Thanks! This would be for 40v and 14 A, just 2 panels in parallel. so not high any size recommendations?

Thanks everyone.... I could put a DC circuit breaker ahead of the switch, so I can turn everything off, then change selection. How can I tell if a switch is DC rated?

I’m trying to figure out a way to wire a panel so that it can feed 2 different solar generators (separately). I want to not disconnect and reconnect the mc4 Solar connectors to the individual generators and was hoping there was a switch to go from one output to another easily

Hi everyone! Decided to downsize a bit... going to use only TWO panels, 2S configuration. and a 20A SCC. Battery and Inverter stay the same. Do I change my fuse sizes? (50 A ?) I think the 150A stays the same right? Do you recommend a switch between the battery and the SCC? Thank you

Mainly because I had some laying around…

Thank you!

Hi, I have 4 panels, to run 2s2p and will end up having about 15-16A at 70V to my SCC. Would 12AWG wire CCA be ok for this? about a 35 foot wire run. Thank you!

Is it easy to turn off inverter and still be able to charge the battery via solar?

If I change the inverter to a 1200 W/24 V inverter, would 100 amp fuse be appropriate? then 2awg wire between inverter and battery or 4awg?

Thanks! Do you have a recommended fuse (25a, 50a) you mentioned above?

Did you ever find an inverter that you could plug in Tesla level 1 charger?

so your load will only draw what is needed then? no worry about having a 480W converter fry say a USB charger that only wants 5-12 W?

I’d like to know this too! The newer looking ones are not Will’s choice on his blueprints, but not sure if that’s because he hasn’t tried, or hasn’t updated his …

Hi, I’m planning a 24v build and will likely use a 24v to 12v converter to power some 12V DC loads, like DC battery chargers, USB charging ports, via cigarette lighter adapters. How do you know what size fuses to put in the fuse block that is powered by The 24v to 12 converter? and what wattage...

did you ever figure this out?

How do I figure out the Amp size for the busbar?

Investigating an AIO either MPP vs Growatt Does the LV2424 allow the inverter to be switched off (physical switch?) and if so, what is the idle consumption of the unit? I only plan to use the inverter a few hours a day. and how good is power saving mode? Why wouldn’t everyone util it (unless...

I may also add a 24 V to 12 V converter. So that would add one more item, probably best to use a bus bar?

Thinking about using this Epever SCC for my 24V setup. There seems to be some old and some new info on this model. According to the Amazon listing, this model does support LiFePo4 batteries out of the box, without fussing around with settings, but on other posts I see that you need the MT-50...

https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-Common-Busbar/dp/B0091VHLW4 how about this?

what busbar do I need? 100A or 150A?

THanks, so 8 gauge everywhere, except 2awg from battery to inverter would be ok?

I’m a little bit concerned about how much electricity the unit will take when not powering anything. I have heard that the only ones may have higher standby consumption.

Does the sizing on my breakers and fuses look OK? Any suggestions on wire gauge? Thanks

Hi, I’m looking to design a small system with 4 panels, 260w each, using 24v system. Can. You please look to see if any improvements/ suggestions? Any ideas on favorite SCC, Battery, inverters as well. What gauge wires should I be using? What am I missing? Thank you!

Imp 8.5A Vmp 30.7V

Following... I was thinking about using EcoFlow delta (or a diy setup) with 2S2P setup with 4 panels. 260W used REC panels, Open Circuit Voltage (V) 37.8 Short Circuit Current (A) 9.01 If I did math right, 76V and 19 A = 1444w, or at 15 A max 1140w or is 3 panels almost the same if I...

Thanks. Very helpful

Good point! Anker : XT60 Input 11-32V⎓ 10A; 32V-60V⎓ 20A (1000W Max) I didnt see the max input is 1000w. can do 3 panels (maybe 4 safely) For the panels: Vmp 30.7V Isc 9.01A Voc 37.8V Could I do them 3 panels P and then 1 by itself? Thinking about this vs EcoFlow Delta pro vs DIY with...

Hi, I have 5 panels I'm considering powering an anker 767. They are 260w approx 40voc panels. because they are in 2 separate locations, the panels would be mounted in a group of 3P and a group of 2P. Because the anker supports one PV input, there is an XT60 plug where they all come together and...

Hi everyone. Looking for suggestions on a 24V 200AH battery. Saw the EG4 one, and may do that one ($300 shipping ouch!) but wondering if any others are recommended here. Thanks!

I'm new at this but intrigued by what you are trying to do... noob question, if the batteries are charged, can you run the Emporia off your EG4 inverter at night without issues (until battery is too low?)

Thanks for the link.very informative. Why on the mixed panel Scenario at the bottom, mixing 2 MPPT and a PWM SCC? why not use 3 MPPT? Mainly to save on cost between the two SCC if you have 2 "junky" panels that you just want to find a way to use?

Thanks, never considered that. Good ideas. Any advantage to doing 3 small SCCs vs one larger one? besides having multiple points of failure?

Thanks. When adding say more panels another SCC can you simply connect a second one straight to the battery?
