  • Wire Question for 24VDC

    When reading about wire for 12V, 24V, and 48V DC circuits, I almost always see folks using "Battery Cable" or "Welding Lead Cable". I know that these cables are very flexible and can carry a lot of amps for their size. However, I have several spools of 10AWG - 19 Strand THHN (PVC inner...
  • Thinking about getting a 24V PWM Charge Controller...

    Thinking about getting a 24V 60Amp PWM Charge Controller as a backup to my MPPT controller. My Battery Bank is 24v-96ah LiFePO4, 2s6p. Battery mfg recommends 14.4v-14.8v charge voltage with 10A charge current per 12v battery ==> 28.8v-29.6v charge voltage with 10amp charge current per 2s-24v...
  • Battery/Panel Specs and Selecting MPPT Charge Controller

    I now have a 24V x 96Ah Battery Bank: 12 x 12V x 16Ah LiFePO4 batteries wired in a 2S6P configuration. Also, for this battery bank, I have 6 x 250W Panels: Vmp = 30.3V, Voc = 37.6V and Imp = 8.27A, Isc = 8.85A. My plan is to wire them 3S3P for 90V x 16.5A nominal to the charge controller...
  • Battery Basics Question

    I plan to use two 12v Deep Cycle AGM batteries in series for 24v system. If the batteries are rated for 30Ahrs each, I believe that means that I can still get 30Ahrs at 24v, yes? Also, what will be the typical state of charge (SOC?) when/if I hit the 30Ahr? 50% charge? I "assume" -...
  • Proposed Pump System Design/Schematic

    Please see the attached Schematic-Photo. Should all be self explanatory. Questions: 1. What size should my MPPT be? 2. Can an MPPT be "Oversize" electrically, or is that just an excessive cost thing? 3. How to properly connect the 24V marine alternator/engine to the system? - Should I wire it...
  • Double Wire - Double Fuse?

    Want to double up on 8AWG wire to carry 24v-100A to inverter. These are essentially two parallel conductors. Assuming I want 100A total fusing, can I use a 50A Maxi Fuse in each 8AWG wire? Each 8AWG wire will be same length and same connector on each end. My gut tells me the answer to this...
  • 24VDC Solar and System Design

    Hello Everyone. I'm not a complete newbie to DC systems, but new to "Off-Grid" type systems. Let me start off with some basic comments: 1) I have a family member that is T1D (Type-1 Diabetic), and their insulin must be stored in cool box (ice-chest or refrigerator). 2) We live in an area...
