I’m about ready to test this out. Maybe one of y’all experts can Let me know what I should change first. Be easy, it’s my first. Its a Renogy Rover 60a controller. Giandel 3000w 24v inverter. 6 LG 280w panels and a chins 24v 100ah lifepo4 battery And a 10a 12v transformer. 2/0 battery to...

This is my panels. I actually have 26 of them (about 8 years old). I also have several fuses and a shunt that I didn’t use but can easily add a fuse at the battery. I do also plan to get another battery also. i plan to wire the panels in 3S2P for 1680W and about 115v. also here are panels and extras

The PV disconnect makes sense but also brings up another question. What happens to the controller if the breaker trips on the output side of the controller with the PV hot?

Okay. I’ve read several times that connecting panels to a controller first would damage it.

looking at breakers now. 1680 watts divided by 115 volts should be about 15 amps. or does amps matter here since I have in-line fused pv connectors?

Yes, I need to figure this shunt out But this one gives you no way to mount it. I need to figure that out or get another one. Thanks again.

Yes, I would never go under, just didn’t know if going over would matter. I did not know that dc breakers were rated for different voltages though, so thanks for that ?

Added the PV breaker and have it running an upright freezer in the garage. So far I just have 3 of the 280 watt panels connected In series. Just want To see if that maintains. recorded 103voc about an hour before dark and It got dark out before I plugged in the freezer. controller was reading...
