I built this system and it works. I wanted to add a Renogy Battery Meter RMB500
Per instructions for the Renogy Battery Meter:
I put the shunt inline with the Negative to the battery on B-
I put the charge controller and inverter on P-
In that configuration, the battery meter flashes all the time and shows discharging while the charge control shows its charging.
IF I move the SCC- to the same post B- as the battery, the meter appears to work properly.
Renogy support was not really able to help me on why when wired correctly with SCC- on P- it constantly flashed.
They suggested to contact EpicSolar about the 40 MPPT controller compatiblity with the Renogy Battery Meter.
Please also advise your opinion on best practice in my circuit design.
Maybe that is the problem here?
You can see how I consolidated my connections for all positives directly on the 410W Inverter. I remember in basic circuit design it doesnt matter if they are all on the inverter or at the battery + post. This gives me only 2 leads to the battery and 2 for the single solar panel its semi-portable.
IF only someone can advise why my battery meter seems that it works correctly when wired with the SCC- connected to B- instead of P- as directed by the Renogy manual.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.
