Hello, my current set up is a 24v 100ah, 12/24v renogy controller, and a 24/36/48v inverter. I am looking to upgrade from the 24v to 36v, so beside getting another controller, is there any other way (budget preferred) to support charging my pack at a higher voltage? Thanks so much in advance.

My current system is: panels to 24v SCC to 24v lifepo4 Now i want to also put a 12v and a small inverter to use to power some led. M my question, is there a way to charge the 12v with this system, without a AC charger that is. TiA

Hello all, i didnt plan it out very well and found out that i forgot one more bus bar for the negative wire for 40a SCC + battery + inverter, but then i have a 50a breaker laying around, can i use that instead of a bus bar? so battery will be on one side while the SCC and inverters to be one...

Hi, so i just assembled my lifepo4 back, double check everything w bms and all. but when i connected the pos wire (neg has already connected to the bms neg) to the pos battery, i got sparked. nothing else was connected to either battery nor the mppt at the time, and i was 99% sure i didnt...

so, i am building a 24v 100ah pack with a 8S overkill bms and raw cell but just realize that i dont have a dedicated 24v charger. so question is, can i charge it via the mppt? i understand that it will take longer than an ac charger and probably take multiple days, but beside that, any reason...

Hello, Another newbie question. So, my DC monitor reads 35v open circuit at the Mppt terminal when amperage is zero, but as soon as it starts to 'pull', amperage starts to rise, the voltage then drops to as low as 20ish. is this a normal behavior or do i need to upgrade my cable? i am...

hello, i have this Sun gtil2 1000w that is supposed to support the limiter, but for some reason, it doesnt appear to be working correctly for me, unless i configured it wrong or misunderstood the number. my current set up: the limiter goes from Internal to one of the main leg in US 2 phase...

so, i have 4 mixing panels that I need to keep below 100v. with the follow specs, does it matter how my 2S2P should be (2S small panels in series vs 1 large 1 small in series)? i assume no since the wattage would be the same, right? but would like a confirm in case i miss something. tia...

hello all i am considering a 24v setup and thinking of going with Ampere Time. they have 2 versions of the 100ah and i was wondering if anything i should be considering beside the size, the convenience of having one vs two, and an extra wire to series connect them, but being 'stuck' to a 24v...

first of all, please be gentle as i am a total noob lol. So i have a few panels leaning against my wall, planning to set up with a MPP all in one (so voltage would be up to 100vdc). from what I read so far is that while the all in one inverter will share the ground with the AC (?!?), i will...

Hello experts!!! I have 2 12v of the same rating 20ah but they are different brand, each with its own bms, and likely have different 'real' capacity. can i safely connect them in series to make one 24v? is there anything i should consider? one bonus newbie question, if my battery already have...

i have 2x 20ah (for now) rating lifepo4 and approximately 1kw array, what is the max load can i power during the day? beside the inverter and charge controller, is the battery still my constraint in regard my max load? for instance, i am planning on getting a 60a mppt, a 24v 1000w PSW...

do u guys have any recommendations for a $500 budget? i have no other requirements beside the budget, just want to play around. preferredly one that can charge (via solar) and discharge at the same time, if it is a possibility. thanks

I'd like to put my 2x 260w and 2x 300w used solar into use, with the goal is to offset some of my house eletrcity, some light bulbs or TV perhaps. that along with 2x 20ah 12v (also used, so the true capacity is probably 30ah), which of the options do you think is best for my case? a generator...

Hi all, does anyone have any recommendation for something similar to the wvc 1200? i am getting horrible performance, way below my low expectation lol (like, 300w out of 4x260w array), and after bought it, i found out that this gti likely wont last very long. but i like the idea that it has 4...

i have 4 panels basically laying on grass in my (residential) backyard, with some woods and bricks to help tilting, do i need to ground them? i don't think Will ever mentions with his on the ground set ups, am i wrong? thanks

So, I've just watched Will's video on the Growatt 6000w GTI and liked it, but it is a bit expensive for me and plus, i only have 4 panels which total around 1kw only. i then saw this 3000w one but i couldn't find many videos or many people talk about it either. anyone here has any experience...

So from what I have been reading, a lot of concern was that the inverter would send a lot more amperage to the house wires which could cause fire. so my question is, if i was to add an inline GFCI like this one (https://www.amazon.com/GFCI-Inline-Single-Outlet-Cord/dp/B01GSPTUZG) could that...

I have two 8.63a Imp and another two 8.35a Imp, planning to parrallel them, so technically my max current can be as high as 34a, right? most of the 'T' 4 to 1 connector rating is 30a. i saw this one rated for 50a, not sure if i can trust them. but let's say that i do get it and combine the 4...

So, I am still kind of unclear about those digital non-smart meters. I have a small 500w solar array (no net meter) that sometimes is able to produce enough power for me to see the dashed indicator on the meter goes the opposite direction, my Emporia also shows that I am putting power back to...

i have a couple of questions: 1. is 60ft (10 + 50 to be exact) of 10 awg from the 2p 260w panels (30v 8a each) to a grid tie inverter considered too long? 2. if i were to run 2 set of 10 awg wires and connect the y-connector at the inverter instead of being at the panels, does it make any...

Hi, Pretty beginner here, so please be kind :) I have 2x 20ah, one ExpertPower and one Miady. I wanted to connect them in parallel to increase the max continuous current to as close to 40A as possible. The two wires is 10 awg. I am currently waiting for these two voltages to settle to as...

So i have an 18v ryobi battery that wont charge. While there is no voltage reading at the terminals (.4ish volt), reading directly from the battery shows 18ish volts. All individual battery also reads 3.7ish. Does that mean my BMS have gone bad? Anything i can do? Edit: pics attached Thankz
