    Inverter died suddenly

    Thanks The seller has offered to test and diagnose for free, I just need to pay shipping. I might try this first, but I hope it's an easy fix like you are suggesting. I wish I could solder. Thanks Lee

    Inverter died suddenly

    Hi guys I'm really sorry, I didn't get a notification that anyone had responded. Unfortunately the unit is no longer under warranty and the company want £70 before even fixing it. The unit is a conversol mpp solar hybrid 1.2kw.12v system with dual mppt inverter. Visually I cannot see any...

    Inverter died suddenly

    Hi guys I have a 1.2kw hybrid off grid inverter. Around 6 month's ago it kept making a high frequency noise and then went away. In October I went to turn on the inverter and it was dead. The battery is 100%, the solar input is fine. I tried connecting 240v power to the input on the 240v...

    Mixing different wattage panels in series

    So from what I've learnt so far mixing the panels in a series will simply add the voltages together but keep the Amps at the lowest rate. So I've got a 150w panel at 18v and 8.43a, a 320w panel at 32v and 10a, im going to be adding up the 32 and 18 which is 50v, and the total amps current would...

    Moving from off grid solar to tie grid or hybrid?

    Hi guys Hi I want to use my solar with a tie grid inverter and if possible run it with my current off grid, but dont think thats possible. I have been doing my research and using my 150w and 320w solar panels in a series I will have a total maximum circuit voltage of 62.9v. The spec of the...

    adding a 320w panel to a 160w system

    hi guys To cut a long story short I'm keeping my 160w panel setup as is, buying a new 320w panel and I am now thinking of getting rid of my inverter and having it housed in the same room as the battery. For the 320w panel I was thinking of this MPPT and inverter all in one, will this work...

    adding a 320w panel to a 160w system

    ahh so your saying PWM cannot convert the higher volts into amps, get ya. so if the panel was like 30 amps then it would have been fine. :-)

    adding a 320w panel to a 160w system

    Sorry you've confused me. The wanderer is 30a to charge 12v system (360w) it will also accept up to a max input 400w from the solar panel which in my case will be a 320w. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124948729943 Current Rating:30A Maximum Input Power:400W System Voltage:12 VDC Product...
