    Use Single Hybrid MPP 110V semi-grid mode?

    I wasn't able to find in search, but I have 01- LV 2424, that was made for US 110VAC, I know it can be used paired with another for split phase power. My question is can I use just one of these, plug it into the house but turn off the back-feed mode and have the house take from the panels during...

    Bare Minimum to charge an EV

    I'm looking to set up a simple solar charging station at work, but I don't need a full on system, backup batteries, grid-tie or anything like that. Just hey if it's sunny out I can charge my car, 220 would be great but 110 will work. Just want Solar panels, whatever in between and then an...

Picked up the one from the website suggestions, and followed the diagram but even with a full battery it is not allowing voltage to pass to 12V appliance side, my inverter in this.

    Properly size your cables

    I know Will has said it many times, others have said it. But here is a perfect example why. 1st pic is a 16AWG 15ft extension card, next is 12AWG 10ft cord, load is the exact same, my PHEV which is currently drawing 110V at 8A. My example never got above 80F but will eventually wear out the...

    Difficulty shopping for parts

    Not sure about others but to put my first rig together, (it's not even put together yet) I've had to shop at a number of different places. It has been mostly Amazon, which definitely has its perks, but I miss the days of Radio Shack and Tigerdirect. I know Will has mentioned a number of videos...
