I gotcha. The 2nd panel is what I am concerned with, 15 amps into the battery I can’t complain. My system is working and I am happy ?

I only wanted to use the shunt to view my battery remaining capacity. since You seem so knowledgeable let me ask another question instead of creating yet another thread. here is a screenshot of my victron 100/30 charge controller, we finally have a sunny day today. what I don’t understand...

Today I am hooking up my new Victron smartshunt AND a BMS to a lifepo4 battery bank made up from 4 cells to total 12 volts. what I am unclear on, is the shunt the first thing to come off the negative battery post, then the BMS Connects to the shunt? Or would it be the other way around, the BMS...

Yes here is the label the batteries are 100 ah each at 10 hour the inverter is rated at 1000 watts

Okay I got an answer from an ebay seller, who said yes to the first question. But as far as the 40 amp model, it may be too much to charge my two 12 volt agm batteries? I plan on upgrading my battery bank some day. But I cant do it right now for financial reasons

I know this is a real noob question, but does anyone know if the Tracer 4215BN will down convert from my 24 volt array to 12 volt battery bank? AND If I bought the 40 amp model, does it have the option to throttle the 40 amps to something less in the settings? I was hoping to "grow" into it...

Who is UPG?

I’m late to the party, but imho, stay away from Eco Worthy. I fell victim to their “junk”, and I use that word nicely. I was buying solar stuff from newpowa, and the quality was great but they had a limited selection, plus they always seemed to be out of stock on stuff, so I switched to Eco...

It is off grid because it is in poor shape. Here in Southern Illinois, abandoned houses are plentiful, I think most of them were built back in the coal mining boom days. Many people lived, and died here, and their kids moved on elsewhere in the meantime and never came back for the homes that...

Hedges, that was a really good read. Thank you for taking the time to post all of that. It is great to learn so much information here, verses jumping all over the internet and piecing it together with misconceptions

Sorry I am late to my own party, I fell asleep last night I will try to explain my position a bit better, and what I hope to do in the future. We bought an old house across the street, it is off grid and will be for a long time because it is in terrible shape. We are in the process of gutting...

What battery chemistry and Ah? Okay I was hoping to evade that one lol. I am right now using 2 Everstart 29 series marine batteries, yep, the Wal Mart ones. I know thats bad, they belong in my boat so I already owned them and did not have to spend anything to get going. I am saving to get the...

Bingo, MBR I understand. I wished I would have just humbled myself and posted this a week ago, it would have saved me quite a bit of legwork. Thanks to all contributors in this thread, I learned from each response

Maximum power (Pmax): 100W Voltage at Pmax (Vmp):17.0V Current at Pmax (Imp): 5.89A is what I just dug up

It seems like Newpowa discontinued those 100 watt panels within the last 2 days, but here is what I know about the specs that I wrote down on scratch paper while I was researching this 17.2 volts at pmax 5.82 amps Does that tell enough? If not, I will call the company

Ok, very noobish here. I have 6 panels from Newpowa that are 100 watts each. I only have 4 hooked up, because I am still using the cheap PWM controller that came with the kit. My plan is to upgrade to an MPPT controller then connect all 6 panels in a parallel/series configuration that will put...
