One thing I've learned is when it says it is a 100 watts fridge it needs a lot more power than you would ever think , I have a 500 va / 800 va burst inverter and it will not even try to power it , but go into instant overload , So not sure how that 1000 watt inverter will fair , and also that...

Hi , Sure this as been ask hundreds of time before , For long term storage should you store them at 60% or 100%. ( 3 or 4 months , over winter ) Some say 60% some say 60% to 100% and some just store fully charge ? Is there any problems with storing a life battery at fully charged state , I know...

That is what the tape measure says , external side to side . But I would guess 4 - 5 inch wide ? pre cast panel walls and a 6ft lift door ? with a 16 inch pitch

wide 2.55m external, and the roof is only a slit slope , not like a house .

So chainsaw it is then ;)

No , only about 1.3m of slope each side , so can't do that.

That is under consideration .

Limited space !!! , a single car garage 5m long east and west facing , so a 300w panel is 1m x 1.5m therefore will just get 3 panels to fit .

I'm planning for 3 x 300w panels in series , but 1 panel will be shaded around midday , so is it best to have a 2 x 300 w array and maybe put the other panel which is going to be shaded on it's own controller ? I'm thinking of setting up a time laps camera to find how much that tree is going to...

Due the next doors neighbor's tree, 1 of my panels will get shaded a part of the day . Does a shaded bring down a full array or do you just act like it is not there ?.

Thank you , I don't think I can get any Samlex EVO invertors in the UK , without being posted from the states . I will have to download the manual on the Victron Energy Multiplus inverters and see if I can set to main priority . I know Victron do a device called a filax which is a 15amp 3...

Hi all, what a busy and very active forum . At this time I'm just playing solar with a couple of 300w panels and a pair of 50ah life batteries , I want to start by powering my computers from solar (only about 40-80w , 24 hours a day ). I want a inverter which is powered from solar most of the...
