Charge controller needs more clarity I’m looking at the all-in-one 24 v charge/inverter and the 24v LifePo4 power battery unit. - (My system has to look net and clean or my wife will not let my install one) The question I have with respect to the solar panel, does the output voltage (pv) need...

I have asked a similar question on the battery "type" setting before but only got one response back then. This was back several months ago. So please forgive me for asking it again. The question could be useful to newbies to the forum. I am using the all-in-one MTTP 2424lv controller/inverter...

Does anyone know the difference between the 3KVA 2400W 24V 50A all-in-one inverter by Vikye-h sold on Amazon and the PIP 2424LV-MSD sold by MPP Solar? They look the same but without the MPP logo and one LCD display function is missing. Buying through Amazon will save a person $128 in shipping...

Just looking for a second opinion as the manual doesn’t address it. I have the MPP PIP-2424LV-MDS controller/inverter but haven’t got around to buying the Solar panels yet. Need to budget the cost in my retirement income. Right now, I have the controller on my work bend connected to the...

I think it was TicTac that told me not to be in a hurry in building my solar system. I’m glad I took his advice as my original design would have gone up in smoke or worse yet burned down the house. The goals/objectives for this project are as follows: 1 – System set up (for the moment anyway)...

Has anyone experienced their MTTP 2424Lv-PIP controller/inverter turning off for around 30 to 60 seconds then auto restart while the outside air temps are in the ’90s (95 to 100 degrees)? Any feedback or recommendations on what to look for are welcome! Comment: I removed all the background...

Found out something about a little solar system. I have the MTTP 2424LV-msd (all-in-one) controller/inverter. Up until this time I have been using a 140-watt fan or 100-watt heat lamp as my load from my 2424lv. For several months the 2424lv has been sitting on my workbench in my hanger and...

What setting to choose in Option #1 – controller 2424lv With respect to the MTTP PIP-2424lv-MSD all-in-one controller/inverter there are three settings in Option #1 (Output source priority) – SOL, UE1, and 56U. I am not going to discuss UE1 as it relates to Solar and Battery to supply energy to...

I recently purchased the PIP-2424LV-MSD charge controller and it seems I need to have a battery(s) (24v) connected to the battery input port on the controller before the controller will turn on. I just want to turn the controller on while it is sitting on my workbench, so I can hear how loud the...

Got a fast question: I notice that no one chats about the Sungoldpower 6000w-48v TP6048 all-in-one controller/inverter. I bought one about 4 months back, but just now getting to set it up. Although it doesn't require batteries, I want to set it up as off grid as I cannot have grid tie in my...

Done a little research on solar Panel Grades. What's everyone's opinion between buying Grade A or Grade B panels - assuming one is not super-rich! Thiers obvious a price difference. But what about performance? Should one totally stay away from Grade B panels? Is there a high risk of getting...

For the last few days, my email box has been bombarded with notifications messages from our group. when I click on them to view, I get a message that says Opps not found. I'm just wondering if our group has been hacked?

I've noticed that there is a lot of posts (let's call it chatter) relating to running water pumps on Solar with respect to the controllers they want to use. The question I have with respect to my 2424lv-mds (MPP) the manual says that the controller is good for 2.4kw and can handle 2 times this...

My solar project is still on the workbench. I have the all-in-one MPP PIP-2424lv-mds controller/inverter. Up to this point, I thought the solar panels charged the batteries directly. But after doing some more reading of the 2424lv setting, and pulling my head out of my butt, I’m starting to...

A curiosity question! Over the last 30 months that I have been in this group and watching tons of youtube videos by Will P and others, I note they are all using 2 or more inverters/converters in parallel. The question I have, if one controller can handle you house load, why would I need more...

2 August 2020 – 12 Battery equalization and Voltage (2 batteries) That I would sure my battery equalization procedure. Today I thought I would take my (2) 12volt batteries I found in the throw-away/recycle bin out at my local airport to do my MPP testing. I’ve been testing the MPP to see how...

I have not bought my batteries yet, but just doing research. With respect to the 24V LiFePO4, the specs say they can handle Maximum Continuous Charge Current: 130A @ 25℃ and the same for discharge current - Maximum Continuous Discharge Current: 130A @ 25℃. Can Lithium batteries really handle...

Well powers has done tons of recordings on All-In-One inverter/controllers but it would take hours to rewatch all of them again. So, I would like to ask a question of these controllers. I’ve been using the MPPT 2424lv for two years, but I need to get a different one because to use the 2424lv I...

My Solar project update: Still plagued with two issues with my solar controller. One (you can almost set your watch by it) at about 3:05 pm +/- 5 minutes, the utility kicks on to supply power to the house and the solar and battery currents drop to zero. There is no reason for this to happen as...

Without running a low dc battery voltage test and take the change of hurting my controller/inverter, I thought I would ask the question first. I have the all-in-one MPP 2424lv-mds controller/inverter. What does the controller do or what damage can be down to a controller/inverter in the middle...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the group and first-time post. I've watched a ton of DIY videos as know nothing about solar systems. But I have a reverse issue with respect to an Auto Transfer unit. I need a unit that is on Grid power by default and when I lose Grid power (that happens several times a...

I'm thinking about buying a MPP all-one-one (PIP -2424Lv-MSD) off of eBay. eBay as a 2-year protection plan from square Trade for $39. The question is has anyone with an MPP converter experience any problems with them and if not, what's your opinion about the protection plan, - is it just a...

LV2424 MPPT Controller not working like it used too for over a year. I think my lv2424 controller is not working like it used too. Two months back, the Utility was suppling power to the house when in theory, it should have been both the solar and battery only. I noticed today during some...
