    Thank you! Based on your info, I might consider upgrading or adding (batteries) to the setup just to be safe. I'm still learning but this is a start. Thank you again.

    Gotcha. I will definitely purchase at least 4 more 100 panels making it 800 watts. I'm considering building a system once I know and understand the components needed. And then the Bluetti can be my emergency backup.

    Newbie here. This is the first time I'm going solar and bought a Bluetti AC200 (35-150V/Max.12A, Max.700W) and 4 x 100 watts panels (still waiting for arrival). I live in Los Angeles and have a shed that I want to off grid. It is shaded half of the day (sun blocked by an apartment) and I don't...

    I still haven't got the answers needed. I also have 4 HQST 100w panels. We are in the same state of confusion on breakers, combiner box, and busse, etc... Hopefully, someone can help us. I did purchased a 90 amp circuit breaker 12v-48v dc to connect from the positive wire battery. I think...

    I think I know where the 150 Amp came from. Based on the Growatt manual, the recommended breaker on 1 unit of the Growatt (model 3DVA/24V), is 150A/32VDC. What are using to bring both batteries in the same SOC? Are you planning on just going with the ac plug for the input and output? I haven't...

    Hoping to get the correct set up. I have watched a lot of Will Prowse’s video (as well as bought the book) and other youtubers but it’s too advance for my solar brain to understand. I have purchased and would like to install a 24v (2 x 12volt in series) 206AH SOK battery with an all in one...

    I want to purchase 4 more panels, which will make it 8 total. How do I connect the 8 panels as 4 series and 2 parallel and what connectors would I need?

    Will do. Thank you!
  • Post in thread: Set up advice

    Nice to confirm that we don't need any bus. As far as the breaker, I'm trying to understand why 150 amp. Just trying to figure out where he got the number from so I can get a better understanding. I do prefer the Anderson connection between the pv panels to the Growatt but now the question is...

    Sounds good. I ordered the 4 gauge. Thank you!
