It still needs work, but this is what the new sub panel looks like. I've got a 50 amp breaker going from the utility panel to the inverter, then the inverter to this sub panel. I need to clean up the wires at some point, but right now I'm still experimenting with which of my breakers I want to...

I bought a 50 amp breaker and wired into one leg of the panel to use as my "main". I have yet to connect the other leg because I don't have enough solar to justify moving over other breakers. In my situation I did not bond the neutral/ground, as it's already bonded in the main panel that is...

I inquired about different cells through Alibaba from both Libby Zhong and Daisy Efest who were both exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable. Unfortunately I was only ordering enough for a single 48V system and couldnt place an order from each of them. I ended up placing an order of 304AH Eve...

Apparently the manual versions are different. I was accidentally looking at 1.0, while version 1.2 is corrected.

That's what I am a little confused about. I assume it's only 120 in/ 120 out, but the "Wide AC input range" makes me wonder. I have looked everywhere and the manual/website say nothing more, but I reached out to MPP for clarification. I'll post the answer if I get one back!

Ok, so we have slightly different setups it appears. I want my PV/Batteries to power my sub panel at all times unless the grid is needed. So I plan to wire from a breaker in my main panel to my inverter, then from the inverter directly to the sub panel. The LV6548 shows an AC input range of...

Sorry to come back with yet another question, but I've hit a snag that I can't seem to wrap my head around. This whole time I've understood that with a single LV6548 the AC input would be 120v. After all, Will simply shows plugging it into a 120 receptacle. I have looked for a 120V circuit...

You're a lifesaver. Thank you so much. I feel there's only a small chance of burning everything up now!

Ah, geez. I get it now. I wasn't understanding the one hot wire becoming two. So basically get some correct rated house wire and split the hot from the inverter to supply both legs. As for the ground coming from the inverter, would I just bond the neutral and ground together? I understand that...

Ok, that makes sense. I've jumped into this project head first and now I'm beginning to think I should have looked first. As for the connecting to both sides, is that accomplished by simply feeding one black wire to a double pole breaker, making it a backfed breaker? Or do I need to somehow...

Thank you for replying! My inverter will be supplying all power to the sub panel, and the inverter itself will be connected to a breaker on my main panel to be able to bypass directly through if I don't have enough solar/battery power. So if I understand correctly, putting a double pole breaker...

Does anyone have a single MPP LV6548 connected to a circuit breaker box for AC output? I have searched and it seems everyone who does this has two units connected. I would greatly appreciate a link or pictures showing me what circuit breaker box to buy and how to supply both legs without burning...

Thank you for your reply! Are you doing off-grid with battery backup I assume?

Or perhaps I should just ask: When trying to size/link PV panels, am I trying to stay within both VOC -20% for cold temps, as well as ISC amps? Or are Max current ratings for aforementioned All in one system not really a factor? A prior post appears to state that an amperage of well over the 18A...

Hello, this is my first build and my first post, so I apologize if I seem completely ignorant. It's because I am. I am going to be purchasing a MPP LV6548, probably either a set of 24V Ampere Time batteries, and SanTan Solar T-Series 250W panels. So for the MPP, which has two inverters, here...
