Has anyone tried these? Just wondering if they actually work. I was wondering what to do with extra energy from the panels I have.

So have been running pretty consistent with power generated from my panels to my water heating element. A few days ago, one bank of panels have almost tripped power out put to the element while the other bank is still producing the same. 36 volt - 2400 watt dual element. Three panels hooked to...

So I have been in solar for a while. Very happy using EPevers 40 and 60 amp controllers and Giandel 4000/ 8000 watt inverters. A friend of mine wanted a little help putting a small system in a deer cabin. The question is there a reason to go with like a Growatt instead of a split unit...

1. When you add up your stated solar array on your panels, what do you actually get in the real world? I have 4- 305 watt panels polycrystalline on one array on the roof, 41 open circuit volts, 7.4 amps. Total array should yield 1220 watts. Max i am getting by the solar controller is about 920...

Just tell me to shut up when you get tired of the questions. This application is on a home. 1. My batteries charge very quickly where my setup goes to float mode and stops charging, 24 volt system. Seems like I am wasting a lot of free potential energy. What can I do with it? I do not have...

Looking to see what is the better auto battery disconnect like a Victron. 24 volt that will come off a 2P/2S battery setup to feed a 4000 watt pure sine wave inverter.. 4- 100 ah batteries. Just looking what to look at and what to stay away from. Blue tooth not really needed.

Can some one post correct pic of the correct wiring for 6 -12 volt batteries wired for 24 volts. I thought mine was correct but woke up this morning to 2 batteries dead killing the inverter. The other 4 batteries are still at 13 + volts. The bms shut off the two dead batteries at a little over...

I have heard that you cannot use volts in checking LPO4 charge state. What is the proper way/tool in checking battery levels in an individual battery or battery bank?

I have got two , 24 volt, 4000 watt pure sine wave inverters on two separate controllers and two separate battery banks. If I decided to sell the two inverters and go with one split phase, 120/240, 5000 to 8000 watt, either 24 or 48 volt inverter, what would be the best choice? Low stand by...

I tried to join this site a few weeks ago. It has been a little frustrating. The first email address I used, I never got a response to. SBCGLOBAL.net extension. I tried to have it resend the info multiple times. The same with an ATT.net extension, no response. Today I used my work email and...

Hi, I am new to the site and to solar. I just finished phase 1 to my solar project. 4, 305 watt panels, EPever 40 amp solar controller, MT50 programmer, Giendel 4000-8000 watt pure sine wave inverter, 2- 100 amp Battleborn batteries in series for 24 volt feed. This is hooked up to my house...

So i have been feeding my hot water heater with straight pv to a DC water heating element for a while. I have been trying to use a temp controller to keep water temps below 150 degrees. Works good and sometimes too good. With longer summer days my pv panels on the west side of my house generate...

So i have these 60 amp breakers that are tripping at 29 amps. Have them on the lines coming from the solar charger to the batteries using 4awg strand wire. Breaker heats up but wires wire is cool. Just bad design of breakers or something else?

Just seeing what may be good or bad inverters on the market in the 6000 to 8000 watt range?

So I have been running two stand alone systems (4-300 watt panels-40 amp/24 volt controllers-4000/8000 inverters) through a manual transfer box for about a year now with great results on my home. I am thinking of upgrading to a 220 setup because my well pump is 220. What would be options of...

So i am a little OCD. I have 2p,2s array. I need to add a panel. Is it ok to add a fifth panel of the same make? Make it either series or parallel as long as i stay within controller watts or voltage?

Been over 100 for a while now. Solar components taking a beating melting. Panels all tested ok. Replaced fuse assembly and branch T. Working ok again. Was only pushing 56 volts and 15 amps, wire 8 guage.
