I just installed my 24v 280ah battery with 1520 watts of solar and everything is working well there (thanks to all here who assisted along the way and Will for the videos, ideas, and instruction!) I’m ready to install the Multiplus 24/3000/70. My RV is 50a connection. I only have one a/c unit...

I do, but it is at the end of its useful life and I was going to remove it. Not worth the cost to put a new one in there.

I’m installing a 24v lithium battery system and will be using a Victron Orion 24/12 70a converter to power the existing DC system. I’m reading in my owners manual that the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 can use up to 95a momentarily which exceeds the Orions 85a max output. Does anyone have better...

What did you find? I’m looking for a switch now?

Any suggestions on the best way to run a Daly BMS with a 5/16" connection to the Victron Smartshunt and it's 3/8" connection? Would a 3/8 to 5/16 stud adapter work? Or is there a better way? I may be able to cut and crimp a new connection, but it is a 2 awg wire and there isn't a lot to work...

So I have my Renogy z-brackets mounted on the panels and the panels on the roof. The roof has just enough of a curve so that the outer bracket on one side has a gap as you can see in the picture. How would you recommend bridging the gap? The bracket can be pressed down enough to bend and then...

I finally got lucky and just picked up 6 used LG 260w panels for $45 each.

Thanks! Yes I have a cardboard cut out and it is close in some areas but looks like it will all fit.

Thanks for the recommend on that! I just called the local office and they guy is putting together a quote for me. He is only like 20 minutes away too.

Thanks for your feedback! I've been searching daily for local panels and everyone in the Wash DC area must think they are selling gold. Many people are selling used panels for what I can buy new and have shipped (some are $1/w!) and I have to drive 1-1 1/2 hrs each way to get them. The best I...

Hi I’m getting ready to order my solar panels. Im looking for about 1200w and I think I will go with a 4 - 305w panels with the following specs : 60 cell mono Rated Power: 305W Open circuit voltage (VOC): 39.9 V Max power voltage (VMP): 32.3 V Short circuit current (ISC): 9.76 A Max power...

On Will's DIY 24v LiFePO4Solar Battery Bank! Beginner Friendly, 2.4kWh, Cheap, Full Tutorial video he mentions selling the Balance Plug Cable already made on his website. I've been searching in different areas on the website and can't find it. Is it no longer available? Any links to something...

Thank you that’s very helpful to see the differences a weather day can make and how many watts are generated from a little over 700w panels in a day. At some point I’ll have mounting questions, but I’ll save those for when I’m ready. I’m not real excited about screwing into the roof due to...

No I appreciate it. That’s why I asked here to be challenged now rather then later when its too late. I went back and looked at all my calculations from a watt/hr perspective which makes much more sense. I’m looking at about 3600 watt hrs per day on average. If anything its probably on the high...

Oh thanks, and yes I’m sorry it’s amp hours at 12v so about 3000 watts per day Estimating 3,600 watts to be safe.
