    Will this setup work? (3 panels to a "solar ready" RV port)

    I just noticed the Jackery connector says it connects the panels in series. I should have caught that last night, sorry! ?‍♂️ Mounting the controller inside should be easy-peazy.

    Will this setup work? (3 panels to a "solar ready" RV port)

    The output of each panel is an 8MM barrel connector. They’d like to keep that connector as they’ll also occasionally use the panels with a Jackery solar generator in addition to the camper. They already own the combiner. I’m guessing using it would be the easiest way to run the panels in...

    Will this setup work? (3 panels to a "solar ready" RV port)

    An acquaintance of mine is looking to connect three Jackery SolarSaga 100 solar panels to their new camper that has a Zamp "solar ready" port on the side. I'd appreciate any feedback on the proposed setup below, please. Thank you!!! Panels: Jackery SolarSaga 100 x3 Link...

    Why Victron, why?

    If permitting is required, some AHJ only allow UL-certified/listed equipment.

    Libby Zhong--Docan Technology. Something strange

    Browsing to efestpower.com, it redirects to docanpower.com. Wonder if Libby just has an old email address? Def. shouldn't hurt anything to ask for an explanation.

    "Ford secures battery supplies for 600,000 EVs a year from 2023"

    I’m curious about that. Which AZ power company is yours?

    "Ford secures battery supplies for 600,000 EVs a year from 2023"

    Many home charges are “smart”. People come home, plug in, and charging doesn’t start until super late night/early morning when grid demand is at the lowest. Do AZ utilities not have TOU rate plans, where consumers pay more for electricity during the evening hours when demand is the highest...

    Victron MPPT app readings

    If you click through your Amazon orders, you should be able to view the 'Order Details' and see the "Sold by" information. A year after buying mine from Amazon, I needed to have it replaced. I found that mine was Sold by "inverters-R-US". While I did send them an email through Amazon's...

    North Carolina HOA Help

    Googling around, I've run across several articles that make the point this one does: https://cedarmanagementgroup.com/north-carolina-solar-installations/

    North Carolina HOA Help

    Is the ARB using the section below to justify their decision? If HOAs fall under what you posted, it reads to me like it says they can't deny you from installing solar totally, but do have a say on location/screening. "(b) This section does not prohibit an ordinance regulating the location or...

    Teej's Honda Element Tiny RV

    There should be a thread on the forums here with the user manual for that BMS. This is NOT for your BMS (it's from Overkill's) but the visual matches the description above (except I think they meant to say the red should be on your main positive, not main negative). For sure do the test...

    Energy Audit makes me feel overwhelmed...

    From reading your other thread, is this energy audit for your 720sq shop?

    Residential pump house backup

    It may not be so impractical, but with only "rough napkin math" done because the answers to questions below aren't known, nobody knows for sure. @pvdude's reply was interesting to me. Looks like his pump runs for about 10 minutes total a day and if I was guessing, the startup surge (inrush...
