Hopefully that's all it was, checking all of my other connections now on both builds. All seem to be tight. Doesn't mean one didn't loosen up though. Once I get home, that breaker will be dissected and see both probabilities. Thanks for your input!

I should add, this happened during a heat wave we had here in CA, 105 degree day, nothing to terrible, but a hot day for sure. Did not affect my 24v side or my other 10 panel setup on my other build that is much higher amps.

I have gunned it every month since it was a new build. Kind of a self assurance to myself i do with a new build. Never saw any issues there. The wire was nice and flat, well screwed in. I'm going to do what BentlyJ recommended, and tear apart the breaker when I get back home. See if it was...

I'll have to tear it apart tonight and look inside for sure. I'd like to solve the issue, well at least get to the root, so I don't run into this again. Throwing a lower amp breaker on for now, since I don't need a 100a. I was planning to increase wire guage and add some more panels once i...

I have in line fuses between my panels and my 24v and 48v panels separated. The breaker did not pop! I smelled a foul electrical burning and found this in my feed in panel. None of my other breakers were burnt up, just this one. It was burnt up on the side that goes to my SCC. I was able to flip...

Well, after reading that I am completely discouraged from them. I wanted to use the little spots I had left on my rv's roof (where I can't fit more panels) but now I think I'll just keep it as is. Thanks for the info! Mistyped, it's a 24v quattro. Apologies.

Hello everyone!! I have been researching to add wind turbines to my current solar setup. I'm pretty good on the solar side, but want some love at night and some additional production in the day. We are in a fairly windy area. Nothing crazy, but I get winds that throw my awning around at night...

Sorry for the late reply. Yes I did, they are all about 10 to 20ah over. I could see how you would think that. No, they did not ask me to post about them and no I was not paid in any way to post about them. I was/am just trying to help people with good sources for batteries. There are a lot of...

Hello all. I wanted to share my experience with you for my second order. I ordered from Dongguan Lighting New Energy Technology twice now. My first order was for 16 280ah EVE cells. The batteries came pretty fast from China and very well packaged. All within .01v, new with QR codes. My second...

Hello all. I have a "like new" Jaboni 30amp mppt and display (cable included). I say like new as it was installed on the RV when we got it, and I took it out before we even used our RV and installed my own, much larger system. $250 OBO shipped to you. I can deliver local around San Diego...

https://shandian.m.en.alibaba.com/index.html?wx_navbar_transparent=true&tracelog=sns_minisite Here is the Alibaba link to the vendor I used. I reached out to him today, and he is out of stock of the 280ah batteries I bought. He does have other batteries or other sizes and types. I cannot...

Fair enough. I'll post the link. If it isn't allowed, hopefully a mod just removes the link and doesn't ban me ? I agree. They are nice sites. It has been a few years, well a decade since I've been down there. I'm sure they are still just as nice. Thank you! We already dislike this rig. We...

Semper Fi! I don't think you are allowed to post external links. It goes against the forum rules I believe. I'll send you a PM with the info. I'll post it here if a mod says it's alright. My full setup is... 2x Victron Multiplus 24v 3000w Victron Orion 24v to 12v step down Victron Link power...

Yes, we are full timers. So, turning power off for a long period of time only happens when I get up earlier than everyone or I'm the only one home. Our pups are older and don't do well in the heat, so AC's run most of the hot hours after windows get closed. I am not off grid. We are on Marine...

I am going to try the no ac load test in the morning when everyone is asleep and it's still cooler. We are in the Mojave Desert, gets a bit warm in this sauna box in the day. I loaded the firmware myself and checked the versions. They are the same. How do you check the hardware revisions? I'm...
