thanks a lot mate, appreciate the help a lot

I see, thank you for your input, I will go with the bus bars. Any one that you recommend or any one would do as long as the cables fit?

So diagram 1 then. Could you tell me why busbars instead of the other method?

Hello all, I need help wiring a pylontech powerbank to 2 growatt spf 5000 inverters. They need to share the same powerbank but how shoul I connect them? is it ok if I use all the terminals on the batteries and connect each pair directly to the terminals of the inverters or should I use bus bars...

Thanks a million for your answer. Right now the system will be just for backup meaning it will only run some basic stuff, but I want the upgradeability in the future, this system has the potential to be upgraded fairly seamlessly from what I have read/seen. This also means I will not be drawing...

Well for now I have 2 questions, but I don't even know what I don't know, after these two questions I am sure I will be left with two more, but I don't want to keep pestering people lol. Apart from that I am fairly sure I will not burn down the house (it is a brick house so I have that going...

Thank you for the answer, I will look into it, I will go forward with your recommendations. For now I can only afford 6 pannels but will upgrade to 8 with the recommended config (4s2p). Just 2 more questions, 1) since I have to start with these 6 should I just wire them 6s or should I do 3s2p...

Could you please go a bit more in depth about how important is amperage vs wattage or voltage? Or if you know a video I can watch on it, could you please send it my way? Is amperage more important than kWh or are they just different things? So I should first optimize battery and solar panels...

I did not know about that, my goober mind went like "light is light, so mo light mo better is is all the same". I will look into it so I can optimize as much as possible. Is there a website where I can push in my exact location and get a sunhour average? I will probably go with 6 panels then...

I see, I am a bit lower than that tough, think southern Spain. But I do see your point. Any way to mitigate this apart from adjusting the tilt angle? What difference would it be if the angle is correct solar power wise? Is the light "weaker"? Or is it a matter of panel alignment?

As I live in southern Europe winter here will go maybe to -5 Celsius, about 41 Fahrenheit, and those -5 would be a real oddity and expected to last just a couple of days. It is not uncommon for me to get 10 hours of sun even in winter. I get sun from 7 AM to 7 PM in summer and at least 5 hours...

I have actually posted what I intend to do with diagrams and stuff, please stop by and tell me what you think :) https://diysolarforum.com/threads/help-a-newb-assembling-a-system.35848/#post-450677

So, what do you think, is this a good idea? A bad one? A really bad one? Anything you would do differently?

Hi all, I am assembling a solar system and I would needs some help accessing if what I want to di is viable or if I will ending up burning down the house or frying some components. First I would rate my overall knowledge from 1 to 10 as a solid 3 (maybe 4 if I take my vitamins) so I probably...

Tank you, that is actually where I started. Later on I will post a diagram of what I intend to do, see what you guys think of it
