  • Post in thread: Maximum Solar

    I purchased the MPP 1012LV from Maximum Solar, which seems to be MPP's own store, or at least is linked directly from MPP's site. $254 plus $29 shipping from the US site -- the Taiwan site appears cheaper but comes with $119 shipping, making the US site faster and cheaper. The device came in...

    Awesome, thank you! And @sunshine_eggo, I will set the shutoff to prevent BMS protection, good advice. This forum rocks.

    $254 is the Taiwan site, which comes with $118 shipping. $299 is the US location, which comes with $29 shipping to NY state.
  • Post in thread: MPP 1012LV Settings

    FIrst, thanks to this forum for giving me the courage and knowhow to install this device. I want to check my logic. I'm using the MPP 1012LV with two Li Time 100Ah batteries in parallel, which have BMS, and two Renogy 200W panels in series. The load (Starlink + two trail cameras) averages...
  • Post in thread: Small system to power starlink and cameras off grid

    Thank you! I apologize for not being clear. I am powering <50W. The key feature is that it is unattended and storms mean that sometimes the system will shut down power output to protect the battery. Once solar power is restored and the battery charges, I need the system to restart power...

    Maximum solar, https://maximumsolar.online/product/pip-1012-lv-ms/, appears to be MPP's official store. Anyone bought from them and have feedback? I would be happy to support Will Prowse's affiliate links, and will on the Amazon stuff, but this site is $299 + ~$28 shipping

    The thing I really want to check is that I can run it fully unattended, meaning that if a storm lets it run out of battery power and not recharge right away, it shuts of the AC power output, and then, when it is recharged by solar, will automatically turn on the AC power without human...
  • Post in thread: Small system to power starlink and cameras off grid

    I have am off grid cabin north of Utica, NY that I can't reach from around Dec 1 to May 1. It gets very cold, so I shut off the inverter when I leave for the season. I'm seeking to power starlink and 2 trail cameras over the winter when I'm not present. Together these draw about 35 watts...
  • Post in thread: MPP PIP-1012LV have auto-restart?

    Does the MPP PIP-1012LV have auto-restart? That is, if the battery shuts down because it has inadequate power/low voltage, and the grid is not available and there is inadequate solar, and then solar energy recharges the battery, will the controller start supplying power again? I ask for use in...
