Thanks, this clears things up a bit. I guess it really comes down to heat and voltage loss then. Copper.org's table is 30C over 40C ambient... that's pretty darn hot! I just purchased 36" of 1/8 - 3/4 for less than $30 shipped, I don't anticipate much more than 100A but should help keep things...

I'm running 8x230 cells in series, max continuous is .5 capacity, so 115A continuous if the battery is full capacity. Normal loads will be more in the 70-90 range, but since I'm running a 3000W inverter I want to make sure my wiring is capable of at least 125A (24v) with some room for surge or...

Anyone know where I can pick up a single 350W - 450W panel here in Denver? The solarpanelstore switched to MOQ of 4 recently, now I'm back to looking for a supplier.

I understand that I can't use the inverter to it's full potential. I don't need it either. My biggest appliance is a 1800W induction stove top, which I'd rather not run on a 2000W inverter. Main thing is I'm nervous about the potential stress that size inverter can put on the system. My...

I'm trying to decide if I should build my own busbars (for higher ampacity) or if the bars that came with my 230AH cells are worth using. I'm noticing conflicting calculators (top 2 google results) and wondering if anyone can help explain the differences: This site lists a 1/8 by 3/4 copper...
