heres what i have, 4---3.2 volt in series to make 12 volts, but they, but hey are only 25a hours each, so i wanted o add a 3.2 volt, 45 ah battery in paralell to the last battry to up the ahours, any problem doing it like this

so i 3rd of a day on 50ah

im noy getting in touch with utility, this is on my own,trial and error, can only have 2 panels on shed roof, have to hide

fridge,couple lights, lights are led, maybe 15 wats,maybe tv. tv should be about 150 watts,, my fridge uses according to killowatt meter fridge uses 140 watts,,1.3 amps when running,fridge uses 1.96 kwh in 24 hours

thanks, thats what i thought, looking for 12 volts total for a inverter,power out emergency only

ok, seing as i have 8-batteries, 25ah each, i suppose i could wire 2 in parralel, then wire 4x2 packs in series and that would give me 50 ah i think

if i run in parralel first i raise amp hours, or just wire in series to get my 12 volts and not worry about it, power out emergency only

well it doesnt matter but 4,1 gets reveresed,so 3neg, and then 1 positive, how do battery packs charge properly when the pos and neg are reversed on the same end to add voltage,when you look at some battery packs,both the pos and neg have a strap across them and spot welded to increase voltage

ok,lets say im building packs from 18650 cells,, so i reverse one to get 12 volts,now when i charge what happens to the 2 thats reversed,ill have a neg on the pos end, will this work, i see a lot of packs built in things like this, especially laptop batteries, and medical stuff

ok, so the output would only be what the panel is outputting, so in a cloudy day i may only get 100 watts output,it just will never go over the 200 watt panel max

ok,hyper thetical question, lets say i have a 200 watt panel. and a 400 watt micro inverter, 220 volt out put, line 1 and line 2 with neutral. all other aside from loss, sun,ect, does a micro inverter put out 200 watts per line if i am only putting 200 watts, will my inverter put out 200 watts...

may have to forget about all of this, like my ex boss said, if the utility even sees a reverse flow or feedback for a split second, even if the belt just slips on the cooler pulley, for a micro second, the utility will see it and know somethings up, and like he said, techniclly it might work...

kinda yes, that thread got to long and to many rude and irrelevant omments, read this,read that, dont know what im doing ect, so i gave up on it and i believe i asked will to deelete it, but i have changed a few things and a few pices of the install after i been reading like everybody wanted me...

thanks, i was looking at their site and couldnt find any pdfs to read or download,

ok, what if i connected the ac lines to the bottom of the panel phases,by a 240 breaker, would it be simple to assume that thwe little extra would flowinto the swamp cooler or anything else and boost the current so the appliance uses it most or all be fore it even gets to the main breaker out...
