Hi Guys/Gals,
I have a solar set up on the rooftop lab and I need to combine the outputs of my three charge controllers into one output that goes to the test batteries. I can get cheap and easy combiners/splitters at Home Depot, But I notice that there are pretty nice ECO-WORTHY PV combiners but the problem with using them is the maximum rated current for each PV input is 10 amps and I guess in a perfect world, each of my charge controllers put out 30 Amps so what I need is a good DC combiner that has most of what I would need all inside the box, only requiring the wire hook ups, heck, I don't even mind some built in protection, If the ECO-WORTHY could handle more current for each input, it would be perfect. Some of you folks do this for living or even an active hobby, so I defer to your experience and knowledge. Minimum 3 inputs at 30 amps and of course the combiner would need to pass up to 90 amps on the output but that is a job for the AWG rating of the cables....the box just needs to accept the conductor dimensions. (it has to fit) I am going up to the roof to verify my grand claims of 30 amps each, if I find the information is different, I will edit. Thanks a heap guys, got to help the military officers get their microgrid thesis lab set up...what they do with is up to them.
