  • 6.6kw solar system newbie questions

  • VMP, IMP, VOC, ISC questions

    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...
  • ManyuSolar thoughts plus offgrid inverter questions

    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?
  • Victor Max 10.2kw inverter questions

    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...
  • System underperforming?

    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?
  • Correct breaker for battery input?

    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...
  • 60vdc 200amp breaker seller?

    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...
  • Critical Loads Panel question

    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...
