    24V DC Load in Controller

    Thank you for all of your input, he may just get a step down device for the appliances. Also a quick question, he's also considering getting a 12V system but has a concern about the BMS and the amount of cells. The Four 280AH Cells are pretty expensive here being around $600 with the tax...

    24V DC Load in Controller

    Hi all. My friend is building a new system and has a bit of clarification with the DC Load in the controller. I have 12V system and I connect a few 12V DC devices such as LEDs and fans on the DC Load in the controller. So if he builds a 24V system, would the terminals for the DC Load in the...

    New Batteries Charged Full, but draining quickly?

    Thanks for replying, sorry I couldn't respond earlier as I was called in for the frontlines a few weeks ago to help with the epidemic. I haven't been able to get back home but I've planned this to be my new setup. I can't remember the brand of the wires, but I think they're pretty good as they...

    New Batteries Charged Full, but draining quickly?

    One more quick question, since my Inverter is at 2000W and the batteries as 6 x 100aH (Going to add one more soon), the Fuse Size should be about 400A (2 x 200A) and the Circuit breaker at 250A right? Do I need to increase the fuse size as I increase the batteries, or is it entirely dependent on...

    New Batteries Charged Full, but draining quickly?

    I think I messed up big time with the solar panel setup so far. I'm powering everything down until I get all of the things that I need, especially the Fuse, Battery Setup and the monitor. I don't think I'll be buying any more products from that shop. I've read a bit more about the connection and...

    New Batteries Charged Full, but draining quickly?

    My bad, I meant this product, rated at 300A. For the time being, we don't have a fuse in the wires, fusebox and it's not connected to the main grid. I've connected the Battery Bank directly to the Controller. I've only been using it to power a Laptop charger rated at 45W, and about 4 5W devices...

    New Batteries Charged Full, but draining quickly?

    Thanks for the response, so far I'm using the standard parallel setup. I'm not sure how efficient it is, but it held up well before. I'm only been using the same appliances with the system, but I'm unsure what's causing it. I unfortunately have a limited selection of products at my disposal, I...

    New Batteries Charged Full, but draining quickly?

    Hi All, So I'm an extreme beginner with Solar Panel Technology and have purchased equipment last month. I started getting into Solar Technology as I enjoyed wood works and DIY furniture, figured that this could be a pretty good hobby as well. I don't live in the States or Europe, so my options...
