    Should I go with mpp solar?

    1.) In regard to remote control, you need a separate attachment but yes you can control them via wifi. Google lv2424 wifi adapter *NOTE that there are two wifi adapters. One of them is newer and only works on newer models of lv2424's. 2.) Yes you can setup a custom charge parameter on either of...

    MPP LV2424 - USB Drivers?

    No problem. I must concede that I'm not sure why your USB cable isn't working....I have my LV2424 hooked up with the included USB B cable and it works just fine. Is there something I'm missing? Your computer really just doesn't recognize it? Strange... ?

    Charge Profile Setup for SOK 12V 206AH

    Do you have a "back to charge voltage" and a "Back to discharge voltage" setting in your system— if so, what are yours set to? The amount of helpful people on this forum and the speed at which my questions get responses never ceases to amaze me. Thanks a bunch.

    Charge Profile Setup for SOK 12V 206AH

    Yeah I think that some of SOK's specs are....unrealistic for long life (I am a novice here, so I am not really qualified to assert such a thing, but I digress). Here's an example: SOK Specifies Charge Voltage: 14.6V for their 206a 12v battery. Basically, I want to get as many cycles as a I can...

    Should I go with mpp solar?

    I have the white one and I found out that there is one more difference and in my opinion, it's a big one. The difference is in the software. White one uses Watchpower software while the green one uses Solarpower software. They look very similar in terms of UI, but the ability to program settings...

    MPP Solar LV2424 kicks butt!!!

    Do you have the LV2424 MSD or the LV2424 Hybrid? I think I am finding out that Watchpower only works for the MSD version while the Solarpower software works for the hybrid version. Can you confirm?

    Can't Find the Right 4 Gang Box

    Didn't know that! I will definitely pick one up. Can you rephrase your last two sentences? I guess I'm not sure what that is referring to but I'd like to be up to code (or as close to code as possible). Are you saying that the type of Romex cable I used isn't the right kind for this...

    Can't Find the Right 4 Gang Box

    Just wanted to update y'all with my progress. 2 boxes was the simplest way to do it, so that's how I did it. I mistakenly punched out a hole in the left box because I planned on a different configuration before dedicating to this one, is that okay? Everything works, system is dandy. Thoughts...

    Can't Find the Right 4 Gang Box

    I trust your judgement, I got plenty extra wire laying around so I might as well cut new ones with an extra inch on them. Yes I was planning on trimming them to size when I put the greenie wire nut on. I need to make one more run to the hardware store so I'll update with new pictures either...

    Can't Find the Right 4 Gang Box

    Thought I'd follow up with the wiring once I finished. They're not in the box yet, but here's my progress (see pictures). Thanks again for your help everybody!
