Yeah my generator is set up to do the same. The solar systems work well if you do your due diligence and size them right, and know what you are getting into. This is a shed. A very small application but decent power requirements. I'd need more panels, and more batteries to be properly sized...

Yeah, it's like I said previously. The system as it stands is not sized correctly for my application. at $2700 I would expect more. If I'm going to spend the amount I would need to spend for my application, I just don't see it as economical. That's just me. $300 on 100 feet of electrical...

Out of curiosity... right now when the sun goes down, how long does that system stay running on those two batteries?

I really appreciate all the help and expertise here in this forum. SINCERELY. Unfortunately, I've given up my quest for a solar solution and decided to return the system. For what I'm looking to do it just isn't economical. For an off-grid solution, the industry really needs to stop the...

Yes those stats are accurate. I no longer have access to the panels as they are installed on the roof. Going to my order number, and looking up the exact system. I can confirm they are wired in series. I brought the adapters for the installer to connect in parallel and they have NOT been...

If you are producing 600 watts and consuming 550 watts you aren’t charging batteries. This makes sense. It is what I am seeing. Just like the literature out there people bounce between amp hours and watt hours, and it makes it difficult to realistically know what to expect from batteries...

4 x 200 Watt Monocrystalline Solar Panels 12V - 25-Year Power Output Warranty connected in series. They get good sun no shade for about 5 hours. If they were connected in parallel I would get more from them. Also there is the information I added about having AC also being available to...

First of all thanks for the reply. I was afraid of this. The light has been good during the day. The solar input was low (the installer said) because the panels are connected in series vs in parallel. The installer wanted to connect them in parallel but the company via a support call...

I purchased the Complete Off-Grid Solar Kit - MPP LV2424 2,400W/120V / 24VDC [2.56Kwh - 4.8Kwh Battery Bank] + 800 Watts Solar | Off-Grid, Mobile, Backup [HBK-2] × 1. I am extremely frustrated with this system as Shop Solar kits support has been extremely slow to help me and unable to really...
