I have four 12v Rich solar batteries (LFePO) in series making a 48 volt battery for my LV6548. Last two mornings I go out and there is a fault and batteries are not charging and shows they are empty. Each battery checks out just a bit over 12v EXCEPT the last one that the positive terminal...

A friend has a greenhouse and wants to install multiple fans inside to move air, but doesn't want to use an inverter or batteries, just wants to power the fans directly off the solar panels so they run only during the day. My question is how to calculate the size of a panel array based on how...

Greetings. I had an LV2424 I was using on my koipond with 4 12v Rich Solar batteries configured for 24v and 10 200watt Rich Solar panels hooked up 5panels in string, 2 strings. This setup worked fine for the LV2424, but the 2424 stopped switching over to utility, and it would just drain the...

Had two MPPT 6548 solar inverters which I am replacing with a Sol-Ark 15K, while skimming through the manual it states if you are hooking up more than 2-3 batteries, they must be run through a busbar before the inverter. The SOK rack has 5 SOK batteries (no busbar) and just have them hooked up...

I have two LV6548 inverters with 5 SOK rack batteries, used the pylon setting and after several days would get code 62. Would shut the inverters down and this would reset, but problem would reoccur several days later. Batteries SOC varied from one another, OVP tripped on the batteries, one had...

Have read the battery cable lengths must be the same on POS and NEG otherwise it effects the volts. I am installing two LV6548 inverters for two phase, all battery lengths equal but I forgot to account for a fuse (125 amp) in the POS cable from buss bar to inverter which is approx. 4" long and...

I've always had a charger that was basically plug and play (12v car batteries) I now have LiFO4 SOK batteries 48v and one of Dexters battery chargers but I have no idea what setting to put in for the volts and amps. Recommendations? Thank you,

I have most of my supplies and planning my install of two LV6548 inverters to power my house. But am a bit confused on the grounding line coming from utility. For utility power IN on the two 6548s, do I use the utility ground, or my own earth ground I will be using on the AC power OUT to my...

Will the MC4 connectors on 10 AWG connect with 8AWG, ie opposite pieces that would normally work together if same wire size. Thanks. Jacj

I will be installing my solar array 150' from the inverter and decided to go with 8awg wire, when looking for connectors to fit, it has turned out to be challenging. I purchased this crimper with dies for regular 10 and 12 awg connectors...

My original plan was to use one LV6548 to power my 120v needs in my house, but want to use the existing breaker panel box so I've decided to purchase another LV6548 so I can run two power legs to the box to simplify my install. I plan on installing a small breaker box and have it connected to...

I have an LV6548 and planning an install, but am having a terrible time figuring my PV array to stay below 250VOC and 18A per MPPT. What panels are you running and what is your configuration? I am having trouble keeping the amps below 18 with my configurations and the watts high. I would...

I have an MPP Solar LV2424 inverter with two batteries, bought two more batteries about a month ago and they have been sitting in the solar shed waiting to be hooked up. I have read all batteries should be close to same voltage when connected. My plan is: 1. Charge each 12v battery with my...

I am planning to install a system for the 120 volt usage in my house. Have a LV6548 inverter, have decided to go with SOK (probably 5) LiFeO4 batteries, and have found a good deal on Silfab 380 watt panels locally (supporting local economy, supporting American made, great specs). I wish to...

So by what I've read on this forum, one can over panel the inverter and the MPP Solar inverters will only take what they can handle from the panels in terms of watts as long as one stays below the amps and volts. My plan is to string together 12 Rich Solar 200 watt into two series of 6 in...

Hello all. New to solar, started off with a solar kit which I assembled per their diagram but was never happy with it. It was an MPP Solar LV2424, 10-200 watt panels in two strings of 5 paralleled, two LiFePO4 batteries. It would revert to utility, usually on hot days but not always. So decided...

I bought an MPP Solar LV2424 and it's had issues from day one. Looking for a more reliable inverter that I want to be off-grid for the most part. Currently I have 10-200watt Rich Solar PV panels, 4- 12v 200AH Rich Solar LiFePO4 batteries and my load is my koipond pulling 565 watts with an...

Hello. First off, I have 10 200 watt panels, 2 strings of 5 each in parellel. 2-LiFeSo4 200AH batteries in series to make 24v. I have my output source set to SBU. I need input please on : 1. Voltage point back to utility source. 2. Voltage point back to battery mode. I think the...
