Good morning ,
My solar install is dangerously close to complete. It’s been operational on the 12v side of the RV for a few weeks now and running great. While working away in the garage last night the last piece of the puzzle finally arrived 2 months after ordering.
Of all the complexities within this system and the ridiculous amount of research, I have a couple of what seems like pretty simple operational questions I’m hoping folks can help answer.
1.) I have a 150/100 SCC and the multiplus both with the potential of charging the batteries. I suspect that I use the same charge profile settings for both chargers?
2.) If both the solar charger and multiplus are operating i.e. the sun is at high noon and I’m plugged into shore power, do they compete or just magically figure things out?
3.) I’ve read somewhere that a resistor should be placed inline if the positive from the inverter to the battery the first time the battery is connected to avoid arcing. Is there a size of resistor that’s recommended?
4.) And lastly, I can’t seem to find a way to energize the multiplus enough to connect to it and configure it, without it actively powering the rig or charging the batteries. The inverter power button has a position I and II, could that be it?
Many thanks!
