  • Are batteries needed?

    Would it be possible to instead of buying a bunch of expensive batteries to buy extra panels, sell that extra electricity to the power company, and then buy it back.

  • LV2424 Stopped working

    Hello so I've been away from my solar setup for a bit now but I left everything running and every month or so I would check on it. About a week ago when I went to check it I noticed the screen was off on my MPP LV2424, I couldn't get the screen to turn on, nor the inverter. The most I...

  • Using multiple charge controllers

    Hello everyone! I have 9, 250-watt used panels from Santan solar and 6, 100-watt solar panels and I wanted to use all of them.
