Hello Everyone, I have some panels from Santan Solar that Will recommends. They have been great but I really want to test them under load before putting them up on a roof. I've found that the vast majority of these panels are excellent but a few have proven to be not working quite right. They...

Hey Solar Fam, I'm trying to figure out the cheapest way to connect the most panels to the cheapest charge controllers without it being a safety nightmare. If I get an 80amp 24v charge controller and use panels ISC 9amps VOC 40v, can I... Put the panels in strings of 4 parallel using y branch...

Hi. It took me a while but finally got the generator info. It's a honda 2200. Here is the user manual. https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/60/60b2d625-30a8-454e-a5d2-5465443f6906.pdf It says right in the manual that the DC out can only be used to charge 12v batteries and has no...

Do I understand you correctly? You have 4 batteries. You connect the batteries in parallel in sets of 2. One set of 2 have a 12v charger on it. Now you want to connect the two sets in series so that you can connect your 24v inverter? I dont know if your charger will freak out, but the wiring...

Aloha Fam, Trying to help my friend get their battery bank charged from a basic gas generator. It's a 48v battery bank 200ah, sealed lead acid batteries. She does have solar but wants backup for extended cloudy days etc. She already has a little gas generator. Dont know the specs. To...

Perfect, thank you

I'm helping my friend with their solar build and they have these old rails. I don't know anything about racking, do these look familiar to anyone? Are their standard clips that connect to these to attach solar panels? Thanks so much. On my solar project I just used some basic strut from homedepot

Yes the male receptacle is exactly the type of product I need. Thank you.

No wiring in the cabin yet. Seems a plug end wired to a electrical box and then wire a cabin as usual is my best bet.

I'm talking about alternating current. Hot, neutral and ground. Do those wires exist in an extension cable... or could be created some how? Sorry for the confusion.

Hey Fam, So let's say I buy a giandel 2200w pure sine wave inverter. It's got a few places to plug in extension cords, but no place with +- terminals to actually wire a house with outlets. Can I just plug an extension cord into the inverter and then cut the extension cord open and attach the...

id just change your review back in like a week. #_(% that noise

Feels like 1000ah at 48V is potentially still not enough for what we are trying to power. I hear you on the issue of running an electric stove on solar, stupid but with all the appliances already bought and this person trying to save money maybe hmmm... I appreciate you commenting

Ok, so all 4 units I'd run at 240v split phase? What's the advantage of that over 120v single phase? I'm lacking some basic understanding of these concepts I suppose. Thank you for helping me.
