    Wiring question when combining disparate battery banks

    I currently have 6 Lion energy batteries wired as 2S3P (285ah) and shared between 2 24 Volt MPP inverters. It's diagonally wired with a single Positive coming from one side of the bank and single negative from the opposite side. It stays well balanced. This battery is directly connected to...

    Solar generation proportional to AC load demand?

    I have two MPP Hybrid units each fed by it's own 1300 Watt array. Each inverter is powering separate AC circuits via a reliance transfer switch. What I'm seeing is that when the load doesn't demand it the PV doesn't produce as much. For example if the load is say 250 Watts the PV may produce...

    Overloading Hybrid unit and Grid Bypass behavior

    I experimented with pushing my 24v Hybrid inverter past it's rated capacity to watch successfully cut over to grid power. At about 102-4% the inverter actually handled the load fine and continued to pull from the batteries. Above that, it did cutover to the grid and both batteries and grid...

    MPP 24 Volt Hybrid Charging Behavior

    Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah everyone! I've finally started to mess around with my 24 Volt Hybrid unit and have a charging question. My goal is to have this operate with Solar first then battery, then grid power. I only have AC power in and out and batteries hooked up at the moment(No...

    Paneling for a 2400KW PIP

    I've been going around in circles trying to determine the best way to panel this 24 volt MPP 2400kw All in one. It's a max 2000Watts solar input, Max 145VDC input., Max 80Amps in. My goal is to get the max wattage I can given the space and input limitations. I'm less concerned about...
