I broke a stud off / laser weld.Drilled and tapped it, i may have went a little too deep on the drilling, will find out soon enough. I have it charging back up and seems fine so far.

I like that, which packout box is that?

What battery? Probably shut downdue to low voltage. Get battery charged back up and try again

I would disconnect power and let it sit for a minute, then reconnect.does it power up without the load. I have the same inverter running a large freezer for 8 months or so, no problems

Thanks, I do have a breaker for the solar disconnect, thanks for the help rmaddy

With the battery shunt I have wired to the battery and withe the 315x2 panels and victron 100/50 controller I usually see around 30 amps going in the battery during charging, never saw 50 Amps but probably due to heat(south Carolina) and panel angle. Now the question is what do I need to do...

Ok, thanks for the help, much appreciated!

I was just thinking adding another 100/50. I have a Victron 100/30 controller also. 280x2=560÷12.5=44.8. Do you think that too much over paneled?

Ok, thanks. Guess it time for a bigger charge controller.

12 volt 560AH lifep04. I currently have 2 315 watt panels in series using that controller but got the 280 watt panels at a great deal including the racking. So I'll remove the other panels all together and use then elsewhere.

I hve a victron charge controller 100/50. I would like to wire up 4 280 watt panels. Would the best configuration be 2s2p? Also would i need to fuse the panels? Thanks in advanced

I did it with 2 160 watt panels. If a hurricane is coming i just take it down. Its been up there for a few years or so.

Subscribed! I'd like to see how it performs.

Im interested also if it falls thru with Elenaw.

I think I'll just use 2/0 since it's a very short run. Hedges, you got a breaker that you might recommend and work with the 120 amp bms? Thanks for the input everyone!

I plan on the inverter being close , total wire length would only be 4 foot, 2 foot each way.A quick check on the wire calculator says 6 gauge is good for 160 amps at that length. So now I just need to find a breaker.

Im putting together a 70AH Lifep04 in 12volt. Im using a 120 amp BMS (Overkill nock off). Since the BMS is good for 120 amps would a bussman 150 amp resettable circuit breaker like this be good https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G5WHP2M/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A6AY1HFZHO49U&psc=1. Also...

I have 2 160 watt panels on a direct tv mount bolted to my shed. Been up there for a few years.

You could also uninstall and reinstall the app,sometimes they get hung up.

Very good craftsmanship and attention to details!

Thanks MBR, so 37.6 x 3=112.8 volts. Puts me over the 100 volts so i'll only be able to use 2. Thanks for the help.

Got a question if i can use these panels with my current charge controller. I posted a pic of the back of the panel and the specs on the charge controller. It says on the controller 780watts 24 volts, so does that mean i can use 3 panels in series (250wattsx3= 750 watts) ? I havent bought the...
