  • Post in thread: Expanding my original solar plan

    As mentioned in my prior post , my original plan (which is up and running) involves 8 100w HF solar panels w/sae to MC4 adapters w/15amp fuses each to a 50ft MC4 10awg cable(w/ a breaker box) to my Renogy 100a CC to 4 Weize 100ah agm batteries in parallel to bus bars & T fuse to a Renogy...

    Once I find those panel specs , I'll post them. For some reason Harbor Freight doesn't list them in their manual. I've noticed that other people have had a hard time finding that info. I'll check on the panels tomorrow. I thought using 6 batteries and changing to 12 or 16 panels was a big deal...

    Also, I have 1inch PVC feeding the MC4 cables to a closet from outside. I have a plastic shelf which I plan to store the Charge Controller , Inverter and the 4 AGM batteries on the bottom shelf. Do I need to ventilate the closet? I was considering putting a vent on the door. I also will have a...

    The closet won't have anything else in it so it won't be tight in there. I'm there most of the time working virtually so I can keep an I on it. Thanks for the input
