  • Post in thread: Confusion regarding SMA product

    the new SMA Automatic Backup Unit (ABU) is a truly integrated solution for whole home backup power. The ABU consists of several components. The first is a 200 Amp rated contactor, which automatically disconnects the home energy system from grid power during a power outage...
  • Post in thread: Placement of bypass diodes

    Bypass diodes are connected in parallel with modules, a photovoltaic cell or panel to shunt the current around it.

    Is there 77-80 volts at the MPP solar input terminals?

    post your settings for each program particularly 02-maximum charging current 10- operation logic 11-maximum utility charging current 12,13,16,23,26,27 is battery type user? then 32 also Where are you reading this 60 Watts and 80 Watts you're referring to? PV power?

    Cannot imagine riding a scooter 28 miles at 4 below zero.
  • Post in thread: Placement of bypass diodes

    Your attached white board drawing leaves a lot to be desired. You seem to have drawn diodes connected across two different strings; that is not correct. Most everyone explained bypass diodes are "built-in". Here's a photo: What panels are you (going to) using? Manufacturer & model number...

    sure it will be fine
  • Post in thread: 60V solar array for MPP pip 2724LV

    Page 7 of its manual describes the PV module selection process; the unit can handle up to 600 watts of PV.
  • Post in thread: Inverter

    NO, NO, NO. Four 12 volt batteries in series is 48 volts. That's where your question started. Wire the 4 batteries in parallel; they'll be 12 volts like your inverter.
  • Post in thread: Growatt 3000TL LVM 48v - Parallel Single Phase?

    You are trying to Parallel operate in single phase? You have parallel boards, parallel communication cables and current sharing cables installed? Something like this? Is program 23 set to PAL on both units? Have you commissioned the units as Master and Slave? Have you followed these 6 steps?
  • Post in thread: 6KW DIY Solar System Installation

    I copied it from your post #1; reading and comprehension are important.
  • Post in thread: I keep losing power!

    Should we start guessing now?
  • Post in thread: Can someone recommend a DC Switch for my 24v 1400w system?

    seems like you have PV wires connected to charge controller battery terminals. In series PV voltages add (not currents). 15 amp Square D QO breaker would be good for PV disconnect QO220, 2-pole.
  • Post in thread: Off grid system build.

    Your welcome. Do you have a question?
  • Post in thread: Changing Program Options in the 2424LV

    The communists there will soon "hold the production of resources collectively" and reallocate YOUR generator and solar product "to the benefit of equality and strong social communities". Best of luck.
  • Post in thread: What else do I need to get this going?

    I believe the maximum DC input voltage for your LV5048 is 145 volts. Four of your panels in series can produce (4 x 37.6) x 1.2 = 180.5 volts; not good. 1.2 is a low temperature correction factor. You will have to limit panels to 3 in series (3 x 37.6) x 1.2 =135.5 volts; OK, now. Your...

    Consider pulling the cover off inverter and spray with dielectric grease, if available. https://www.crcindustries.com/products/dielectric-grease-10-wt-oz-03082.html

    Is this an LV5048? What is your setting on Program #28?

  • Post in thread: Total Newbie Questions

    How much power do they require and for how long?
  • Post in thread: Error code 88 parallel settings are not set.

    One unit (no parallel) operation all parallel ID dip switches should be off.
  • Post in thread: Critter Cam - Thought it was simple - now I'm here

    OK, you have a RBL-60A solar charge controller, you can connect all 3 batteries in parallel (+ to + to +) and (- to - to -) you have 1 100 watt PV panel (don't mix panels) connect like this:

  • Post in thread: Need information on going off grid with my chicken/duck coops

    So the poultry hobby consumes 6.4kWh/day Accounting for losses 8kWh/day For lead acid batteries divide that by .5, getting 16,000 Watt hours per day Divide that by battery voltage (hopefully 48V.) getting 334 Ah (amp hours) Multiply that by how many days you could be without sun, let's say 3.5...

    Are you saying the Sol-Ark programmed/changed your battery capacity, in battery setup from 183 to 203 Ah on its own?
  • Post in thread: Double diagonal parallel connection???

    Diagonally =What? Batteries connect in series or parallel; no diagonal.
  • Post in thread: Splitting hairs, I know but, using the 3000EHV-48 and (3) 43.5 Voc ?

    Minimum PV voltage is 120VDC, should work but another panel may be wise.
