I understand: VOC input operates within a range, with minimum and maximum values which are strict for operation and safety respectively
And Amperage input has a maximum value (which can be exceeded, although energy will be wasted)...but does it have a minimum value the same way VOC does? That...
The calculus for me is: cost/space/wiring/time savings vs performance/efficiency
I haven't surveyed the landscape for a couple years since my last system and am trying to find the best solution for my budget & needs w/what's available now, may well end up with separates
First, to get it out of the way, APL is a shorthand I learned here that I believe is used to describe AC input charging within a voltage range typical to the US: https://voltaconsolar.com/blog/knowledge-base/ac-input-voltage-apl-ups-mode/
Much more importantly, to me at least: we now have a...
Hi--I'm not a total rookie, but still pretty new. I'm getting ready for my 2nd RV build--I'm planning on a 48V system so I can expand to a small cabin or shade structure down the road, initially based around one EG-LL 48V with about 800-1000W of panels on roof. I explained to the Signature...
Are you getting pretty good harvest even though the panels are inclined? Thanks

Thank you very much for your reply.
I went with VHB partially because that's what Will recommends for my situation...unless he changed position recently. My panels are rock solid up there, so far at least. VHB is used by some automakers in some situations where rivets used to be used...
I have two 200W panels on the roof of my 21' class C Toyota RV, which has an aluminum roof. I mounted them on the flat part of the roof about 1' before the roof slopes to the over-cab, hoping to reduce wind drag.
Now I'm thinking about installing two 100W panels, but the only space left is...
Thanks for your reply. The battery is factory-wired (under floor etc) to my DC distribution, and I don't want to tear the RV apart, so I need to power nearly all DC loads from the battery.
Based on what you've said, the Kisae isn't able to increase voltage from an input, it only down-converts...
I'm hoping to charge my battery via the solar input, using the output of my Bluetti 30A output.
The Bluetti default is 13.5V which won't trigger the Kisae's minimum of 14.5V, so it's not accepting the current.
Can I lower the Kisae's minimum input voltage? I'm also looking into increasing...
