I realize this is probably a dumb question, but here goes. I have an Ecoworthy 48v 5000w inverter. The manual says to use a 2P-40amp breaker for the AC input. The AC input on the inverter has only ground, L and N connections, one each. The 2 pole breaker has two connections. Do I just connect...

Here is a picture of the specs on the side of the inverter

I have 8 195 watt 12 V solar panels. I have a 48V DC to 120V AV 5000W inverter. I'm a bit confused about how many panels I can wire in series. I'm assuming that I can wire four 12V panels in series (to get 48V), but I wonder what happens if I exceed 48V. The documentation for the inverter...

Thank you for your reply. So I would need to get *at least* two more panels, or enough panels, wire them all in series so they they add up to between 120v and 450v? Is this correct?

The documentation says VoC 23.7V and Vmp 19.8V.

I have 8 12v 200 watt panels and 2 24v 200w panels in series. I originally had only the 8 12v panels but bought the extra 2 24v thinking that I just wasn't getting enough power to the inverter. But I'm not getting any indication that there is any power coming to the inverter. Sometimes it...

I have an ecoworks 5000w 48v inverter, 8 200w panels and three 100ah lifepo4 batteries. We have frequent blackouts where I live, and I was thinking to have a dedicated circuit breaker box for the essentials (fridge, water well pump). Power from the grid would come through the main breaker box...

Yes, that's the one. So I can only hook up one pole? I'm a bit confused, because the manual suggests a 2 pole.
