Re: How to determine the optimal Solar installing angle
We just set ours to the optimum winter angle (60 degrees) and leave them there, we generate so much excess in the summer even at the winter angle that it's not worth the effort of adjusting our …1 · -
Re: I need help diagnosing my solar system as my inverter does not recognize my solar array
OP. Wiring 10 in series will double voltage, but it’ll cut amps in half. Meaning no change in power (watts) available to charge. Consider getting an EG4 Chargeverter. You can then charge direct from …1 · -
Re: I need help diagnosing my solar system as my inverter does not recognize my solar array
OP. Consider troubleshooting your array. You mentioned lightning damage. Disconnect all of the modules, then test them one by one with a multimeter and a clamp meter. See what they output for volts a…1 · -

Re: Updating my solar system
Cool setup! For that many panels, I’d definitely go 48 V, less loss, smaller cables. Just make sure your charge controller can handle the higher voltage/current, and size the wires for the amps and d…1 · -
Re: MPPT not going into float at float voltage setting.
"Float voltage" is the voltage the controller will go to after switching to float mode. It has nothing to do with when that change occurs. The charging stages are well described in the manu…1 ·
