Took a while to get it together, but really wasn't hard to do. No reason to overdo the platform. Two 6' 2x6s and a couple of 3 foot deck boards make a solid base. The set of wheels was about $80 on Amazon. The mount is the eco-worthy set up for $100. Did need to add two pieces of 2 foot strut...
Took me a while in my spare time, and still some final settings to adjust. Pretty happy with how it came out. I have three solar panels to use when needed. Thanks to this forum for all the help. Wouldn't have been possible without.
Getting ready to run battery cables from my 24V 200Ah Lithium battery to my AIO MPP 2424 inverter. Would like to install a battery switch. Will this one work? I prefer to go with the name brand. Have seen some cheap ones out there. Which side of the fuse should it go on? Or do I even need a...
The display is showing zero output voltage. I am using a plug strip for AC out, and the power button on the plug strip is flashing. I have power saving mode disabled.
Can't find the answer in the manual. Will the batteries still charge if the inverter is off? I realize that it pretty easy to find out, but I just hooked up the system, and it's been cloudy and rainy. One sunny day is all I'd need. Thanks.
Purchased this SIGANDG in line fuse holder. Am going to be using 1/0 wire. It looks like there is a sleeve within a sleeve in the end. I'm assuming that the wire goes in the inner sleeve? Or maybe the sleeve is for the smaller diameter wires, and the 1/0 goes in without the sleeve? Stupid...
At most I'll have three 365W panels in series. The lsc of each panel is 11.07A. Do I need a breaker between the panels and the inverter, and if so, could you please recommend one if possible. Thanks.
I'm using a Time USB 25.6V 200Ah battery. My AIO inverter is Mpp PIP 2424LV-MSD. Have been charging the battery with one 375W panel during basically cloudy conditions for the past 2 days. The charge controller on the inverter blinks green when charging, and goes to solid green when charged...
Will these panels work with my 24V inverter. The panels are Q Cells, and they are listed as 24V panels. I did the math from the spec sheet, and they seem to be. Just looking for confirmation. Thanks.
My computer doesn't even have a disc drive. Can't I just power up the inverter and configure it via the display panel.and use it? I am not concerned about monitoring the system, it's just a portable hand truck system for mostly emergencies.Thanks. Ed
Got this free with an Amazon battery order. Looks pretty strange. Is it an inverter? A block that charges? What voltage does it produce? What's it for? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just put this hand truck systen together. The display is showing zero volts for output. I have the battery hooked up, no PV panels. Battery has 26.1V. Using a plug strip, and the power button on the strip is flashing. Power saving mode is disabled. Please help. Thanks.
I need to design and build a small solar system. Just battery backup, no grid tie. Had a small system many years ago consisting of 4 rooftop panels, a voltage controller, Xantrex inverter, and eight 6 volt trojan golf cart batteries. I'd like to build something a little bigger. I did see a nice...
We are thinking about installing a 10kW system with battery backup. Would appreciate any recommendations for an installer, or a point in the right direction.
These are the MC4 connectors on my solar panel. Are there identical MC4 connectors for purchase that will seamlessly connect to the wires going to the inverter. Sounds like a dumb question, but I've seen a few connectors that look similar, but different. Any way to tell if one is an exact match...
