    Midnite classic 250 amp issues

    I am having an issue where my output amps are peaking out at 64 with my amber light coming on and it occasionally saying "amp limit" I have 4 of the panels in the specs picture. My math says i should only be pulling in like 36a 4x9a on each panel... Can I turn down the output amps to stop this...

    Battery EQ question...

    Hello again! Just a curious question... I added 4x 12v lead acid batteries to my bank which had 4 sealed batteries. The new batteries were sitting for a few months... My question is... After I've added the 4 new batteries should I do an equalize to balance out the charge? The old 4 batteries...

    80a mppt SCC options that arent epevef?

    Looking for suggestions for an mppt controller other than epever. Which was crap the first one I got. Also looking to leave room to add another 2 panels and 4 more batteries later on. Currently I'm going to be running 4x 350 watt 144 cell split grid solar panels, 9amps 40 volts. In parallel...

    EPEver display cycling: Normal?

    The scc does show V and A. It starts out at 54 then jumps down to 30ish. Then 24. Then it cycles to amps. Which starts out at 7.1a and drops to 5.4 then 3.5 and then the cycle resets itself and it goes back to the volts and cycles through... When the panels are off or at night...this behaviour...

    Epever scc not charging past 12.3v

    I have been having am issue where my scc won't charge past 12.3v... I have a 4x 12v / 105Ah deep cycle sealed battery bank wired in parallel. With 2 326w panels in parallel as well... So my cc says I'm only 2 bars out if 5 filled for battery. The backlight stays on constantly and it cycles...

    2 SCC 1 battery bank

    So i had just my mppt controller running 2 326w panels. I added 3 smaller panels with a second smaller pwm scc. Now my mppt controller is showing my battery bank as only 2 out of 5 bars while the pwm shows 4 of 5 and my inverter shows 3 of 4... Do i need to do anything special to set one scc as...

    Is it possible..

    Is it possible to just cut the MC4 connectors on my panels and hard wire them together in parallel and then into the charge controller? Doing a little desert engineering lol

    Double check me please

    I'm building my first system for our off grid homestead. I just wanted to see if anyone could look over what I've put together here and just let me know if this will even work. I know some of the parts are crap so not really looking for feedback on that. Just need to know if this will work...
