    24v Inverter Recommendation

    I looked into the eco mode on the MPP 2024, and it doesn't appear to operate like the other eco modes you describe. On this unit, it is indistinguishable from bypass mode, but the who knows because the manual doesn't define it nor is there a power consumption rating for eco mode. Yeah, the 27W...

    24v Inverter Recommendation

    For my off-grid shed I was looking for a similarly-sized system. I decided on the MPP PIP2024 LV-MK. It meets most of what you're looking for and can support up to 60A utility charging, but it's idle power consumption is spec'd as "<30W". I've measured mine at 27W FWIW. The other con is the...

    Cheapest rooftop racking options

    Well I looked at a few systems but decided on the Tamarack. I like that it's everything in one kit sized perfectly for what I need. Thanks for posting the pics, it's a clean installation.

    Do not disconnect under load

    You're asking about a single panel, right? I interpret the "under load" part to mean, as part of an installation with many panels. With several panels, I'd definitely have a proper disconnect to interrupt the circuit. IMO a single panel is probably not an issue, but MC4 connectors are not the...

    24V- 12V in series VS 24V in parallel?

    For my shed project, I decided to go with a 24V system with four 12V 100Ah batteries, in a 2S2P setup. This creates 24V-200Ah (5.12kWh) storage. I like the modularity of 12V batteries in this way. At $300 a pop, I can easily add storage capacity by adding another 2S in parallel to this bank for...
