    Noob Question- I see the solar input for my inverter/Mppt combo is 30amp/15-150v/1600w for each port, and it has two ports. I have four 250w panels each with 37.7 voc and 8.72 Isc. In order to meet the Power hub requirement, I will need to run 2 sets of panels in series, then combine them in...

    The system is an Ecoflow Powerkit. While I know the system is 48v, all I really have for the listed solar input is 30amp/15-150v/1600w for each port. I was planning on putting an inline 15a fuse on each pair.
  • Post in thread: DC breaker question

    The goal of installing the circuit breaker is to avoid my solar array from being able to feed more than 150v/15a to my powerhub as a safety. I already know if you feed more power to the Ecoflow Powerhub than it is rated for (it can be damaged like any MPPT I've seen on many videos). My question...

    Thanks! This is my 1st system and a fair chunk of money...so I'm grateful for some validation ?

    Thanks for the responses. I am right at the limit on my solar panels generating the 150v and 15amps. Given that I think it's technically possible(IE cold day and perfect solar angle) to exceed the rating, I'm putting in extra safety into my build. If it never trips, then fine and I'll still be...

    So this also started me wondering if it would actually be more beneficial to run all 4 panels in series only? That would be a 150.8Voc and 8.72Isc with 122.8 Vmpp & 8.15 Impp? Would this be safer and still pull the same potential of 1kw? ...or am I really confused ?
  • Post in thread: DC breaker question

    I have decided to place an additional layer of protection between my Ecoflow Powerkit and my solar panel array. To ensure that no more than 150v/15a(breaker rating) get to my powerhub I am going to put the breaker next to the powerhub between it and my solar disconnect switch. I am very new to...
