Happy to see the good news. You're a treasure to the community mate!

Assuming you have the SF4865, yes. Those will work. Because you are running a 12v system, I would recommend putting the two panels in parallel so as to not exceed the recommended 60v parameter. Though, the system is rated to accept up to 150v if necessary.

If you look at science as a snapshot, it can seem unreliable based on our achieving new levels of accuracy and understanding. But, that's the beauty of the scientific method. Theories are only theories, and the scientific community strives to improve them. Learning and applying the scientific...

That is true as well.

I believe the AC200 only has a 90% Depth of Discharge, meaning that it will reserve 10% of the battery. Additionally, you're probably looking at 90% efficiency for the inverter. 1700 x .9 x .9 = 1377. Considering that you were running near 1C discharge, 1300 (94% rated capacity) isn't too bad.

The test is being run from the DC plug, so the inverter efficiency isn't at play here. That would mean 716 x .9 = 644.4, so based on the results of the test, it puts it at that 90.5% rated capacity. Still not bad considering the price though. I'm regretting not grabbing one.

I thought that the first time I had an impossible burger as well. I've been buying the 1lb impossible packs at the grocery for a little over a year now. It's cheaper than high quality free range beef if you get it on sale. The impossible breakfast sausage is also really good.

I'm a fan of impossible. I can't stand the taste of beyond beef though.

I'm not really sure, but could it be due to the freezer cycling on and off after it reached the set temperature? I know the inrush on a compressor can be higher than the operating current, so if the compressor is cycling on and off that could be a reason for the spikes, potentially. If you try...

I've been able to find used 24V panels on Facebook Market place and Craigslist at pretty good prices, nearing Santan Solar's pricing. Even if the panels don't give full output, they still run much cheaper than new 12v panels on cost per watt. I'd check them out in your area. For example, I'm...

I've been trying to make the same decision for my system. The Growatt 24V SPF 3000TL LVM or the MPP LV2424. As neither of these units are UL listed, it seems to just be a comparison across specs and price, but I don't know anything about these units other than Will's videos: As for the 4...

There's already been a locked thread on this topic in the Chit Chat section, lest we repeat history, this thread should be closed as well.

Yea, self-degrading space flotsam is better than leaving trash up there to not only clog satellite lanes, but also present a risk to any of us down here when their orbits degraded.

The 20ah have a major issue with the over-voltage protection cut-off being way too low. If you were go with one, I think the 36ah are actually a great deal.

My Jackery 160 (the little buddy) caps at 34w solar input as well, this seems to be in line with the charge times listed in the manual.
