I'm having an issue and cannot figure it out. I have 4 - 100W Rich solar panels (VOC 22.6V & ISC 5.86A) connected in series and 4 - 100W HQST solar panels (VOC 21.6V & ISC 6.5A) connected in series going to a 6 string Midnight Solar Combiner Box. When I test them the wires coming into the...

I have a question I have 2 sets of 4 -100watt panels in series going to a Midnight Solar Combiner Box and each panel is VOC of 22.6V and Isc of 5.86A should I have a 15, 20, or 25 amp circuit breaker in the combiner box. Then this will be going to a 150/60 Charge controller which I'm hoping will...

I'm having an issue understanding the volts and amps going to a CC. Right now I have 4-100W Rich poly solar panels at 22.6VOC if I put 4 in series would be 4x22.6=90.4V and ISC is 5.86A Then I have 2 HQST mono solar panels 21.6voc in series so 2x21.6=43.2V and ISC is 6.5A and 2 more at...

Does anyone know the video that Will had a Rc lipo battery low voltage tester monitor he used as an alarm to tell when the battery was getting to low?

I heard Will mention that he did a video that went more in depth about "ghost loads" does anyone know which video he did about these? I would be interested to hear more about these and how to prevent them.
