Thanks! Good idea using the nails! I will try that! To Tom Thumb: there are 8 panels wired in series. My main concern is spending the money to buy the all in one and a big battery only to find that I can’t separate the PV’s 90+ feet from the all in one and battery. As long as I can do that I’m...

Thanks to everyone for your help!

Ok, I have the tool but it is difficult to separate them. I thought maybe there was some kind of breaker? It won’t hurt the system to undo them while the sun is out? And reconnect them?

Thank you! I have another solar system with 8-230a PV’s, 6-225AH sealed LA batteries, a 3000W PSW inverter and a Midnight Classic 150 charge controller. What size battery cable and what size breaker should I have between the inverter and the batteries?

Sir, I didn’t know that 2/0 and 2/0 AWG wire were different. I found some 2/0 AWG in red and black for a decent price. Do you think this would be enough to run my 1800W tabletop induction cooktop with my Renogy 2000 PSW inverter? With a 250A breaker? My local welding shop has 2/0 welding cable...

How about having the all in one/battery 90’ away From the PV’s?

Hello, I liked Will Prowse’s YouTube videos about mounting an EG4 all in one and a Trophy battery on a Harbor Freight dolly. Could I have a dolly like that 100’ from my solar panels and then run 50’ 120V extension cords from the power strip to my fridge and freezer? Is there a way to disconnect...

I checked my system and it has #4 wires. Where do you recommend buying #2 wires at the lowest price? Thank you!

HelloY I want to buy the EG4 all in one 48V system with the Trophy battery on the Harbor Freight dolly like the one in Mr. Prowse’s youtube video but my House is surrounded by trees. I have 8-230W Sunpower panels mounted on a 16’ cargo trailer in the spot with the most sun (5-6 hours) but...

Hello, I built a portable solar system with 2-250W PV’s, a 40a Renogy Rover, a Renogy 2000W PSW inverter and 2-200? AH gel golf cart batteries. I tried to use an 1800W tabletop induction stove to cook but the inverter alarm came on within 30 seconds and the 100a inline breaker tripped. Why...

Thank you! What size fuse should I have?

Thank you sir!

Ok, thanks again to everyone for your help! the Sunpower PV’s are 230E-WHT-D. Peak power (Pmax) ((+5/-3%)=230 Voltage VOC=40.5 Shirt Circuit (isc)=6.05 Current (Imp)=5.68 The EG4 3KW/3000EHV-48 all in one: 3000W input, 5000 WPW 500VOC input A/C output 120V Can I have the 8 panels 125’ from...

The system Will Prowse used in his video and I want is EHV-48, 3000W output, 5000W PV input, 500 VOC input. the Sunpower panels are 230E-WH-D with VMP of 40.5, Current (IMP) of 5.68, VOC of 48.2, ISC of 6.05.

What PV disconnect do you recommend?

I’m sorry if I posted wrong. This was the first time I have used this forum, it’s a little confusing.

Signature Solar now has newer and bigger “All in one” inverter/charge controller/chargers. Is the yellow one Will used still recommended for a Dolly mounted system?

I have another question: Is it true that both the positive and negative wires going from the inverter to the battery must be exactly the same length?

Hello and thanks for answering! The VOC of the Sunpowers is 40.5. I am completely ignorant about 48V systems but was told that I could probably have 10-230’s with the EG4? (Will Prowse said on the video to use a minimum of 3-400W PV’s). I am replacing a 12V system and I don’t know the answers to...
