I actually just thought to try this and it read 3-4 ohms so does that mean the fuses are ok. I am not that educated in this department?

Will has an old video that shows him running a long run of wires. If the panels are hooked in series and you use 10 gauge solar wires you could keep this very simple with a water tight patio box or whatever you have and use it like a battery charging station. Sound fun! I love simple, but use...

I am hoping someone here can help me. My MPP all in one just stopped working and I am getting frustrated. When I turn it on it starts normally but then the fans start and the fault light comes on. The inverter output doesn't work. The fault code is 2 so it says it's over heating but it...

Is there a way to divert extra solar energy into another battery bank that can be used as backup storage for those cloudy days? My system isn't that large but I use around 20-25% per day. This runs my freezer and basement lighting 24/7. I have 600 watts of solar, Victron 250/60 charge...

Thanks guys for clearing this up for me. This was very helpful!

Ya my panels are 100watt, sorry I guess I should have put in all spec. Yes I am a 12volt system as well. Thanks for clearing this up, it is helpful to understand these things.

Ok, my PV Voc is 21.7 volts and I have 4 paired series strings in parallel (hope I wrote that right) which should be around 87. volts. So I should be ok, right?

The specs say in the manual for a Victron Charge Controller 150/45 12volts PV nominal 650watts 24volts PV nominal 1300watts 36volts PV nominal 1950watts 48volts PV nominal 2600watts My question is, what difference does the PV wattage make if you are under all the other specs? Meaning you are...

This past week I added two more solar panels because of the pandemic it was hard to get more of the exact model of panels. I figured It would be best to use all the same ones. It all went very smooth because now I had a model sitting right there to reference. I added a third pair in series...

Wow, I guess I miss understood. I was thinking 1-4 panels. Good luck!

I made this very simple stand. If you have a southern exposure this will work with very little space required.

Is the pergola made of wood or a metal kit structure? Maybe a picture? If it's wood then it could be very simple...

I think I might have figured it out. I am using a Victron charge controller (150/45) and the other day I was reading through all the settings and I noticed that the absorption time I set was 2 hrs, but here is what I changed. There is an option for fixed or adaptive. I change this setting to...

I had to find the pictures to show you.

I have an idea! For my little cabin I made myself a small power shed next to the cabin. I installed my inverter and batteries in there where they are dry and safe. Then I ran a RV extension cord to a RV receptacle I mount on the side of the cabin. I hooked this receptacle to my fuse panel...
