settings for a 50 ah 24 volt pack After charging and the SCC enters float, I want it to keep up with loads. I started at 26 volts and slowly went up so that if I had a 250 watt load, the panels would provide power. A float too low would lead to the panels not providing enough...

How much wattage of solar panels do you have? I need at least 2200 watts of panels to cover loads like you mentioned but in the shorter days of the year, I have put 2500 wats of panels out and its not enough. When I run my AC I get 89% efficiency: Watts From Battery: 1650 Watts From Inverter...

This is leading me to believe the battery is dead or the BMS is receiving no current from the battery. Checking battery voltage at the battery terminals will confirm a dead battery. When I set my BMS up on my big battery pack, I mis wired it and my BMS was reading completely off. Recommend...

To me that is exactly what you want. No reason to justify if you're happy. I am in an area that I can go boondocking. I can either drive 30 minutes from my house and get to state trust land and park and camp where I want, but in a city of 6 million people, in that state trust land I do have...

I think you have things just the way you want them.

IMO, your batteries and solar are not big enough to power your air conditioner, so the move you're describing won't matter for cooling. Heating will be fine in the master bedroom provided the heating is propane. Electric heat has the same power as the electric air conditioner. In another post...

A lot of work and thanks for the data. Knowing SOH now, will you use these?
