    Question about AMP output from 200w Renogy panel

    Ok last question on this topic. I will probably just remove the 4th panel and live with the lower watts and amps coming to the yeti. But before I do that, if I was to physically cover the 4th panel in the high output hours of the day eg 10am to 3pm and only have the panel uncovered outside of...

    Question about AMP output from 200w Renogy panel

    Thanks for those replies. It makes a more sense now. I checked the specs and it states Battery Pack capacity 3032wh (10.8V , 280.8AH) Power Pole charging port 14-50V, up to 50A (600W) what is happening is once it has been sitting at the 49.6 amps for about 5 minutes the yeti shuts down all the...

    Can you use a breaker between 1 PV panel and the Branch connector in a Parallel system?

    Hi I have the Yeti 3000x and currently have 4 200 watt renogy panels connected in parallel. The 3000x has a max input of 600w from Solar but was advised I could connect 800w from Goal Zero due to the inefficiency of panels. The problem I have is that on a sunny day i'm getting more than 600w...
