Thank you - I'll give this a shot and report back

Hey! Thanks for the response. It's difficult for me to differentiate those smells, but if I had to wager it would be more of a hot rubber smell than the frying of silicon. I finally set up the app which I didn't have before and no problems were detected. I tested with the inverter turned on...

Hey all, I've searched all around and can't find anything regarding what's going on in my setup. I have an off-grid system in a travel trailer that has been working incredibly all year. It's 4x SOK batteries wired in series-parallel; the system is 24V/200Ah. 4x 200W rich solar panels, a lynx...

So I'm about midway through the install of the power bank and as a result have a few more specific questions, I wonder if you'd be willing to provide guidance? Proper fusing is my consistent hangup. You said before to properly fuse the 24v --> 12v converter based on the 40A amperage on the...

thanks so much!

I didn't totally follow the first paragraph but gather the 3000w inverter & 4 100Ah batteries is all good? I also have the 40A version of the DC-DC converter, here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYK6G2Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The wires on your...

Also, the batteries are 12.8V 100Ah not 206Ah! So it would come out to 25.6V/ 200Ah/ 5.2kWh in 2S2P

First of all THANK YOU for giving this such time and attention! I've attached the schematic with the adjustments you suggested, obvs still very rough but what do you think? The 12V output is about 50A, so I added a 60A ANL fuse if you think that will work Yes, one of the maxxfans is about...

Hi all! I was working on this last night, it's pretty rough, but I realized I'm hitting a bit of a wall. I think I'm missing some breakers and fuses, potentially have some inaccurate wire sizes? Also, I'm not even sure how to connect the battery disconnect and shunt to the Lynx Distributor and I...

Hi all! This isn't *explicitly* solar related but I've received amazing help for my inquiries here in the past and was curious if anyone can offer guidance in this arena. I'm building a mobile tiny house within the shell of a vintage trailer but with only the aluminum skin & flat bed...

holy cow this is amazing! SUPER similar to my setup! was this the fuse box you used for 24V? https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-Blade-Block/dp/B001P6FTHC/ref=sr_1_30?dchild=1&keywords=24V+DC+fuse+box&qid=1621642028&sr=8-30

Hi! I searched the forum and couldn't find this specific question posed ~ seems pretty obvious but here goes: what if I have a 24V battery bank and would like to power *both* 12V and 24V appliances? I read that using 24V appliances wherever possible within a 24V system is preferred... so if I...

Ah, yeah, some zones in the inland empire, the valley and coast definitely get super chilly. Where I'm at though it hasn't gotten to freezing in decades! Still, I think you're right and it would be good to size up, especially in the face of increasingly unpredictable weather patterns. I got the...

I incorrectly stated it was 8.33A above, but it's actually 5.32A per panel.

I'm in southern california and it *never* gets that cold. I was planning on taking the rig east through the Fall, so I may upgrade the charge controller just to be sure. Is there a detriment to getting a charge controller that has a voltage/amperage far beyond what the system generates? (besides...

This is super helpful, thank you. The reason I was worried about exceeding the charge controller's limit in 2S2P config is because the solar panels have a Voc of 45.4V. Is this a degree that is rarely, if ever, actually met?

Hey y'all ~ I'm losing my mind trying to figure out whether a purely parallel or series-parallel config is the best way to go for my setup. It's a 21ft Travel Trailer; planning to use only solar + off-shore option with the possibility of alternator charging via tow vehicle later on. I've been...
