Myself I dont think they rubbish but I'm a rookie at this , the price sure ain't rubbish so much be ok, lots have $$$ to play with and get top brands which seem to do the same thing, My set up us basic and doesn't work hard so I expect my money's worth out of it From my learning of using it...

Well I gave up,had a break,cost me $$$$ everytime I come here but spent bit more 2 pole DC breaker switches from oz because they were bit cheaper, battery,mppt,inverter have own switch now,even though inverter and mppt only using 1 side of the 2 pole breaker it's fine to do , just means free...

Thanks ,did buy more stuff but no good, funny thing that sigle pole breaker above was $40.20 ,,10 times more than AS/NZS standed single breakers cost that I just buy,,,but my breakers are just wrong so whole system is now off ,,cant afford good stuff ,,its just a hole to put money into , Hey I...

Sorry for late reply,have been reading here but not my own thread ha, Yip basic label kit ,just handy for myself or if the old ticker stops someone knows what's going on with set up, Excellent info on the charts for me thank you,as I reading I buy a twin pole breaker,Now its not spec but this...

Thanks,controller just a 30amp,ok I put the 8 back in,hey isn't that downgrading ha,Me caravan a oldy style classic 1978 and has aluminum can grade roof,when its hot, it's hot,when cold it's cold,next to no insulation Appreciate the info,thank you

Well fun day,new 4awg on inverter, not sure what size goes to MPPT controller, I had 8awg in there before but only just got the 5awg wire in the terminal, 4 to big to fit there but dont know what should be there got some decals to,but they AC instead of DC ,I look at those later,few things to...

I do have question about the mppt controller load please...... Picture shows the current led light I'm using into mppt controller. 12v 72 LEDs but super bright so I use the 12v light dimmer with it. I brought this cheap fan that runs from solar or 12v battery..can I run both or can I conect...

Well electrocute me,late courier order arrive of the 4awg arrive, makes the 5awg look small on the inverter, DC switches should be here today or in morning,just hope this cable not to fat for the DC switches, I did plan to have 2,just so all components can be turned off(mppt.inverter,) not that...

Gezz hope you dont pay him much (sorry) Laurel & Hardy clip,understand the reason for a break,someone else needs lessons too ?

Thanks,, Edit ok me put it back to where it was ! I guess this no good then

Todays update Well bugger me something worked Bit of cloud but full sun , using power and battery sits on 13.3v and inverter holds on 13.2v full sun,no spikes of power,even the inverter fan now runs like it should, did get the charge limit to 13.5v . Makes my day if continues to work like...

Was reading this before too and thanks to @mikefitz for a detailed explanation ,should sell that to them to put in the manual ? This helps me so much understanding what these settings mean without confusion

Just a screenshot and picture from now....pic from now show battery icon full at 12.6 to 12.8v,,,,,screenshot picture from yesterday's post shows battery icon at 12.2v under half charge so these settings done something good I hope,All powered up but out of sun for the day,,I would still like to...

Thanks, I had another go at settings but need the ok before I turn solar on Over voltage disconnect voltage 14.1v Charging limit voltage 13.5v Over voltage reconnect 14v Equalize charging voltage 13.3v Boost charging voltage 13.0v Float charging voltage 12.4v Boost...

Yip ok ,trying now,got over voltage down to 15.1 from 15.5,,charge limit wont save at 14 so I go through the settings again to check them Boggles my mind if 12v battery has all these higher presets in SEALED battery defaults To be honest I'm about to give up and just leave it off,set up seems...

Ha utube the culprit, copied the link but cant add it for some reason Wow info overload,you guys are legends Nice day here ,cloudy but suns out and sure wakes up the inverter when it comes from behind a cloud which almost gives me a fright cause I'm watching it 29.8 Pv ,battery is full ,13.6...

Update to that is my understanding was wrong on the mppt or mt50 with my comment about bein irrelevant since inverter runs of battery, well these things tell that thing what to do,blame that on a senior moment, no I wasent drinking but think I need one even though I don't drink ,to much thinking

Ok done ,that 1 battery part came off a clip I watched so he was wrong too in explaining, I have just changed to these settings and waiting for tomorrow, looks like hot day coming for Kapity coast Yeh the 13.8 sounds good, Do I try do that or test other settings first

Over voltage disconnect voltage 15.5v Charge limit voltage 14.6 Over voltage reconnect voltage 15v Equalize charging voltage 14.6 Float charging voltage 13.8 Boost reconnect charging voltage 13.2 Low voltage reconnect voltage 12.6 Low voltage disconnect voltage...

Simple car battery Rubbish but it's what I could afford ,deep cycle battery 400+ for cheap one Yep good info above I think that's how I manage to save settings in MT50 but lot of searching to find that out,,this cheap battery was 190 ,piss me off cause recent took a proper one in with some scrap...

Update to that is that it dont work,full sun the inverter still shut down from HV alert while in use, Dispite the MT50 settings ,that's all irrelevant to the inverter since its powered by battery and not through MPPT load,,,was good idea if the inverter was wired into the controller but dont...

Another dark wet day but managed to lower charge limit to 14.6 and finally it saved it , Sure didn't work how manual shows,now waiting for fine day for test ?‍?

Yip I'm with you ,Yip use multimeter all the time ?

Premo what a reply ,I can imagine the system talking like that too lol ? Dont have microwave,or fridge but understand the explanation, good stuff, From my understanding of the parameters from watching some clips I just go into USER and program the SEALED battery default settings but lower the...

Ok my curiousity is asking about the charging limit voltage and this thought is to see if I drop the charging limit will that reduce the voltage going to the inverter.? I think its bit much for it to sit high at 14+volts on sunny days with 31volts from the PV since my appliances dont use much...

ah thanks yeh it just didn't look right having a red negative color wire,to me negative is black colour Thanks again ,good info,I do have this comingbut slow due to couriers, Not even sure if this correct breaker off on switch but still looking to improve my little project ,its been running...

Well this what I was doin,,forgot me dimmer for lights. Shorter cables ,my join was sweet,just trimmed insulation down to fit before crimping Turned on for test and working well,it was working well before to lol,but much more semi organized, had wires all over the place ?. Yip its basic but doin...

Another wire question please I'd like to move mppt but this requires a join, I planned to use the solar cable kit I first got with the black positive and the red negative color wire but I notice the size is different,the pre made port thing with the wires already fitted that I use has double...

Thanks & thanks for confusing me some more lol,Wow taught me something,I had no idea voltage varys globally so had a look and interesting. Looked at many cables all over the web now and under it most say same amps but some change,different specs for same wire so been bit confused by it all...

Ah good stuff,that I can make sense of, I can count money but maths lol,think I missed those school days with regret thanks for the chart too,makes things easier to understand,.Not all sellers here use AWG(American wire gauge) metric also as to why I was getting different specs on wire sizes...

Ok yip on a budget , thanks for the links ,affordable to ,using one very similar to Chtaixi on my solar cable before the mppt controller to shut off input from panel.cant remember amps,cant read it when its stuck to the wall but I'll check. Everything is working but I have system off till I get...

Ha yeh and probably not the last ? but sure careful now I do have question though please,,I have switch to turn off solar panel before the mppt controller I had a silly little 10amp fuse off the battery conected to the power inverter and the mppt controller together but I have this spare...

Yip you tryed ,should have said rubbish straight away , I know nothing, you guys are onto it and know . but learning now after lots of reading and couple more small purchases after your last post so I was listening, couldn't get 4awg local but brought 5awg till I get new inverter (story next)...

Well did find some other cable but goin to use what I got ,750v wire more than enough for my set up,if I burn ,tough Thanks for advise I'm off

Ok I'm with you now,I did find these before,2 look like inverter leads but dont know what they come off I cut the ends back to see strands not solid . If this type ok I'll change now but if not me will buy some, is this house with dangerous like this ? Shall I disconnect it,,,inverter still cold...
