Update: I went up top and checked the connections, I am 90% certain the panels are incorrectly connected. Instead of doing 2S1P they decided to go 4S and not sure about the P (kinda messy wiring). I also noticed the 2Series may have the +/- connected wrong! so positive to negative in short...

Also it only has 1 MPPT for 27amps max, it has 2 PV inputs but internally it connects each string parallel to the mppt

Yea, I noticed it was 1 MPPT at 27amps when the guys first install my system assuming it was 2 MPPTs and my max of 9kw was only going to a max of 4.5k-4.8k, When I told them it was 1 MPPT at 27amps they reconfigured the connections to go 400~v-21amps and now it kinda works, my peak was like...

I will be getting 20kw in batteries and planned on 6.4kw PV system but planning on upping that to 8.2kw with a 8.2kw inverter (talking to the guys to see how much $$$ would it be over). I'm new to all this stuff and the more I read the more I learn and more I get confused LOL

Indeed, I always try and unplug things like phone chargers and not leave my PC on sleep either. Almost everything plugged in draws a little bit of charge and the average house has a LOT of things plugged in lol

Thank you for the answers, im not very electrical savy (I HATE working with electricity and its meanings) so I kinda get confused or lost too much. I normally do the laundry at daytime, very small ocassions where I use the dryer past 6pm for X or Y reason. (Currently doing laundry at 2:26pm) I...

Also another very rookie question (I assume the answer is yes but not sure). I can still connect everything to the solar system AND if the panels+battery is not enough I can still pick up power from the grid no? or would that be a custom thing to protect the appliances in case of surges from...

Update: Talked with them and they wanted to see how long my 2 batteries take to charge. I told them to come by and check wiring cause that's the weird issue, I guess this will be a multi-day issue ffs. I noticed this inverter has 2 PV inputs (PV1 and PV2). If im not mistaken this inverter only...

I came home and forgot to say, I have 20kw in batteries but that is 2 10kw battery packs. I noticed my discharge rate was around 140A since im using big power currently. When I go into the battery menu I noticed pack 1 is discharging at 70ish amps while pack 2 at 60ish amps. Batteries max...

Currently the breaker installed by the installers was a 125amp 1 pole breaker (on the positive), I read my inverter could use around 210amps from the batteries and my 2 batteries can output a max of 100amp each, is it fine to use the 125amp breaker or is that way too small? I was searching for a...

It's a hybrid inverter, it says max solar charging current 160A and max AC charging current 140A so that's what you mean by overpaneling the MPPT no? (172A vs the 160A). This is the inverter, im thinking of asking them if there is another better one because I just want to be on the safe side...

Panel specs are Vmp: 34.9v Imp: 13.19A Voc: 41.8v Isc: 13.92A If im not mistaken inverter is rated for a MAX of 500VDC and MPPT voltage range of 90-450VDC, it says number of MPPT/Maximum Input Current is 1/27A. im going for 18 of those panels so I am assuming I can make 2 9 panel series...

Its veeeery sunny today no clouds yet max is still not more than 5kw. I upped the charging setting to 120A to see if an increase would appwar but nope. Im thinking this inverter sucks or something lol, will call tomorrow for the installer to verify

I did a search in the forums but found nothing and online is also pretty low info, anyone has any idea of manyu solar inverters/batteries? I couldn't find any reviews. Also is it possible for off-grid inverters to use the grid power when solar+batteries are not enough?

So If I understand correctly, if the PV current is higher than the charge controllers max current input then the PV controller should adjust for that diference and lower PV current? (Panels have controllers inside of them to do this?) I studied computer science with some electric engineering...

So I got about 20 450w panels and 20k in lifepo4 batteries. The inverter being used is a Victor Max 10.2Kw hybrid inverter. I currently run on SBU mode but notice on sunny days even if my solar generation is big and house usage is low (example: making 4kw in sun and house using 400watts) it...

Sooo im new to this and have been learning on youtube and chatgpt lol. Is a 6.6kw solar system enough to power either and electric dryer or electric cooktop? I do plan on adding 20kwh in batteries (2 10kw batteries) with a 8-8.5kw inverter. i live in Puerto Rico so my house roof is flat and...

Anyone knows where I could buy a 60vdc 200amp breaker? I have been trying to buy one on Signature Solar but after lots of communication issues (no email answers, no phone responses), finally after 2-3 days I get a sale rep to quote me a shipping amount I get the quote like 1-2 days later with a...

This inverter is not a real 10.2kw, I have it and PV input, battery output and ac output is maxxed at 8kw~. Unfortunate since it is marketed as a 10.2kw and says it everywhere. Tested the output and at 8kw+ it went overload and shutsdown after a few seconds like the manual says. Anyone know a...

Hello Again MisterSandals:Yes I can provide a link (didn't do it in case it was against rules or ToS) https://szmysolar.com/products/on-off-grid-dc-ac-wall-inverter-3-6kw-6-2kw-hybrid-solar-inverter-48v-24v-all-in-one-mpp-hybrid-solar-inverter I talked to the installer today and he said yes...

Still learning the basics lol Critical loads panels are to just power those X amount of items when the grid goes down with PV and batteries correct? When setting up an a solar system, the main house panel is powered by solar+batteries (if you go SBU instead of SUB) right? So its like...

I have 20 450w Helios Plus EGE-450W-144M (M6) panels, that's supposed to be a 9kw system but even on sunny no cloud days I get a max of 4.8-5kw at a time, if there is a bit of clouds it goes down to 1-2kw. Is this normal?

I have not been able to buy from Signature Solar, have to talk to a sales agent and they NEVER pickup or answer my emails unfortunately. Any other websites similar to them for electrical solar stuff? I need a 200Amp 60v Nader DC breaker

Currently panels are aiming southwest, not sure the tilt but can check later with my phone. When clouds come it drops to the 1-2kw, when sunny no clouds its when it goes up to 4-5kw. Let me see if I can attach pics Edit: this is hybrid system, tied to the grid to use extra power if batteries...

Trying to grasp all you said I plan on powering on batteries the whole house except electric oven, electric dryer, electric water heater and central 36000BTU AC I do plan on putting on batteries 2 ACs (12000BTU and a 18000BTU with a 22 and 19 SEER rating) and everything thing else at home...

Yea it looks kind of like a lame storepage, Im pretty sure this is all brought by bulk from China. Shop has a 2 yr warranty on panels/inverters and a 5 yr warranty on batteries. Online on their page I have seen them install these inverters in different customer homes, they are coming in today...

Its integrated with the inverter. Its a victor max 10.2kw, here are the specs in a pic. I think max voltage was 500VDC and 1MPPT for a max of 27Amps

My arrawy would be around 6.44kw (14 460w panels) and 2 10kw batteries (and yes they are Lithium, I think its a LiFePo4) Yeap I do have the quote with the warranty saved in my phone just in case.

I will talk to the installer to check then, I think we have 2 series (each of 10 panels) and then connected both series in parallel so VDC is around 490ish and amps is 26-27.8 Currently my load is around 5-6kw and solar max output doesn't go past 5kw Edit: with or without load I never seen it...

Well according to the manual and what I set up, max charging current in the inverter is 100A
