Frequently on dusty roads away from a car wash usually and wondered if there is a simple solution for keeping the panel clean? I have a couple gallons of water to spare usually if needed but last time I used a bit of soap it dried on the side of the van and made a mess. Any quick and easy...

I have a constant drain on my house battery looks like about .7 amps on the meter gizmo. The frig is turned off but plugged in and nothing is plugged in to the dual usb outlet device (although the led is always on). Also there is a bms on the 280 lith battery. I am guessing the usb has a...

I know this is a popular meter and I really like it so far for voltage readings and amperage draw and it's tested to be accurate for that but just wondering if the "percentage remaining" part of the shunt is usually accurate? I calibrated it initially by fully charging the battery and it...

I am doping out my first solar set-up and so far nothing broke and nobody got hurt lol but I think there is a problem with the cells staying balanced. It's a 280ah Xuba battery/Overkillsolar BMS just installed with only 2 partial test cycles so far and I don't think the cells are staying...

I installed a 200w solar panel with 280ah Xuba metal cell lithium battery/OverkillSolar bms and just want to be sure I program the Kisae B-B battery charger correctly so as not to mess this up being a total newb. The solar puts out 11 amps and when it switches to alternator charging at 40 amps...

I need to mount a panel asap for somebody traveling and need to source the correct VBN tape for the roof mounts but I have tried a couple different varieties and none of them hold up. It seems 3M has a bajillion different varieties of VB tape with different model numbers to designate strength...

On my van the roof metal seems pretty thin so for a 200 watt panel do you think reinforcing backing plates are needed under the solar panel mounting brackets? I will be using 3M tape under the mounts but being a newb considering adding a bolt through the 2 front mounts for added safety but it...

Dumb newbie question but to extend the wires can I just cut the connectors off of the plug end of the solar panel leads and splice another similar gauge wire using something like a simple butt connector? Asked another way is there magic sauce in the wiring and connectors or is it just simple...

Dumb newbie question here I did search for an hour for a fix but no go so far. Trying to pair a DiySolar bms bluetooth module to my Samsung S7 phone already downloaded the correct Android app (Xioxing 3.1.1015 version) and double checked the wiring was right. When trying to connect it doesn't...
