      GXMnow replied to the thread PV wire guage.
      I agree, I also recommend 3 runs of #12 for this setup. #12 is fine for up to 20 amps per run, so plenty of room. I have two string in...

      GXMnow replied to the thread BMS common port vs seperate port.
      Are you sure you have the loads and charge on the correct end of the shunt? The battery needs to be the only thing on the "battery - "...

      GXMnow replied to the thread BMS common port vs seperate port.
      Actually, the common port will be less stressed than a separate port if there is charge and load current at the same time. In my system...

      GXMnow replied to the thread My solar Pergola build.
      We had a lot of rain not too long ago, so all of the panels had a good rinse and looked very clean. The amount of dirt settling on them...

      I guess I posted that a little early. Wow, as bad as yesterday looked, today was far worse. The Enphase system only ended up producing...

      I am still in contact with the Level 3 tech at Schneider (Carter Rhodes). 11 days ago, I had a very short burst of it, lasting just 10...

      GXMnow replied to the thread 12V DC air cond complete.
      14 amps at 12 volts is 168 watts. To run for 12 hours a day, that is just over 2 KWHs. That does seem very low. What is the BTU rating...
