The description at Signature Solar for this product states it is adjustable from 25-35 degrees.

You can not run without a battery with this charge controller, they have battery less inverters that might be possible but the battery is in the system to keep the voltage more constant. If you have clouds without a battery, the system will shut down and the biggest problem of not having a battery is starting up the compressor. Needs 6-7 times the normal running amps to just start the compressor. They now make mini splits that do not require an inverter or battery to run during the day, you could also connect to grid or battery for when there is no sun out and be able to keep running and can limit the input watts to 600 watts. The battery is needed to keep the system stable and be able to handle the inrush amps of startup surges. Hope this helps you to understand better. Hope you have a truly wonderful and blessed day.

Hey thanks for the info. I believe this set is meant for off grid solar which does not usually require a permit since your solar will not be connected to the grid in any way. Sounds like you found something that you can submit for permit approval. Good luck with your project. Thanks again for sharing. Hope you have a blessed day.

@@tonyastokley5165 we grow cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, leaf lettuce, butter leaf lettuce, purple leaf lettuce, romaine to name a few. Green peppers, mini peppers, jalapeño peppers just to name a few. Butternut squash, basil, peppermint keeps the bugs and neighbors cats away and spreads rapidly and makes the garden smell really good. The clay pots are great for cherry tomatoes and.peppers since the soil stays warm winter sun warming 24 in deep clay pots. Cucumbers, egg plant. We can pretty much grow almost anything for next few months, frost bite in January and February when gets close to 32 degrees overnight. We cover plants with cloth to keep from getting severe frost bite in plants, but some years we don’t drop below 40 overnight in winter. We grow into June, then pull out plants early June and let soil rest over summer. We do not water in summer but add new miracle grow soil to the top after we break up soil and water in September. We usually plant seeds and grown plants after day temps stay below 100 degrees. Going to be 111 today and 113 tomorrow so still have a week or few weeks before planting so just keeping soil wet all the way down the 16 inches of soil. We had much better crop and harvest with 12 inch deep soil than with 6 inch deep soil. So now we should do better with 16 inch deep soil. I add 1 inch of new soil a month over the winter to keep nutrients in soil and use miracle grow sprayer every 2 weeks to get plants to flower more and grow more veggies. We tried corn with mixed results but the corn seeds are now no nutrients so we don’t grow. We use seeds from previous years crop that are acclimated to as winters and do much better than store bought seeds. We plant celery stalks from store leaving 2-3 inches left on stalk into garden and also plants romaine ends in garden as well that we bought from store with 2-3 inch end into soil in garden with 1 inch not under soil. We also cut our celery and lettuce that has grown in garden and leave 3 inch trunk to start regrowing again. Will regrow all winter long. Hope this helps. Hope you have a truly wonderful and extremely blessed weekend.

Hi, my pool season last year through December using pool cover and my 17,000 Btu pool heater. I started my pool season in Early February with the help of my 127,000 Btu pool heat pump heater which I use on my solar. I use both pool heaters on my solar. This year I changed my solar arrays and also switched the poly solar panels for mono solar panels. I now use the EG4 3000 watt off grid inverters,4 in parallel and should be able to produce the 6500-7500 watts needed to run pool heater during the day. I run my pool over night at 1200 rpm’s and during the day when sun is on the pool cover, I increase rpm’s on pool pump to 2400. I do not have a bypass for heaters. The water flows through the heaters when on and off so no need for a bypass. I bought my pool cover and reel from Amazon, both under $100 each. I can use the 17,000 Btu pool heater during the day to keep water warm and add 2-5 degrees when very little sun on pool. If you get sun on your pool all day long in winter or most of the day, that will help a lot to heat pool. I usually drop 2-5 degrees overnight when it gets below 50 degrees overnight. That’s where that 17,000 pool heat pump does a good job to recoup the temp during the day. It in January and February I have to use the 127,000 Btu pool heater. It gets down below 50 degrees at night and even down into the 30’s in February. But if I run the big pool heater 4-6 hours a day on solar, I can keep my pool temp between 82-88 degrees. The 127,000 Btu pool heater needs around 12,000 watts of solar from mono panels to run and I can only produce the 6500-7500 watts needed between 10am to 3-4 pm. You could run the pool pump on grid power like I use to, it is 9 cents a kWh out here in the winter so 9 times 6 kWh is 54 cents an hour to run times 6 hours $3.24 a day to keep pool heated using solar pool cover as well. The reel had to be put together and works well but when I just want to clean pool or go for a quick swim, I just pull pool cover off and fold over on ground as I remove it, much easier to put back on when I’m done cleaning or swimming. I do all this by myself and it only takes about 2-4 minutes to remove pool cover and the same to pull cover back over the pool. The pool cover with my shape of pool, like a peanut, tends to be hard to roll up and flattens out the bubbles because there is a lot of drag when reeling up so bubbles get smashed. You want the bubbles to stay full size to get the heat. The sun out here in Phoenix AZ kills the pool covers in just 2 years, I don’t think the sun out there is as intense so you might get 3-4 years out of pool cover. I usually get the 14 mill plastic cover. 200 um. Price has increased to over $100. Last bought October 2023. Try just keeping the pool cover on without a heater. My pool is still 90 degrees even though we got down to 86 degrees last week. If your pool has sun most of the day, your pool will stay warm. If it get a lot of sun, run your pool pump on 2000 rpm’s to distribute the heat in water evenly, pool covers tend to heat the top 12 inches really hot but not below that so you have to run pool pump on at least 2000 rpm’s to evenly distribute heated water. Then just 1000-2000 rpm over night just to keep the chlorine moving through pool so you don’t get algae. I installed a jacuzzi variable speed pump myself. Paid for itself in electric cost savings in just 2 years. When I put pool cover back on after swimming, I just get in pool, grab pool cover and walk it over to the other end, takes maybe 1-2 minutes at most. Then I just get out. Try to keep pool cover flat without any large bubbles when on water. Pool cover will shrink a little over the 2 years. I usually cut the pool cover to the shape of my pool and add 3-4 inches extra all the way around the shape of pool. Wherever water is not covered, it will get cold in that area fast and the pool cover needs to lay as flat as possible to transfer heat. Bubbles need to face down. The smooth surface should be facing up, bubble in water. Like I said, if you get full sun on pool most of the day in winter, a pool cover might keep it warm most of the winter by itself with no heater. My pool is shaded right now thus time of year, only 40 percent of pool is in sun during the day, but it is enough to keep at 90 degrees by just using pool cover so far. Next month through February, the pool will be completely shaded for 4/5 months. That’s why I have to heat it. It a little over $100 to try using pool cover, what do you have to loose. Hope this info helps.

Good afternoon, I just posted a video trying to answer all your questions. Let me know if you have any other questions. Hope you have a truly blessed weekend and find all the answerers in the video you were looking for.

There are settings on the charge controller you can set not to go below that value. You have to also monitor a set up like this. This is just the bare bones to show solar will run an ac. I live in AZ where we have over 320 days of sunshine. If you live in an area where you have a lot of days with clouds or rain. I would suggest you do not do this. I just wanted to show you can run a window ac with solar. I now have evolved to run my whole house upstairs 3 1/2 ton and downstairs 4 ton heat pumps to air condition my house using only solar in the day and LiFePO4 battery bank at night. I also installed and can run 2 - 12,000 but mini splits upstairs and 2 - 12,000 Btu mini splits downstairs instead of the 3 1/2 ton and 4 ton heat pumps. We also run our pool pump 24 hours a day as well as in the winter when we don’t need ac or heat, we run our 127,000 Btu pool heat pump pool heater. We run 5 freezers and a refrigerator in the garage along with a full size washing machine and heat pump fryer and can run a dishwasher as well. We keep our house at 72-76 degrees even when it is 115 degrees outside. We also air condition our garage as well. All these mini splits have the ability to heat or cool. Check out our other videos to see all we do. Thanks for your input. Hope you have a truly wonderful and extremely blessed week

@@loydhicks3413 some inverters can be connected in parallel and some can not. Always best to get the one you can parallel for in the future when you want to expand your off grid system. These in the video can be connected in parallel but can not give you more than 120 volt output.

I can only use these mounted on wall this way from August to May in mostly in winter months. But they work well since I have other solar panels that will get no sun or very little sun in winter months. Thanks for your input. Hope you have a truly wonderful and blessed week

I already have all my inverters, why would I buy another one when these are working perfectly fine. Not sure which inverter you are talking about especially for the motor home. I only need to run my mini split in motor home and I already have everything I need. Don’t really need 230 volt inverter. What inverter are you referring to? The 4-EG4 inverters have been working flawlessly, no problems at all. They are extremely light to mount on wall at just 18 lbs and have 50 amps each for start up inrush amps. That 200 amps I can use for inrush amps. It sure a 230 volt inverter can even come close to that insane amount of power. I can start and run my 3 1/2 ton, 4 ton and 2-12,000 Btu mini splits all at the same time. That’s close to 8000 watts with all that running. Let me know what 230 volt inverter you were referring to, in interested to know. Thanks for your comment and hope you have a truly wonderful and extremely blessed week

@@GypsyPhoenix-x8t hello, first, I do not earth ground my solar systems. I use neutral bonding in the electrical panel. I do not know weather copper wire on a boat is dangerous or not. If you needed split phase 120/240 volts. EG4 has several products you can use. I actually use the EG4 3000 watt if grid inverters, 4 in parallel to be able to produce 12,000 watts output. If you use 2 inverters in parallel, you could get 6000 watts output and still get split phase to run your loads. You can connect up to 5000 watts in solar on each inverter in one single string. You could get 400 watt solar panels and connect 10-12 in series to get close to 5000 watt input for each inverter. If you only used one EG4 off grid inverter, you could get 120. Volt pure sign wave output. Need 2 inverters in parallel to get split phase. 9000 and 12,000 Btu mini splits can come with 120 or 230 volt input. Anything larger than 12,000 Btu mini split is 230 volts. 400 watt solar panels come on different sizes but 40x70 is pretty much the smallest size. The inverters are different for on grid and off grid. On grid requires 120/230 volts to already be connected to inverter as where off grid inverter does not need grid power to work. It converters dc solar panel voltage to alternating current for output. All of my systems like I said are off grid and I had to connect wires from off grid electrical panel to each individual component like, ac, dishwasher, outlets to run fridge and freezers, pool pump, pool heater. You are basically starting from scratch and run wires to everything you want to run with off grid solar power. These are considered grid assist so you can connect grid power for overnight use with the input on the inverter instead of using solar or at night time. I have not done anything with grid power on my house, I would have to pull permits to connect to my grid power. Hope this helps. Check out my newer videos on using the EG4 3000 watt off grid inverters to get a better ideal of what I am talking about.

@@robertpolito6139 all the solar panels have to face south. My north wall in my backyard is the only south facing wall. Any put any on the east side of wall, no sun late in the day. Most 80 percent of my panels have to face staring up at a slight angle to get good power. Have to be at slight angle to have rain run off and problems with HOA rules. I actually have the panels on an array I built at a 35 degree angle now on back wall where I can walk behind panels to switch out. Much better production throughout the day.

@@robertpolito6139 when I bought months ago, they just started listing at $49. But still a great price compared to other 100 watt panels.

@@alexherrera3918 I use a variable speed pump on. 1200 rpm’s most days 24 hours. Only use around 120 watts at 1200 rpm. Just need to have water flowing a little bit to keep algae out. My pool has a cover on it now and is 91 degrees, perfect for algae growth but no algae. I keep my ph up as well. At 110 watt, 24 hours a day is 2.6 kw for day, at .14 cent a kWh, it is only .37 cent a day to run pool pump. But with a 1 hp pump, at only 8 hours a day, at 3200 rpm, that is 26.6 kw for a day, at .14 cent a kWh, that is $3.58 a day for electricity. That is $107 a month to run pool and you will still have an algae problem. With a variable pool pump, you bill would be $11.10 a month, that is running 24 hours a day for 30 days and just put 2 chlorine 3 inch tabs in skimmer basket a week or until they are dissolved, then add 2 more until dissolved. I usually use 4-6 chlorine tabs a month. Hope this helps. Invest in a variable speed pool pump and you will save a lot of more on electricity and pool chemicals. Pays for itself usually in one to two years.

@@shelley131 hi, I have not tried running my fridge on the Victton inverter but it was able to go to 1250 watts for a few minutes before it shut down. I think it all depends on the fridge you have and how much surge you get when compressor kicks on. My gut feeling is it would handle the surge. Fridges take a lot of watts to keep running especially in a hot garage in Phoenix AZ in the summer after pulling in hot cars from out in 115 degree heat. Running my 3 freezers and fridge in my garage along with my pool pump motor 24 hours a day, I use abut 2 EG4 5kw 100ah 5120wh server rack batteries in parallel for overnight use. That is with the idle consumption of 2-EG4 3000 watt off grid inverts using 50 watts each per hour. I do not know anything about the Ecofkow max 2000 so can’t give you any suggestions there. If you ask Signature solar if you buy victron inverter and it can not start fridge, I’m sure they would say you could return it, ask them before you buy. Thanks for the comment and question, hope I answered your question. Hope you have a truly wonderful and extremely blessed week.

@@Ranch321 yes, the 400 watt bifacial solar panels I have are Hyperion brand. They are my favorite solar panels so far. I have 10 connected to my EG4 3000 watt off grid inverter and they preform excellent. I have them mounted on a wood pergola so they are 9 feet off the ground and pick up a decent amount of light. The highest I had them producing as input was 3350 watts, but I don’t think that is the max I could squeeze out of them. That’s just the amount with a large load. Very satisfied and would purchase again. They were $120 each, minimum order of 10 plus $250 freight when I purchased. Now they are $128 each. So $112 is a good price. I get great early morning and late afternoon input even laying flat on my pergolas. I think if these were mounted facing south at 25-35 degree angle, all 10 in series would probably produce 3800-4300 watts input. So far no quality or performance problems at all. Hope this helps. Hope you have a truly wonderful and extremely blessed day.

@diy-solar-guy wow thats good info and thanks for the reply. I am looking to replace half my barns roof with solar panles and now these panles are on the top of my list.

@@Yaki-2505 Thanks for your input. Do you know where I can get one? I would like to try that. Hope you have a truly wonderful and extremely blessed day.

You will never get 245 watts out of 245 watt solar panel. Maybe 170-190 with perfect conditions and maybe for a few hours. You are not doing anything wrong. In order for me to get 3000 watts into a 3000 watt inverter, I would have to connect 5000 watts in used solar panels. Think about 80 percent of what solar panel states for watts. I always over panel more than what I need. If you want to get 1000 watts during the day, you should probably use around 1600-1800 watts in panels. Remember, you will only get a peak from around 9am-3pm at best, before and after those times, you will get maybe get 5-50 percent of solar panel watts. That’s if they are in full sun shine with absolutely no shade on panels throughout the day. Hope this helps in your planning. You have a lot of used solar panels sellers in California.

@@alexherrera3918 solar requires basic 4 components, there is more to solar off grid but just pricing, solar panels, wires, inverter and batteries. You will need 10AWG solar wire to run from solar panels to inverter, you will need at least 2AWG stranded flexible wire from inverter to battery. You will also need 2 dc breakers. I between battery and inverter and one between solar panels and inverter. A basic system at minimum would be around $2000-$3000, that’s just a basic system with just a few solar panels. You can save money buying used solar panels it warranty is usually a year at best. Research more and you will find out you can do so much with off grid solar. Watch my newer videos to see all the large draw equipment I run off grid. Hope this helps. Signature Solar sells kits to start out that you can expand later, like the EG4 3000 watt off grid inverter is expandable and can run 120/240 volts with 2 inverters in parallel. Hope you have a truly blessed day

@@diy-solar-guy thanks for the response, i am a subscribed, i will check those new videos. thanks again!!

@@alexherrera3918 feel free to ask more questions

@@NRYT2360 I believe it only 10 watts idle no load consumption. Very low compared to other inverters.

@@diy-solar-guy Thanks, forgot to also ask, do you know if this 48v inverter will work for a 36v lithium? They dont offer a 36v inverter specifically

@NRYT2360 I believe the 48 volts is specifically for 48 volts only. Might want to call them and see if they offer a 36 volt inverter, maybe they are out of stock.

I will try. I still have to order one more 3000 watt EG4 inverter for my motor home. When I install that, I will do a video. My system with 4 inverters in parallel is running so well, I don’t want to mess with it.

@@DonnyGomez-x6e thank you. Hope it helped to understand you can run ac with solar. I now run all my air conditioning in my 2 story house and garage with solar in day and battery bank at night. Even run pool pump 24 hours a day, 4 freezers and fridge 24 hours a day all on solar and battery bank overnight. Check out our newer videos to see how we did this and what components we used. Thanks for your comment and hope you have a truly wonderful and blessed day.

When you purchase the EG4 3000 watt off grid inverter, they will supply usually one yellow communication cable, 3 foot long. It is a RJ45 cable that plugs into the RS485 port on inverters. You can purchase 3,6 or 10 foot lengths and in black, blue and white colors. Prices from $2.99 - $5.59 for each cable. Link below; signaturesolar.com/cat6-cable-rj45-3ft-to-10ft-standard-pinout-inverter-communication-patch-cable/

So 68 degrees would be 20 Celsius. I always refer to temperatures in videos in Fahrenheit

@michaelrichbourg2080 I used different rails for the bottom so I could use all 4 rails from bright mount on top rail. Found bottom rails locally $22 for 86 inch long rails. If I had the room, I could fit 8 panels in a row. I could just buy another bright mount set as well but was cheaper to do it this way. You can find the bottom rails I used at SanTan Solar in Gilbert AZ. If you don’t live locally by Gilbert AZ. Probably would be cheaper to buy another bright mount ground mount system.

@@Gary-ee3kq We now use double the electricity we use to. Before off grid solar, we set our thermostat at 83 degrees while at work and 80 degrees while at home, 78 while sleeping. Now the house upstairs is around 72-76 degrees in summer and down stairs overnight is around 78-80 degrees. We run our pool pump 24 hours a day with no problems with water, no algae or cloudy water. We run 4 freezer and a refrigerator 24 hours a day. We also have our garage air conditioned, usually 75 degrees in garage during the day when 100-117 degrees outside during the day. Our electric bill in Phoenix ax area is less than $200 a month in the summer while my neighbor will spend $600-$1000 a month with a 2 story house and a swimming pool. Our pay back time is very short since our electric bill with what we use now would be over $5000 a year. We spend around $1200 a year on electricity. We produce a lot more than we can use. We started off small and just built on it over last 4 years. We also use our electric pool heaters to heat or cool our swimming pool to 86-89 degrees. This is a diy investment. If you can do all the work yourself, your payback time is much shorter. With the savings on electric bill alone, we will be spending thousands less on electricity every year from here on out. Like I said, we use to be hot all the time before off grid solar, now we are very comfortable in the summer in house and garage. You could never get a payback time this short with on grid solar. We checked and our basic electricity bill would have been a minimum of $125 a months before we even used any electricity. We would never pay back our investment by going on grid solar. Hope this helps you understand better on return of investment. Electricity rates keep increasing, California is $.34 a kWh. Phoenix is $.17 a kWh. Hope you are blessed weather you do nothing or at least try to use off grid solar to offset electric bill. I know when we just used solar in the day to air condition the house and grid power at night, we reduced our electric usage by over 50 percent. We run our ac out here from March until as late as December. It’s hot in the day out here most of the year. We also have around 320 sunny day a year. Hope you have a blessed 2024

Your energy costs is higher than I expected. I thought it was going to be very close to your northern neighbors in NV at 11-12c. On grid solar is a ripoff unless you DIY. My neighbors paid $35k for a 6kw Sun Run system with micro inverters. Even with energy costs at 37c/kwh here in Nor Cal still going to take years to pay vs I paid $7k for 9kw system made up of 300w Hyundai panels (signature solar), (2) lv6548 inverters, and cheap eBay 12V 100ah lipo batts and connected directly to my house breaker box with AC bypass enabled for times I've no more juice in the batts. Central AC units are extremely inefficient, so I r20 all the outlets and inlets and installed a 18k btu mini split. Also no reason to run the pool pump 24/7 when 12/7 gives the same results.

@Gary-ee3kq the only way to get fast pay back is to diy off grid. If I would have went on grid, my electric bill would have been 3 times what I pay now and I would have been paying for it first 20-25 years with no possibility of actually breaking even. That is why I went off grid diy. I use double of what I use to and can produce twice that as well. I love not having to worry about high electric bills

To run my 3 1/2 ton and 4 ton ac requires 6500-7000 watts which is arround 10,000 -12,000 watts in solar panels. It is not easy running the 2 ac’s at same time and I need 4 - EG4 3000 watt inverters in parallel. I need at least 2-3 EG4 51.2v 100ah 5120wh Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries in parallel to run with solar and I only run my 3 1/2 ton upstairs ac over night. I use 8 EG4 batteries in parallel to run ac over night and have around 50 percent state of charge left in the morning when the solar starts to charge batteries again. Usually between 11 am and 1 pm my 8 batteries are fully charged while running ac all day with sun.

Is this the new math they teach in schools now, because it is wrong. I have installed 8-12,000 Btu 120 volt mini splits and all of them at peak do not exceed 1250 watts. How could a 5000 Btu window ac use more than a 12,000 Btu ac??? I ran this for over 2 years in my shed cooling the inverters and battery bank. It would cycle off and on in the shed. I heavily insulated the shed on all six sides. The ac would run 1/3 of the time and 2/3 of the time be off with just the fan blowing. In Arizona we have around 320 days of pure sunshine throughout the day with no clouds above us. Heat island affect from concrete. I slowly expanded it but it worked flawlessly for 2 years.

Actually if you look at my other videos you will see my foundation was correct and I now run my 31/2 ton whole house upstairs ducted air conditioning and my 4 ton downstairs air conditioner all day long using solar. Together, the 2 ac units use 6000-6500 watts. I even run my 3 1/2 ton ac overnight on EG4 LiFePO4 battery bank. I can even heat my pool using a 12.7 ton pool heat pump pool heater that uses 7500 watts while running. I will let the proof in the videos show who is correct and who is not. Who is telling the truth and who does not know about basic electrical. Hey hope you have a truly wonderful and extremely BLESSED DAY.

If he were producing heat hewould need 1500 watts x 3.41btu/watt for about 5000 btu. An ac moves heat from one place to another via a transfer fluid(refrigerant) and is more efficient energy wise.

@@edlerlights6486 yes but you would have to greatly improve upon this system. You would be better off using an all in one inverter and 48 volt battery bank instead of12v battery. EG4 has a 3000 watt off grid inverter that you can expand down the road up to 12 inverters in parallel. You would need at least 2000 watts of solar to be safe and a much bigger battery bank. Each inverter can give you 3000 watts output with 5000 watts solar panel input. You can connect 2 inverters in parallel and get 120/240 volts and run main ac in house like I do. I have 4 inverters in parallel and am running my 3 1/2 ton & 4 ton upstairs and downstairs ac in my house right now using only solar. I spend $0 on air conditioning and heating year round now with off grid solar. It is DIY. This is what I started with but check out my latest videos on running to see all I run with off grid solar . I even run my 3 1/2 ton upstairs ac overnight on EG4 LiFePO4 battery bank. Links are in videos for products in use. You can now buy a EG4 12,000 Btu mini split 120 volt that has direct solar connection to the outside unit of the mini split. You could air condition or heat during the day with just solar, Completely eliminating the need for inverter or battery. This 12,000 Btu mini split is 120v and can connect it to the grid power so when there is no sun, the grid will continue to keep running the mini split until next day when sun rises and you have enough solar to run mini split. The. Ink split automatically started reducing grid power as sun comes up to where it is no longer using grid power and only using solar all day long. The grid power is for when there is not enough sun or rainy days. You can have grid connected but not use it as well. It is free ac or heat during the day. The mini split will limit only 600 watts to run it when on grid power saving you money. Links are in my other videos for this product.watch some off my other videos and see all you can do with off grid solar. If you have more questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Hope you have a truly wonderful and blessed 2024. You can install this mini split yourself! I will be purchasing one soon and will do videos on it in the future. Once most people see how easy it is to do it yourself and save money, they start building bigger system. The EG4 3000 watt inverter is under $700, install 2 and you have split phase 120/240 boot to run just about any household appliances. You would just have to run separate wire from inverter to appliances and disconnect grid power wires. Everything I do is off grid solar. Nothing I do is connected to grid in any way.
