I forgot to mention, splitting the h2o is achieved at a much lower amperage if you add some nitrogen. Check Robert Murray-Smith for making hydrogen and the bromine battery.

Hello Josi, Yep unusual is more interesting. I am not at the level of confidence to compress yet. Although I have a source for low compression vessels I may fill with carbonized hemp. I understand they will hold 10% hydrogen by weight at 1 atmosphere per pound of hemp. If it works I will see if...

Hello rmaddy. I have not figured out the cut and paste thing here. Please bear with me. On 12V that is only 480W supported. The rest of your panel wattage can't be used. If you had a 24V setup then your charge controller can support 960W of solar. Sort of my understanding. The reality to my...

Thank you for all the information. The panels are rated at 24vdc but open they measure 39-40 vdc. I thought 24 volt batteries setup would be the most efficient use of power. I was concerned wired 12vdv was clipping and wasting power. It is back to 12vdc, cleaned panels, fixed something...now I...

270w panels Rated Power: 270W Open circuit voltage (VOC): 44.4 V Max power voltage (VMP): 35.5 V Short circuit current (ISC): 8.25 A Max power current: 7.60 A Power Tolerance 0/+3% Maximum system voltage: 600V (UL) Fuse Rating: 15 A IP65 Junction Box w/MC4 Compatible Connectors Frame: Anodized...

I was looking for maximum efficiency. The 12 volt system charged the batteries in short order. The 24v system has yet to charge the batteries. I did discover the panels were covered in pollen and cleaned them. Still the 12v out preformed 24vas far as battery charge capacity.

I did not see a wire direct option in the manual. The panels are 24vdc so that would not work with a 12vdc inverter. I had the battery bank wired as a 12 volt bank. It charged quickly and I assumed the excess Solar was being clipped. Now as a 24 volt battery system it does not reach full charge...

I have 4-6volt deep cycle gold cart batteries(GC2-6v 105 min @ 75 amps) wired in series for 24vdc to match the input of my 3-270w 24v panels. I have a GIANDEL 4kw 12v inverter. I see that picking up the postive and negative of each 2 pack of batteries is 12vdc. If I run leads from both 2 packs...

I have the cables that came with the inverters. Neither over 18" in length. I will post screen shots when I return. I guage the battery level based on the number of bars indicating battery charge. They remain at 2 bars out of 8 most of the time. At full sunlight they charge (8 bars) in a little...

I have both the 2kw is wired in the 4kw is not. I am concerned it will overload the system as it stands.

The battery voltage, as I remember is in the 13.5 to 15v range. Here is what I think I know from what the meter says 12 volts x 3 amps is only 36 watts. A fraction of 1 panels output. I am wasting the capacity of the other 2 completely. I do have a 4k/8k inverter at 12 volts. I expect even if I...

I mispoke the panels are rated at 7.6a, I confused it with fuse rating. 3 wired in parallel should increase the amperage while the voltage remains the same. With that consideration 3 panels in full sun should produce more than 3 amps total, I think. The EP controller never shows above 3 amps. My...

Hello I have a 4215BN, 4 - 6v gcart batteries and 3 - 270w 39v 15a solar panels 3p. A 2000w inverter with two 120v. 1 showing 100v the other 110v The Charge controller shows 40v but never above 3amps, full dun shade, clouds... 3 panels in parallel should be close to 30amps. The panels are...

A.Justice blanket away. Your explanation clearly demonstrates your intent. Ok now that you ran the numbers I have to try just to know... maybe it will run a single A19 in the deep dark bowels, the kitchen. I have not posted pics before but I will give it a shot. The house was vacant for years...

Thank you Supervstech. I still have that original 100w (4 - 25w panels). I used it mostly to charge phones. For lighting I used a dozen 300w path lights. Yes very limited living but I would rank it as some of the best of times. I did upgrade to Wills 2k watt system. The sad part of solar is the...

12voltinstalls thank you. That is the information I needed. Solid vs multistrand (110 vs 12v). I had hoped to use what was already installed. Pointing out a long run for resistance could be 20 feet put it all in perspective. I doubt there is a single circuit that short. Time to create new runs...

Yes I am cracking alkalized water for hydrogen and that great o2 high breathing increased levels. Works great for her glass works too. I think I spend too much time on utube.

Excellent points. So under full disclosure, my gas is hydrogen produced as needed. I understand the explosive range with the oxygen mix. That answer seemed outside of this discussion. I agree the light mix is not correct, generally for plants. The cannabis market has improved that deficiency...

I have no idea what the bulb is, other than 12vdc. There are no markings. When I look online it appears they are 12/24 but that is an assumption, they are identical. The only fact is they came with the 100w Harbor Frieght system. The main service wire is aluminum, not a favorite. I will be...

Thank you Joey. You are dead on right. I was attempting to direct connect with or without battery backup. I considered using one of the main 50amp house circuits as the connection for the charge controller to the batteries. Certainly not a conventional configuration. This is a low consumption...

Living off grid in the city, is living large(I hope). Today I had the utility company literally cut the power. Turns out they have been over billing for years. I have moved my previous system across country to enjoy off grid in the city. Today's adventure. I would like to hook the panels...

I knew those were the rules, now it makes sense why. I assumed it would damage the SCC if were not hooked up first.

Thank you both. I assumed if I connected a 12v battery bank to a SCC that was receiving 24v(36v) from the panels I would fry the batteries immediately. I read the instruction as limited as they were. Read all the posts I could find here and did not know the SCC was capable of stepping down the...

I have every confidence you are correct, I do not know where the converter goes. I have had it connected directly to my battery bank all summer. While it has worked stepping down 24v to 12v it has degraded used batteries. Chalked up to experience. They are now cores for the replacement new ones...

My panels are 24v. A concern to me at first, until I realized the advantages. My cheap charge controllers are auto 12, 24v. The 24v do not step down so the converter comes into play. The world is setup for 12vdc or 110ac. The other voltages at first seem to comical things, but I appreciate them...

I have connected the converter directly to the batteries but the load attached appears to drain the battery too far. Using the batteries to extend the lighting in the greenhouse now that the days are growing shorter. I tried connecting the converter to the output side of the charge controller...

Hello again rmaddy, I am off grid and playing with this system. I followed Will's 4kw system with all of his recommended components. I recently sold most of the panels to upgrade to larger wattage. Until they arrive, I still have small circuits to run for my aquaponics systems, led lighting and...

Thank you ready. Yes that is what I intended to convey. I have 24-12 converters. They are 40 amp and I am using a 10amp power controller. I am concerned that is an extreme mismatch. I believe I risk melting the controller despite under 10amp circuits being run.

I have a 12 volt peltier cooler I would like to connect to a single 12v battery. The load is minimal but continuous. I would expect the system would balance itself considering the large cables connecting the two in series. For small load circuits I do not see a problem. Please enlighten me...

I have 3 used GE P/N65L815TA1 25 KVR 480v 3 phase capacitors. They are in my collection. I would like to incorporate them into my off grid solar array to some advantage like the initial powering up refrigerators/freezers taking the load off my Gander 4000/8000 watt 12v inverter. It may be best...

Good morning all. In keeping with low cost alternatives I happened on a lot of electrical panels and parts. The item of interest today is: General Electric 65L812TQ2 17.5 kVAR Enclosed Indoor NEMA12 Dustproof and Outdoor NEMA 3 Weatherproof 240 Volt 60 Hz Pow... As an Electrically Challenged, I...

Another of my challenges, typos. AWF is AWG. Oh and smart phone corrections. My experience is small multistage insulated wire is telephone wire. Attached is a picture of greenhouses information on the wire sheathing. If this picture works I will post a picture with a dime and the exposed wire...
