I to understand your frustration in comprehending what is being stated by people who understand all of the ins and outs of a working system. I will try to give my perspective in simplistic terms.
1. You state that you will have 8000 watts of solar and only plan to use 6000-10.000 watts of...
AS I do not know what your actual usage is, but I was saying that if you are using 2000 watts of power then the inverter will only be able to put 260 watts into the batteries and that is only if the panels are orientated correctly and are producing 565 watts each. You need enough solar to take...
You are on the right path with the load center and 30 amp breaker hooked up to you power cord. However, you can not hook up the generator to the inverter. Your best bet would be to get a chargeverter and hook up the generator to the chargeverter. You also want at least 6 panels hooked up to the...
Have you looked at an auto transfer switch? That would eliminate the need for the manual switch, breakers and the generator disconnect. Price would be approximately $ the same.
Thanks Cabin Rising for your suggestion. I disconnected bank2 from the system and let bank1 charge and behold all came back to 100%. Disconnected bank1 and connected bank2 and let them charge to 100%. After that I connected both banks and everything is back to normal.
I guess that I answered my...
I have an 18KP invertor with 16kw solar and 12 48v lifepro batteries. Originally installed with only 6 battery pack and every thing worked great. We would run the batteries down to 30% and they would all charge to 100% with no problems. Added the second bank of 6 batteries to the system as we...
Thanks for your response. You are correct that I should have only hooked up bank2 and charged them to 100% but as mentioned above bank2 (the new batteries) are well balanced at 99 to 100%. The problem is that bank1 now has 3 batteries only registering 60 to 80% with one registering 100% and the...
