Another question any reason I should not over panel the second Input? It'll just pull as much as it can right?

Thank you!

Hi, I want to setup my PV2 but it will be at a different voltage form PV1, they are two different solar panel arrays with different panels and voltages is that fine? I think it is just wondering. Thanks!

Where is a good place to get a 6048?

Update to this. I am having this happen more and more often. It is only affecting half my inverter. So just one leg looses power. Half of everything stays on while the other half looses power for long enough to turn everything off. Any thoughts?

Sorry for the massive delay. I have Jinkos 400watt panels, about 40V and 10amps, in a 2S5P configuration. It would not be much of an issue but I have to go rewire everything on my roof but then I deal with shading on 6 of my panels during the worst months of winter. It likely would be best to...

Hi, So my issue is I have and need a lower 2S solar setup, so peak is maybe 90V, often closer to 80V. So my main issue is keeping this as I have shading and need this kind of setup. Thoughts ideas...thanks. I know I can just get a solar charge controller but ideally it is all in one.

Hi, I am currently running a MPP LV5048 and I have 4,000 watts of solar going into PV input 1. I find that I often peak over the 5,000 watts for the inverter forcing it to switch back to grid and I am starting to consider upgrading it. My issue is that all of these newer units that are out...

I have this issue to this day, I am going to be replacing mine Daly is junk it seems.

If some then a system should be designed to focus on DC if there is any advantage like this. Others had questions about losses so here is the problem. DC to DC conversion which what a mppt charge controller is really doing has extremely low losses, maybe 2% at most. DC to DC is very efficient...

Currently my area supports hourly rate power. It's never a benefit for me to push power to the grid in these situations. I almost always charge my house batteries at night some even if I don't need it because often the power is either very cheap so why not, or its even free or negative...

I've debated this with many people. The short answer actually is no AC coupled is fairly dumb. Consider these many factors. 1.) Solar Panels are DC by default.... 2.) Batteries are DC by default.... 3.) If you want MOST things actually are DC not AC(not that most of us would be you could run...

I don't think that is the issue honestly, I'm going to have to look into it more or just live with it for now. I can always upgrade if it really becomes annoying. Thank guys for the advice.

This is a great deal plus 5% back with the Amazon Credit Card! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BVM8FZ18/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Hi, I am starting to notice after nearly 3 years of use that sometimes, when my LV5048 switches to grid power via its internal transfer switch that it sometimes either hangs little or completely disconnects power for an extended period causing full power lose to all things connected to it. Has...
