If you are trying to say to buy lithium, they are not going to work for me.

I was looking at possible getting a single point watering system with the trojan batteries im about to order. Does anyone on here have experience with them? Pros and Cons?

So I havnt bought batteries. I take it I would be able to still claim it?

Since this is a new addition to the tax code is a person able to claim just batteries if they already use the tax credit for their panels and inverter?

So I'm looking at changing out the batteries I have now. I'm on have a sol-ark 15k and some cheap lead acid everstart batteries. I'm not running off the batteries often, basically just using them for backup when the grid goes down. I would rather stay away from lithium due to the cost and issues...

Thank you for the information!

Ok I have some bifacial panels and it got me thinking. Not factoring in the issues with instillation, would mounting bifacials perfectly vertical and facing east and west provide the best power generation?

I dont get the range A and range B. Is that saying those are the type ranges that could be coming into a house?

I noticed that on my computer is that way but then my fridge just says 115 volts

iI appoligize, iI was referring to voltage per leg.

Not sure this is the best area for this question but here it goes. I have a fairly long run of wire (300ft round trip) to my inverter and the voltage from the grid is at 115v. Since the inverter is matching the grid voltage and then having to send that back to the house my drop is a tad bit...

I have some 6 gauge that i was going to use

344.7

I was looking at putting my array about 170 ft from my controller. But voltage would be high, around 412 voc and only 10 amps with 6awg wire

What does everyone on here consider a max acceptable voltage loss for your DC cables?

I suck at soldering, but at this point its either attempt it or have only a half working product.

That was my response. I can show the emails if you would like. lol

So this is just my experience but don't ever buy Sigineer products. I bought one of their charge controllers with dual trackers. Tracker number 1 wasn't working, it showed volts but no amps. After three weeks of emails and a video of the issue they insisted it wasn't something that happened...

Ok. I really appreciate your help with all this. If I have any questions I hope you don't mind if I just ask you in this thread.

I assumed thats what you meant. Wouldn't the home monitors that clamp onto the service lines coming into the main panel provide a better big picture view?

I have done a rough audit based on my power companies information. We have smart meters and can login and see our hourly consumption. But I also ordered a home meter to see the total that my house is pulling. Im not ready to pull the trigger on a new inverter soon, especially if I end up...

Yes a ac unit, and there are two well pumps it will be powering, one down hole and 1deep well jet pump(rarely at the same time though)

Starting to find that out with sigineer. Bought their charge controller and 1 of the trackers isnt working. After two weeks of emails and sending them a video, they said they doubt the tracker is bad. SO might need to use a built in controller after all.

Thank you. I like the solark ones but dam are they pricey.

Split, sorry

Wow. Bit more then I'm wanting to spend but nice!

240v. I have a controller so don't need one with a controller built in. Starting size is optional depending on what is out there. A stacking one would be best so I can slowly add on

I have been looking for a good 48 volt inverter that is 240v, and would like some suggestions. I am potentially needing 10kw of total power and already have a charge controller. I would like a inverter that I could stack, so im not spending so much at once and hopefully wont break the bank but...

Thanks for the feedback.

Have you tried this switch?

I was poking around looking for a different charge controller and stumbled across the sigineer mppt48120. It says on their site that it has two separate 60A MPPT trackers. First question is if anyone has experience with their charge controllers on their quality. Second if it has two separate...

Yeah, wasn't any other option for that inverter

The manual shows a output voltage up to 240 but doesnt say anything beyond that. http://www.giandel.com/DownView.asp?ID=7
