    Do SCCs have a minimum amperage input requirement

    I understand: VOC input operates within a range, with minimum and maximum values which are strict for operation and safety respectively And Amperage input has a maximum value (which can be exceeded, although energy will be wasted)...but does it have a minimum value the same way VOC does? That...

    Please help me reconcile difference between what I've read here about Growatt and what Sig Solar tech told me today

    Hi--I'm not a total rookie, but still pretty new. I'm getting ready for my 2nd RV build--I'm planning on a 48V system so I can expand to a small cabin or shade structure down the road, initially based around one EG-LL 48V with about 800-1000W of panels on roof. I explained to the Signature...

    Safe to mount rigid panels on the over-cab roof of a class C?

    Kisae DMT1250, can I lower the required solar input voltage?

    I'm hoping to charge my battery via the solar input, using the output of my Bluetti 30A output. The Bluetti default is 13.5V which won't trigger the Kisae's minimum of 14.5V, so it's not accepting the current. Can I lower the Kisae's minimum input voltage? I'm also looking into increasing...

    Extending existing 8awg with 4awg, do I need multiple breakers?

    I'm upgrading the system in my RV and want to move the battery location while I'm at it. 8awg is already run under the floors, and I don't want to tear everything apart, so I'm planning to extend the existing wires to their new location. I'll be following Will's schematic for "400 Watt Solar...

    Upgrading Toyota RV electrical for full-time living/boondocking, seeking advice on configuring power and appliances

    I'm living in a 1990 V6 Toyota RV (Odyssey) with stock electrical system--original converter/charger, original distribution panel, Onan Microlite 2800 (with start switch in cabin), near-new non-smart alternator, near-new non-smart isolator, mostly-cooked lead-acid battery. I'm currently on...
