Hi,
I'm hoping somebody could please help me?
I have recently purchased a 'Renogy 200w 12v Solar Kit with Rover 20a Controller'. I had everything mounted ready to wire up and was just waiting on the battery and inverter to arrive. Long story short, I had to head out of town so my wife asked if I would like her father to set it up as he has electrical knowledge, I said sure why not..
I arrived back a few days ago, checked out the setup, looked great at first but noticed he had forgotten to put some fuses and a few other parts on. When I went to wire them in I noticed that the entire system has been set up in reverse, solar panels to the controller in reverse, and controller to the battery in reverse (battery to inverter was correct).
Now when I set it up correctly (followed the instructions exact read everything 3 times over) the controller won't turn on...it only turns on with wiring in reverse.
so my question is...how bad is this? or is it ok to run like this...it seemed to be working.
any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you for your time
