You have a complex system with hybrid controller, not for me to follow. But thanks.

Thanks, but it's working well the way it is. I got this setup from another Youtube solar wizard. Why would I feed the inverter from the "load" output of the mppt charger?

How can you NOT connect the controller to the battery when the inverter is ALSO connected to the battery?

The positive from the battery goes to both, the inverter and the battery input on the charge controller. I've not seen any other way to connect them. Why do people always ask this? I can isolate the inverter by switching off the breaker that's under the mppt controller. But my question is...

I have a 24v battery system hooked with a 24v 3000-watt power inverter and 600 watts of solar panels. I need to know, definitively, that I can run my inverter simultaneously with my MPPT charge controller during the day without damaging either while powering appliances through my dc to ac...

My eco-baeerss panels tested ok at 69-70 watts per panel during 95% temperature outside. Thank you.

Thanks. Maybe I was testing the wrong way, I'll try joining the connectors and using the clamp on the meter tomorrow. I'll update the post.

I just got these 100w solar panels made by eco-baeerss. Voltage measure looks good at 21.6 but when I measure amps I barely get .71 amps in full sunlight. This was measuring the positive lead by itself stretch out. My 6 count meter reads 00.27 amps. Am I reading it wrong? Is my panel bad?

It's an 18 yr old fridge, but it works very well. The label (see pic) says 6.5 amps at 115 volts, so = 747 watts "full load". Is "full load" a clue as to what the numbers mean?

Thanks for all of this. I'm trying to understand the energy audit. Just to run my full size refrigerator that uses 6.5 amps at 115 volts I calculate 747 watts per running hour at about 17,928 per day. I just ran the audit for the fridge only. Based on the results (see image), how many 100w...

What about hail, wouldn't glass break under hail?

Thanks for all the answers here. What do you all think of the flexible solar panels vs the regular glass and frame types? Which is more efficient? I am in favor of the flex ones because we get a lot of thunderstorms in Florida and I'm thinking that the flex panels are lighter and more sturdier...

Thank you, I'll do the audit spreadsheet. Great info!

Hi everyone. Brand new here. I wish to understand if I have my understanding right. If I have five 100w panels each potentially producing up to 500w per sunny day, that gives me 2,500 watts of power for the day. Is this the same as saying that I'm generating 2.5 Kw daily? Does this also mean...
