Hello folks,
In reading all the documentation on the various SCCs, the documentation is consistently saying to have battery connected to SCC before attaching solar panel(s). However if my memory serves me correctly, I have seen videos and posts that conflicts with that documentation, essentially stating there has been no evidence that solar panels hooks to SCC WITHOUT attached battery has damaged the SCC.
Is there a final verdict? Will attaching Solar Panel to SCC without attached Battery damage the SCC, or not?
Reason I ask is, my EPever Tracer 30 amp SCC is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I am using the Chargery BMS8T with the two 400 amp DC Contactors. If the voltage hits the overcharge cutoff, it disconnects the battery from the SCC and the Solar Panel is still attached to the SCC. Hence, I am concerned that the new SCC will be damaged. Or am I misunderstanding something?
Insight appreciated!
Mike
P.S. - Damn those DC Contactors get hot!
