Thank you for the advice, that is what we will do. The lower balcony railings are now full of panels. The roof is ideal as it faced south as well. The flat roof section is large and once up there working on the roof is fairly simple. Getting the panels up there is going to be a tussle though ...

The size of the panels is the distance from the roof peak to the flat roof. When mounted on the rails the addition to the angle to the flat roof will or should give a bit more space. I have read all over the net, installers have said as well as pictures showing spacing at the sides and the eves...

I am looking for some solar limpets a box of 24 or any number less. Thank you God Bless Chadd I NOW HAVE SOME SO NO LONGER REQUIRED THANK YOU : )

Good afternoon from Mullion Cove Cornwall. We have six 360 w panels facing south, mounted on balcony railings and one facing west. Another six 415 w JA Solar have arrived, we do not wish to mount on the main house roof, as the South facing part is a loft conversion mostly flat roof. The...

Thank you for the additional posts, we went for eight low cost 130 amp lead acid in the end, round £80 each. They have been ok as a stop gap, just to see. The feed back on Trust Pilot was good and delivery was fast. They keep the lights, large TV, two fridge freezers, computers, and my radio...

Yes they advertise at 3000 or more watts on the eBay listing, then after reading all the gumph below you end up with an inverter that is rated for continues use at 400 watts : ) I have given up messaging them, deception is part of their mind set, it is a pity as it makes you suspect them all...

I have read about balancing, but that was after I had connected the battery's all up : ) At sometime I shall rewire with new cable and terminals. I used heavy cable I had over from feeding 12 volts to rotary converters on WW2 transmitters. The battery terminals I purchased work OK, but are...

Will look further into Victron Quattro nice video lovely young lady as well : ) Thank you.

Lower current does sound good I have eight battery's so series parallel would be simple to switch to.

We live by the sea in Cornwall UK and it is a beautiful day today. : ) We have six 340 panels, four are Luxer and two JA, all facing due south on a balcony. Also one 190 used panel that facing west, that catches the evening sun over the sea very well. The six panels are connected in pairs to...

Thank you, lots of reading at that URL, I had searched on Google and the forum on 6000 watt 24 volts with little results. Missed the model number for some reason : ) It does look as if its surge capabilities are not as good as some. Looking at all that my Renogy 3000W 12 Volt is not doing too...

Thank you yes it looks good spec but as this one 1. WZRELB 6000W DC to AC pure sine wave inverter generator, 6000W continuous power, 12000W peak power, I can not find a satisfied user. Just hoping someone on the forum had a 24 volt 6000 watt inverter in regular use, that had lived up to its...

Thank you I will take a look. I have four charge converters that are 12 or 24, so rather than replacing those as well will stay with 24 for now. : ) Added : - Not what I was looking for as only 3500.

Good afternoon. Does anyone have a recommendation on a 24 volt 6000 watt sine wave Inverter Or two 3000 watt that can be used in parallel. There are several online that state 6000 continues power, but who to believe : ) I have not been able to find one with a user recommendation. Using a...

Good evening an update on the inverter. It causes problems with two of my frequency counters. They require a lot more signal to give a readout and on one the display shows a five on the last digit. The frequency on the display also varies with the input level. I shall change to 24 volt and a...

Thank youi for your reply, I now understand the unused part which was not clear to me before.

Good evening Gentlemen, Adding two JA 460 watt panels. Max voltage 42.13 each Max current 10.92 each 12 volt inverter so battery's are all 12 volt wired in parallel. Am I correct in thinking I will require two EPVER TRIRON4210N 40amp /12v 780watt charge controllers ? One for each panel, as...

I have an update : ) One of the questions I asked EPEVER service, but did not receive an answer was : - Can changes in the computer program change settings in the charge controller and stop it being recognised by the computer program ? I have now found that if you go into Parameters, device...

Good evening an update on the problem. I posted on an Eperit forum about my problem. Almost by return a gentleman called Fred Zhao from EPEVER Support had me do some tests, they including exchanging the communication port with one in another of my units. He then deducted the unit should be...

Good afternoon on a sunny day in Mullion Cove Cornwall : ) I have three Epever Triron 4210 charge converters which I connect one at a time to the computer. While playing with the settings of the computer program on one of them, it suddenly refused to communicate. The other two are fine, I...

I have just submited a review on the Renogy site, it remains to be seen if they have the honesty to publish it : ) The inverter Wipes out MW and some SW reception whether a mains receiver or a portable not at all good in that respect. As it is a sign wave inverter I expected better. There is no...

There is a lot online about inverter interference with WI FI, though it has not been a problem for us. Poor old MW and HF gets it every time. Going back years it was car ignition and early power tools. Then the line time base of 405 and then 625 TV. Now it is all this digital equipment we...

Thank you for your reply. What ever is generating the RF inside the inverter, is then passing it down the output mains cable. Not from the metal case or the battery input leads. If no lead is plugged into the inverter socket, no interference is heard. So filtering the mains out of the...

My Renogy 3000 watt pure sine wave inverter, produces a lot off interference on MW and Short Wave. Renogy 3000 watt This is on both a mains and portable radios at some distance. Once a lead is plugged into its 13 amp socket it radiates. I reduced 70 to 80% of it with a BT mains filter, but...

Good morning on this sunny day. : ) I had other cabling and sorting of webcams over USB Cat6 converters, for my saterlite dishes to get up and running. I shall get round to it soon. Watch this space but do not hold your breath : ) God Bless Chadd

It has started crashing the laptop so have connected to one for now, I read about the controller version that has a comms line. I am only really interested in the battery volts which I can now monitor from the lounge, though it would have been nice to be able to view all three controllers...

Good morning Raye we have lots of solar sunshine : ) I now have three controllers and six 135amp cheap leisure batteries. It is strange how your message arrived as I had just tried paralleling the solar converters last night. I think I identified the three controllers correctly first, by...

Thank you all for your excellent information : ) As soon as I get over the Christmas flue and can think again I shall act : ) Alanna and I had not even had a cold for tree years, and went Christmas shopping in Truro, which was a big mistake. Both well into out 70s we should have taken more...

Great to see the advert / spam was removed : ) In reference to my post above I extended it around 30 feet with no problems, not sure of the exact length.

Good morning. I have been in electronics since 1961 and have a workshop full of renovated equipment, so the soldering iron is no problem. Code is not my line but I can follow some of it, but often the terms used are not familiar so it is difficult to follow. to start with. For instance I do...

Good evening octal_ip thank you for your reply, it answered my question perfectly. Before I purchased the correct RS485 to USB converter, I tries one half of a cat5 Ethernet to USB extension device, that I use with the USB cameras on my satellite dishes. It locked the computer up and damaged...

Seasons greetings to you all : ) I have three Epever charge converters each has a RSJ485 socket. Using a converter lead RSJ485 to USB and installing a computer program Solar Station MonitorV1.95 all works as it should, after the usual messing about that is : ). The charge converters are in my...

I can Dream : )

The information at the link you kindly provided was of great help. I am about to change the feed points to diagonally instead of to one of the four batteries. That looked to be the simplest option out of those suggested in the article. While testing for some time with a higher load of about...
