    No sun, batteries drained, system won't work correctly now!

    Hello, I've had a 800W Solar array on my shuttle bus for over a year, things have worked great. We're currently on a trip and have experienced very little sun. After two days of clouds and rain, our system shut down in the middle of the night. This morning, we drove out of the rain and hit...

    2000w Inverter/Charger just stopped working

    We've had our 2000w inverter charger installed in our bus and it's been operational for about a month. It's worked perfectly. We are on our maiden voyage and didn't have any issues for 3 days. We plugged in to shore power at a state campground and everything was working as it should. Later...

    Epever "para error" for 24v system

    The continuous beep starts the second the batteries are fully charged. The inverter led lights switch from green "power saver function on line" to green "Inverter power on line, battery charger off", with the continuous beep.

    Epever "para error" for 24v system

    Everything seems to be working, however, still getting a continuous beep on the inverter. When the batteries are full it beeps non-stop.

    Epever "para error" for 24v system

    Ok, I switched battery type to sealed and all of the default parameters came up for 24v batteries. However, I can't change any settings except for equalize and boost time. It seems like they're all correct now if the default settings will work.

    Epever "para error" for 24v system

    I'm trying to do similar to that, however the MPPT isn't allowing me to change them from the default 12v settings, at least not by more than .1 or .2. I keep getting the Para. Error.

    Epever "para error" for 24v system

    I have 4 200w 12v panels of solar on my RV roof, two each in parallel then in seties for a 24v system. I have a 50amp Epever MPPT, and a 2000w Sun Gold Power inverter charger. I have two SOK, 206ah batteries in series for 24v. I am trying to set the parameters in the MPPT for the SOK...

    24v to 12v converter in 24v system.

    I need 24v to 12v converter for my shuttle bus conversion. I have 800w solar, 2 SOK 12.8v batteries that I'm putting in series, 2000w 24v inverter charger, 50amp mppt a Victron 1000 DC Lynx Distributor and a 110 and 12v distribution box. I've been following plans from others and learning as...

    Inverter/Charger/ DC to DC charger Confusion

    No disrespect taken. I'm not an electrician or an electrical engineer and am trying to learn, that's why I'm talking to to people who obviously know more than I do. I've learned a bit and will continue to try. Thanks very much for taking all your time with me.

    Inverter/Charger/ DC to DC charger Confusion

    So with that being said, would you recommend a 2000 or 3000w Inverter charger, there's not that much difference in price and paying for thicker wire doesn't really matter to me at this time. And welding anything shut is not going to happen, lol.

    Inverter/Charger/ DC to DC charger Confusion

    Yes, we are looking to the future and possibly adding batteries if needed. We just don't want to have to replace our Inverter, we'd rather "grow into it" or at least have the capability to grow into it.

    Inverter/Charger/ DC to DC charger Confusion

    Everything we've purchased is 12v and we were planning to do the 24-12v step down converter.

    Inverter/Charger/ DC to DC charger Confusion

    I think I misunderstood your system voltage question. We have already bought 2 12v 206ah SOK batteries that we plan to connect in series to create a 412ah 24 volt system. I hope I explained that correctly.

    Inverter/Charger/ DC to DC charger Confusion

    New Mobile Solar guy here. We are converting a 2002 Ford E450 Shuttle Bus into an RV and are adding solar for off grid camping. So far we have done an energy audit and have concluded that we will need an 800 watt solar array, a 2000 watt inverter and at least 400 Amp hrs of batteries...
