I ran ALL the loads last nite too this first pic after dark.
My load was under my estimate at a about 20 Watts.
I guess the devices are not pull Max rated power
real usage is actually lower!!! wow!
I took the second pic this morning at dawn after turning off the LED light.
I used 85 percent...
THANKS for looking at my Frankenstein RIG!!!
OK I just photoshopped the 2 readouts
controller Read out AND the Battery Meter read out
1 renogy solar 100 Watt panel. 30FT leads
The load is 110v
2 IP WIFI cams. .5 amps each

Thanks for the clarification. I thought "up" arrow was electron flow out of the battery.!!
I have added two more images.
The EPEVER 40MMPT shows the Renogy GEL 110ah is now full (6 hours Direct Sunlight). Two lights flashing.
I RE-Calibrated the battery monitor. to ZERO then 100% per...
Oh wow, OK i never thought these little cams pulled that much juice I actually never calculated my energy usage and really need to examine that. The load is a static number of devices so it should be a known value to calculate total usage. This energy usage awareness is another component that...
I wanted to update my thoughts on usage at night mostly 12 hours a day not 24 hours a day so my load is probably half on a sunny day? just during overnight? Thanks for any advice
I changed the configuration showing the CSS-neg going to the shunt on P-

Now in shade no direct sun I get the last picture.
I got help getting my battery meter Connected and the shunt installed correctly.
Now I have some confusion about conflicting information from the devices. I read the manuals.
Which sensor to trust for accuracy?
My MPPT has two Green LEDs both flash slowly when full charge is reached.
My...
Why only 7 hours on time remaining with the inverter off do I just not understand?
why are the arrows pointing UP like power is going out? or is it charging up now.
such a novice right?
I built this system and it works. I wanted to add a Renogy Battery Meter RMB500
Per instructions for the Renogy Battery Meter:
I put the shunt inline with the Negative to the battery on B-
I put the charge controller and inverter on P-
In that configuration, the battery meter flashes all the...
