I would like to us excess power during the summer months to heat my domestic water. What are the pros and cons? Should I go directly from my 48 V system or through the inverter 120 V? It is currently set up for 120v.

I just came across a YouTube video on clipping. I've never heard of it before. It may not be an issue for me but I'm looking for advice. What are my options and is it worth it? I have a magnum 4400 w inverter and 8910 w of solar panels. The main reason for so many panels is to get more power...

Hello, I wired in a relay to do a solar water heater dump. I hooked up a Whizzbang Junior to my mid night classic charge controller. In order to do this, I shut the entire system down and now I can’t get the inverter to start back up. thank you

I have 4 AGM batteries that wore out after 3.5 years of light use. Before they died I bought 8 more (before I realized AGMs are junk). The newer set is only two yrs. old and is already showing signs of death. Are they worth anything? If not where should I dispose of them? Thank you!

I just bought 6 EG4 batteries and have a magnum inverter charger. MAGNUM ENERGY, MS4448PAE, 4400 WATT, 48V, PARALLEL INVERTER/60 AMP PFC CHARGER/120V/240V INPUT/OUTPUT Is this a big issue? I'm told I could set up the parameters for Lithium batteries but it doesn't have a bms to communicate...

Hello, I have a 4400 W magnum inverter charger with a mini panel. This is my main panel so it is grounded to the earth. The main panel is located in my attached garage. I have a sub panel for the house AC and another sub panel/remote panel in an outbuilding that is about 50 feet from the...

Hello, I currently have a 4500 W Magnum inverter and mini panel with two 150 midnight classic charge controllers. I have 9000 w of solar panels, 48 v system, completely off grid. We use 3 to 7 kwh/day (more with the dump load). I am considering buying an inverter that will communicate with my...

I ordered one from automation direct but was told it was on backorder and wouldn’t be here until the end of July. I found one, but the website looked a little fishy. Thank you

Do you recommend enabling arc fault and ground fault, protection on a midnight classic cc? Why or why not? Will this protect everything (A/C and D/C)? Thank you

Some of what this guy says sounds true but at the same time it seems like he Is exaggerating and how damaging your generator can be to your inverter and home appliances. He must not be referring to a inverter generator? Just wondering if this product is worth it or if it’s a gimmick. Please...

I just switched over to 6 eg4 lifepo batteries from AGMs. What changes do I make in my two midnite classic charge 150 controllers? How about in my magnum inverter (which can't communicate with the BMS in the batteries? I changed the float and absorb numbers but not sure what else needs to be...

If the attached chart is accurate should I charge my lithium batteries to 70% and only drain them down to 20? I would like to get as many life cycles as possible. Thank you

I notice a big price difference between some Lithium Batteries?? Is the more expensive one better in any way? https://backwoodssolar.com/product/eclipse-48v-100ah-ver-2-lifepo4-battery/ Verses https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-ll-lithium-battery-48v-100ahd Thank you!

Can I use a 1000-watt 48-volt (21 amp) element if It currently has a 120 V element in it? I have two questions if I replace the 120 V element with the 48 V 1000 W would that work/be safe? Also, would I need to change the thermostat/could the thermostat handle the amperage? Who would sell these...

Hello, I am upgrading my battery bank from AGM to LPO. I have 6 48v 100ah eg4 batteries. I currently have 2/0 (that I'm using for my agms) cable between batteries and 4400w Magnum inverter. Before the inverter, I have Magnum’s mini panel which includes a 175 a breaker to protect the inverter...

Hello, I bought some phone cables on Amazon and hook up the charge controllers to the follow me configuration in the manual. My first charge controller is a 150 SL and the second charge controller is a 150. The first cable goes from the out port to the in port on the second charge controller...
