Looks like a good deal and 80 amp sure leaves room to expand. I worry about these no name Chinese brands. I'm sure even the better brands are manufactured in China but I suspect they have a little better quality control.

Yeah, I think you're right about the PowMr. Read some more reviews, watched some videos and it is a cheap knockoff of the makeskyblue. I'm looking at a 40amp from HQST. Less in terms of specs but seems a bit better quality and seems to have a phone app. The Epever is about 140 compared to this...

Perfect. Thank you.

I'm in the process of changing from a cheap PWM to MPPT solar controller because I would like to make use of my four 100 Watt panels (maybe 6 someday) for a house circuit (panel are on my backyard shed). I was looking at the PowMr M60 because it's about a hundred dollars and provides some room...

Any suggestions about running the 12/2 from the inverter? It only has posts for the input from the battery. Output is two 3 prong plugs. I suppose I could strip back and extension cord or something. Anything more "elegant" that you're aware of?

Great! Figuring out them amps for the inverter was what was confusing me. Really appreciate it.

I built a cheap 12 x 8 wooden shed myself. If you size it right, it minimizes cost. TEN T111 engineered primed panels, some 2X4's for studs and roof rafters (space them closely and you can avoid using 2X6). Some shingles and OSB for Roof sheathing and paint. It was actually pretty cheap (around...
