Word of warning!!!! Do not buy these solar panels. I couldn't figure out why my batteries weren't charging to 100% (abt. 29VDC), after "charging" all day. So something someone said on this page made me think. I went out and isolated my solar cells and tested them. 2 Trina 250W tested great at...

I want to thank you for your response. It helped me figure out my settings better. I also used the battery setting on the page after parameters to know my settings for LIFEPO4 batteries. But, mostly I want to thank you for how you were respectful to the person that posted.

I bought 2 used solar cells. Each 260W solar cells. I am trying to use them with my 4 12v 100W panels. I had the 4 12v ones totaling up to 48v, Got a new controller because i wanted to get higher volts. It does up to 100V , so trying to get the most i can. I am trying all the possible...

Connecting 2 12v 100ah batteries in series to make 24v Bought 1 24v 300ah battery Connect in parallel to be 24v 400ah Total of 9600 wh Is that correct? Bought new controller that can do 96v. Current one only goes to 48v. I now have 4 100w Solar cells. Amazon sale for just over 60 each. 20v...

Ok thinking about 10k wh. Would that be enough?

Thank you for the prompt answer. I have learned a lot over the last 2 days. Definitely need a bigger boat (battery) so that the system can handle a bigger power draw and not drain my battery.

May be a dumb question. Probably is. I am only using on battery now at 100ah. If i add another 100ah batteries and i use them together, does that increase the ah ??

No matter how i look at it i need a bigger battery.

It is 4 hours away from here at my farm. I am trying to remember which one I bought and where.

Looking up the water pump. I believe it is a 1/2 hp.

I only visit the farm house once a month. Water usage would be minimal.

update: solar cells 44 v average battery 14.3 (but showed 14.5 after charge) so controller is doing some work charging it.

I was using the fridge as just a test here at home. The farmhouse I am going to be installing the solar system in only has lights and a well pump (That only runs to refill the pressure tank). So nothing like running a fridge in. Question, I have 2 100A batteries if i use them both at the same...
