Re: SG cell difference in new Rolls battery bank
I think Rolls equalizing specs are higher, I would follow their manual. Agree on watching the temps, I think the Conext controller will do this, might even have a setable temp.1 · -
Re: SG cell difference in new Rolls battery bank
I would almost assume this is a standby system and not in general use, or perhaps just runs a single high wattage load, maybe a water pump? A 2400 watt array and a 6000 watt inverter doesn't make muc…1 · -
Re: Newbie Off-Grid Solar questions
It use to be very hard to "grow" a system, but easier today with LiFePo4 batteries. While still better to have batteries all the same age it's easier to rationalize buying/expanding lithium…1 · -
Re: Voltage drop when plugged into charge controller? (18-19V -> 12.7V)
If the system is in 'float' mode you may see an increase in current but not voltage, if the load is less than the available wattage of the solar panel. If larger than the wattage available, the volt…1 · -
Re: Voltage drop when plugged into charge controller? (18-19V -> 12.7V)
When you are testing the solar panel you are reading the open circuit value, or VOC. Once adding to a system, you are looking at the "System Voltage". If in direct sunlight you should see …1 ·
