I have a Giandel KAR 2200W inverter with the low voltage specs of 9.5 volts, this will this hurt my 230Ah LiTime battery, which has a 11.0 low volt setting I have tried asking Giandel about this but no answer. I think I can use a Delay Timer Switch, AC/DC 12V~ (Power Off Delay）triggered by a...

I was just reading your tag line on your system. Impressive! Mine was just a curiosity about what can I do. We purchased a new tractor, which means needing a barn, which the zoning board nixed So I ended up having to downsize to a small sized cabin style barn. There again, zoning wouldn't let me...

24.3v on the VOC and all -6- panels are the samer age & specs. I chose parallel due to an adjancet woods, I get some shading but I do have at least 4 1/2 panesl in full sun for about 5 hours

Ha! ask me how I know how fase fuses work, I failed to cover my panel before doing my amp checks & I blew a fuse, they do work and as far as circuit breakers, I use those inside on my main board. I do like that i can also use the CBs as switches when needed. These new CBs seem to be more robust...

Thanks, I currently have -5- panels attached using the branch connectors, from Renogy Each line is fused by a 15 amp inline fuse My issue with these branch connectors is it looks like a rats nest! Works but is ugly I have been following a youTuber, Kelleys and he has a series on combiner boxes...

I am currently looking at adding two more 100W renogy panels to my existing -4-, renogy panels 100W panels in order to get to 600W All cabled in parallel My Rover Elite RNG-CTRL-RVR40 has the following specs: Rated Solar Input Power 12V battery @ 520W, Maximum Solar Input Voltage (Voc) 100V DC...

I unplugged each panel & verified that they are producing voltage, the average across all -4- panels is 23.5v, at the end of line it dropped tp 20v The DC app shows: battery at 77%, BULK charge, medium User load of 12 amps Solar Volts: 19.4 Solar Amps: 3.04 Solar Power : 59W Total Energy...

As a follow up, I removed each panel's leads & they are outputting18v to 22v & I ran a continuity check on the -4- fuses (one for each panel's +lead) They checked ok I then turned off my PV system, ran the battery down to 20%, turned off the battery, reset the Renogy 500RMB monitor to -0- then...

I hadn't thought of like that. I am trying to wrap my head around my system because I think my amps are too low. I am currently running a Renogy 400W system that was one of their sales promotion, My current power production, is 5A, on it's best day. (15.8a below what they are rated) ( 2/1/24)...

Yes, I need to move it or delete it

I am unsure where the New 'Thread' section is, that's why I asked about over paneling

Sorry, I am new to how these forums work, just as I am new to solar arrays. I am a parts/ pieces guy & am currently learning the theory of solar & the interaction of the parts

I am currently running a Renogy 400W system that was one of their sales promotion, My current power production, is 5A, on it's best day. (15.8a below what they are rated) ( 2/1/24) Renogy Panel Specs; 100 x -4- = 400 watts of solar panels / 13.6 battery voltage, -4- panels x 5.21a = 20.84...

I purchased -2- of the diesel heaters. Mounted one permanently & set the second one up as a portable. For the permanently mounted heater I purchased a power supply and a AGM battery for the 12v power feed. For the 2nd heater, portable, I am using the 12v feed off of my solar battery bank

The ATS controller will switch to grid power when batteries voltages are lower than cut off point, it will switch back to battery power when the batteries voltage are higher than recovery point. Not good if the Giandel is powered on Grid is = On Inverter is = On Charger will be Off ~~ Grid is...
