I am enjoying new 767 with expansion battery. I just finished test and here are my results: I ran refrigerator and small deep freezer overnight on the 767 and next day the expansion battery was at 1% and the main unit at 73%. I started Recharge using (3) 200-watt NewPowa solar panels. It was 3...

Tariffs on solar panels threaten Biden's climate change goals - "the SEIA cut by 46% its forecast for new solar installations in 2022 and 2023" https://www.yahoo.com/news/tariffs-on-solar-panels-threaten-bidens-climate-change-goals-174747459.html With the coming summer outages and supply chain...

Yahoo 'sniffed' my browsing and linked me to ad about leasing solar panels - anyone heard of this? https://www.homesolarprograms.com/li/quotes/

Hi, Could you please 'connect the dots' for me which values the Jita is saying to put into the Rover 40amp controller for this LifePO4 battery? Thanks! Renogy Rover settings

I thinking of using my new LifePO4 battery bank as backup power only, with solar panels on a cart I keep in garage and only roll out as needed. I am charging each new battery now one at a time. I'll set it all up and test with inverter & solar panel charging and then I could just save all those...

Proposed power-fail power cabling scenario. Theory: It's less of a power hit to run 12-volt devices directly from 12 volts rather than use inverter and transformers. But - I notice concern about cable thickness and distance with solar items. Is that just between batteries and controller...

Hi, My bugout van (I plan on bugging IN but...) has (3) 160-watt Renogy panels and (4) 100AH AGM batteries. Initially put up a 40Amp MPPT controller but someone elsewhere said it was overkill for this system so I changed it to the Wanderer.

This guy is great - simple explanations of How Does the Power Grid Work? but what drove me to his channel was: What Really Happened During the Texas Power Grid Outage?

Hi, Not trying to get political but, with the current administration's hostility towards fossil fuels and promotion of going green with more EVs etc, I'm concerned about putting greater Demand on our grid without increasing Production. I don't see actions that are increasing reliable production...

Hi, Most of the package deals I see involve all 100-watt panels but I'd like fewer, higher wattage panels. I'm such a gypsy that I have been buying solar generators instead of doing the components route (which I DO have installed in my van). I'm not finding much on benefits/drawbacks of using...
