Howdy internet folks Im trying to see if this setup will work for me. I have 2 powerstations, powerstation 1 gets charged by solar and gets 100% charged by noon. Power station 2 gets charged via power station 1's 12VDC cigarette lighter port (like a daisy chain). Powerstation 2 is only 265Wh...

I would like to put about 4 to 5 100W flexible panels on the house roof with shingles (common US based houses). I would have preferred solid panels but that is not an option for me. I need to have the panels as low profile as possible with them blended in as much as possible. I know RV owners...

Looking at EG4 6K Off-Grid Split Phase Inverter | 6000EX-48HV. I need to have the unit with AC input as backup with Solar as the priority. Does this unit only take 220V AC input or can it take 120V AC input (regular house hold outlet) ?

I have a 7ft by 14ft area on my shed. I can go with a 100W panel and fit about 8 panels, 8 x 24.3Voc = 194.4V. Or I can go with 550W panel and fit about 4 panels, 4 x 49.95Voc = 199.8V. Is it better to go with small watt panel but increase the number of panels or go with a bigger watt panel and...

I'm reading the manual for JA solar Panel. The manual mentions this line "When Modules are mounted on rooftops, the roof must have a fire resistant covering suitable for this application". Im adding a 14 ft by 8 ft gazebo and using the PV panels for the roof. Do you guys generally add a fire...

Hello folks I'm going to setup an off grid system in my garage that will power a refrigerator, maybe charge the EV. The solar will be available in case of a grid power failure. Do I need to get a permit from the city (State of TN, City of Memphis) to mount the solar panels on the roof for an...
