I like the idea of a tracer In both regards. I understand what you are saying. You are teaching me a lot about solar. My cabin is 90 feet from my batteries and SunGold unit. I would love to monitor it from the cabin. Can we move to the solar array. I have 4 panels at this time. I do not have a...

MichaelK, it looks like the Tracer is a communication piece of equipment that would leave me communicate with my charge controller. Correct.

MichaelK, sorry with Christmas and all I got sidetracked. Yes those are the specs of my charge controller. Do you have a larger panel than mine. Mine is only 3000w. I see that this charge controller can handle up to 1400W from the panels. When I move the panel array it would only be 30 feet from...

Here is what I purchased. We felt we needed a 3000W to run the well pump. The well pump at start up draws 19A and running is at 9A. At one time looking at the solar charger screen I thought I saw a 55A draw from the batteries. When I move the panels I should get 6 to 8 hours of sun. As far as...

They are Rolls flooded L16 batteries at 390 ah. I do need to move my solar array. The trees have now grown higher and puts some shade on the array later in the afternoon. I also get some shade from morning sun. I only get about 4 hours of good sun. i am intending to move my solar array next...

MichaelK, Thank you for the thought on checking SG on the 4 batteries I have. I didn’t think about that. I currently have 4 - 200 watt panels and adding 2 more 200 watts when I add batteries. That would give me 1200 watts. Looks like I may be short on panel wattage also. I need to say I don’t...

So do I need to get 4 more batteries so I have 2 strings at 24 volts

I am now running a 24v system by using 4 - 6v flooded batteries. I don’t have enough battery to take several showers. I run a deep well pump with the system. The pump draws 9.6 amps when running and 19 amps on start up. I would like to add more batteries. I was looking at adding 2 more 6v...
