    MPPT solar charger in weatherproof enclosure?

    How bad of an idea is it to put a 20am MPPT solar charger in a weatherproof enclosure similar to this without any ventilation? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NLW5HMX?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details This would essentially allow me to have the MPPT solar charger exterior of a travel...

    Small 30W Solar Panel with bare wires?

    I recently purchased a small 30W solar panel to connect to a PWM SCC to serve as a trickle charger for 12v batteries at my hunting lease that sit for long periods of time. The question I have is the 30W solar panel has bare ends and I would like a waterproof connector like MC4 but they're 16...

    MPPT Max Solar Input Power and Voltage

    Quick question. Looking at the Renogy RVR40 MPPT solar charge controller I see that the specification states the max solar input voltage is 100v and the max solar input power at 12v is 520w. I assume both conditions have to be met and I couldn't put four (4) 200w panels in series with a VOC of...

    40A SCC max wire size 8awg?

    Good morning. Quick question. I'm looking at purchasing a Rover 40amp MPPT solar charge controller based on Will's recommendation. Based on my research this solar charge controller should be fused with a 50amp breaker and 6awg is acceptable for 50amps but the solar charge controller will only...

    DC Power Supply to MPPT SCC Input

    I was watching Will's 1st milk crate video and noticed that he connected a DC power supply (AC 110v-20v to DC 0-48v) to the MPPT solar input to boost the charging amps. Is this safe to do?

    AiLi Battery Monitor Calibration

    Good morning. I'm planning out a schematic for a portable solar build and I have a question related to the AiLi Battery Monitor. I intend to install the battery monitor in a milk crate similar to to some of the recent YouTube videos. Since it will be permanently connected to the battery I wanted...

    2200w 12v wire/fuse size question

    I'm piecing together a 2200W solar system for an off grid hunting cabin. Currently looking at a 2200W 12V pure sign wave inverter and I'm attempting to size the wire and fuse. Here is my logic: 2200 inverter watts / .85 inverter efficiency = 2588.24 DC watts / 12V DC = 215.69 max DC Amps Using...

    Solar Panel Fusing

    Is it necessary to fuse between the solar panels wired in parallel and the charge controller? I plan on having (3) 170w 12v moncrystalline solar panels wired in parallel connected to a 40a EPEVER Tracer4210AN. Thanks.
