    go figure my budy a boat mechanic has all the wire I need, electricians dont, swapped out to 8 feet of 4 gauge and now there is no flicker when water pumps kicks in
  • Post in thread: Solar Combiner ?

    Outback 80amp charge controller. They said no more then 15 270w panels. As for bahamas changes weekly One week we're in 100 lock down can't even go to food stores or get water then were open only to be locked down again. I think are prime Minister is bi polar. I noticed some people made...
  • Post in thread: Dont seem to be getting proper amount of power.

    No. Now you going to make me write ba story. After dorian I knew I was going to be with out power for a year. A friend who lives ina solar community said he could arrange for a decent outback power system for 14k. Same time my best friend who is fairly well off asked me what needed I said...
  • Post in thread: Mixing solar panels.

    I currently have 15 270w solar panels connected to my outback solar charger this is set up in 3s x 5p set up I want to basically double that. So when I get the second inverter do I have to get the exact same panels and set it up the same way?
  • Post in thread: Dont seem to be getting proper amount of power.

    I have it. Now as 3 s 3 parrell so all should be good tomorrow. Thanks alot for all help
  • Post in thread: 1670w of Solar

    Yep

    Man where did you find that I need new glasses thanks
  • Post in thread: House connected to mains power - solar by day battery by night

    I am newb but I do know that certain charger inverters automatically do that
  • Post in thread: Charger inverter question

    Aparently its sold through Asia and Europe I have been donated it no idea where they got it
  • Post in thread: Voltage Drop

    I never let voltage drop below 48 ever lots of times woul run generator for two hours into evening. It's just odd how this seems to of happened quickly
  • Post in thread: Renogy rover issue

    I have a renogy rover charger. It was working fine but now inhave odd issue. The led screen all the info is displayed in reverse. Like is you were to hold a book to a mirror. Just curious if anyone has had an issue like this
  • Post in thread: Noob ? 20hr or 10hr

    whats a better battery one that has a 10hr 100amp rate or a 20hr 100amp rate?
  • Post in thread: Voltronic Inverters

    Has anyone heard of Voltronic Inverters?
  • Post in thread: Voltage Drop

    What's temperature compensation? Live in Bahamas. Thought agms would handle heat
  • Post in thread: Wire gauge?

    About to put panels on roof. 5 series of 3. 30v 9 amps each 270watt panels. Will need to run it 80 feet to controller. I take it 8gauge will work it seems do people use higher gauge. Seems gauge would become less flexible for running through conduit pipe
  • Post in thread: Light Flicker

    Wasnt sure wire worked like that. It just automatically flows into the one with least resistance then easing the load on them then
  • Post in thread: Charger inverter question

    Do I still need a solar charge controller with this http://voltronicpower.com/en-US/Product/Detail/Axpert-VM-II-3KVA-5KVA
  • Post in thread: Battery set up

    Does anyone have a setup plan for 12 x 12v 48v set up?
  • Post in thread: Battery set up

    So I have 12 12v 100amp batteries what's the best way to set this up? As 4 series and three in parrallel for a 48v?
  • Post in thread: 1670w of Solar

    I have 6 panels 270watts. I pretty much have to set up a battery bank as 48v correct.
  • Post in thread: Voltage Drop

    how do i know what the charging on the individual batteries is doing. I say all of a sudden becuase the system is setup to shut off when ever the voltage go to 48v and and that never happeend once until it did a week or so ago.
  • Post in thread: Battery set up

    Would this work
  • Post in thread: Solar Combiner ?

    So I have 12 panels, 3 in series giving me 9amps 90volts x 4. and this go into a combiner box. This is my question I want to add 3 more panels, but I only have 4 prong bus bar, can I still add the other circuit breaker and use piece of 8ga cable to link them all?
  • Post in thread: Need Help

    Wills Videos were exceptionaly informative, I upgraded the components to 48v systems as I have 4 12v batteries and aparently they like being in a series better. You have to realize I was gifted an emergency solar system, Dorian kinda of has left my homeland in a series disarray but hey got the...
  • Post in thread: Voltage Drop

    As for float and charge everything set to what rolls told me too. Which is basically what you said. But I pay attention. To the voltage in the am closely all the time. Never changed it for temp. Coldest it gets is 60 high is 98
  • Post in thread: Dont seem to be getting proper amount of power.

    I have 8 30v 9amp 270 watt panels. 4 in series n parell if that makes sense not sure of the terminology. So technically I should get 60v 36 amps. Theres full sun on them at 930am and I am getting only 12.6 amps. There connected using an mc4 4branch connector not a box. Any help would be...
  • Post in thread: Dont seem to be getting proper amount of power.

    I dont think I should be getting full juice from them but 12 seems low
  • Post in thread: Water Pump

    I am looking for a water pump that pull water from my water tanks and push it into a water pressure tank, the current one I have is a flo tech 1/2 hp but this think kicks the hell out of the generator, I am wondering if there is one out there thats not so power intensive.
  • Post in thread: Wire gauge?

    No that's the max configuration. For that array. Dont have easy acess to 6gauge. Coule double up on the 8 gauge
  • Post in thread: Need Help

    ok thanks for this, I was somewhat confused trying to figure out battery consumption. thanks a ton
