    Battery discharge

    I have a battery bank set up of 4 100ah LIFEPO4 batteries hooked up in both series and parallel to make a 24v system, when I hooked them up I tried to have them all pretty close to the same charge, but as time goes on they keep getting further and further from each other. The ones that are being...

    circuit breakers

    Thank you so much! So I don't really need the breaker between the panels and system but a cut-off switch instead? And as for the batteries I used 1/0 awg copper wire and was also going to put a cut-off switch between them and the system too, would this require a breaker as well? Thank you...

    circuit breakers

    I'm installing solar on my bus and was wondering what size circuit breaker I should put in between my panels and growatt 24v all in one system, and also what size should I put between my 4 100ah liFePO4 battery bank if I need one? https://store.santansolar.com/product/rec-350w/ I have 2 of...

    Solar Panel review

    REC 350W 144 Half Cell Solar Panel Im looking at getting 2 of these solar panels to hook up to a 3000w growatt AIO system. with 4 100ah 12v LIFEPO4 batteries for a shuttle bus conversion. If anyone has any experience with them or santan solar please let me know! I'm having to email them about...

    best all in one system

    Thank you for the link! and I live in Florida so as i would get plenty of sun here now i plan to travel to places during times there may not be much sun that's why charging via generator and also having an alternator charger is a must and so i think i should be looking more in the 700-800w range...

    best all in one system

    that is good to know! and yes i would like to have as many things running on DC as possible, id assume it would just make things simpler right? hm despite that the product seems to be worth it though with all the things you can do, plus like you said this is a good recourse to use to help me...

    best all in one system

    I would think a good portion of it during daylight and the fridge would probably turn on less in the nights mainly LED lighting at night and a small fan or two (i should probably try to charge my electronics during the day) Thank you so much!!! that sounds very efficient! I don't think i...

    best all in one system

    I like the sound of this set up! So would you recommend and would it be cheaper to just buy the ac charger separate? it seems as though it may be a smart idea too just in case i were to have problems with the PSW it wouldn't effect my ability to still charge the batteries via AC charger...

    best all in one system

    i used one of the resources provided here on the site (Energy audit and sizing tool) and i think my average daily consumption would be roughly 2kwh. i was just hoping these models would have either type just something that can offset the high idle consumption. I will definitely have to check...

    best all in one system

    It would be mostly off grid and i would also like to be able to charge my batteries via shore or generator power. The main thing i like about the all in one systems is the how easy they are to install, as i have no experience with electrical work and am not extremely confident in my abilities...

    best all in one system

    What would you say is a reasonable amount of solar input to be effective and will also be able to fit on the roof. I was also leaning toward the Growatt, but do you know of any power saving feature? Thanks for you time

    best all in one system

    I'm setting up a system to go in my shuttle bus conversion. I'm thinking about getting a 530w solar panel and 4 100ah 12v LIFEPO4 batteries to offset the high consumption I know the all in one systems have. I know the MPP LV2424 has a power saving setting but was wondering how effective it is...

    would these work together?

    That is good to know thank you very much for the information!

    would these work together?

    Thank you so much for sharing all the info and recourses, it is greatly appreciated. I was also wondering if growatt has a power saving kind of mode? I was also looking at the MPP LV2424 and I read it had such an option. I am now thinking of getting 4 12v 100ah LIFEPO4 batteries. Using the...

    would these work together?

    I think I will go for the LFP batteries then especially if they can work with the Growatt without any additional setup. Im building this system to mount on a converted shuttle bus, so will probably only use one panel at the moment, and try to keep my consumption low but i will definitely have...

    would these work together?

    I am new to solar and have been doing my research and I think I've found a good set up for me using the growatt 3000w 24v all in one system ( https://watts247.com/product/spf-3000tl-lvm-24p/ ) with a a JA solar 530w half cell mono solar panel with these specifications: Rated Maximum Power...
