24V 2000 Watt Solar System Complete Install | Hybrid Solar Inverter/Charger | Off Grid Cabin

- I finally reached a huge milestone up here at the Off Grid Cabin, I have a fully functioning 2000 Watt Solar System. Which means lights and fridge/freezer!
In this video I take you along as I do the complete install, starting with running the wires from the panels, and then the complete wiring of the Hybrid 2000 Watt Inverter/Charger all-in-one system.
The solar system has been running for the last couple weeks, and it sure is nice having lights now that the days are getting shorter.
Here are links to the DC Breakers that I used in this video:
30AMP DC 12V/24V/32V Circuit Breaker Inline Fuse Holder: amzn.to/2ZF8FgZ
RENOGY 100A ANL Fuse Set w/Fuse (ANL Fuse Holder + 100A ANL Fuse)
amzn.to/2Rt6MiQ
This panel can put out close to 100 watts ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.
Thank you for reminding us that we need to step up our own awareness and supplies. I agree 100% with you we are heading towards a full on 100 car train wreck. If you can't see it, you are on serious medication. Please don't let down your gaurd and keep preparing for when there are no stores, no electricity, no utilities, no rule of law. Please be safe, everyone, and keep working on your future.
For those that don't know ; if you are running wire through long runs of conduit you can use a small string with a knot or mouse on the end and blow it or suck it through the conduit with a shop vac....and attach the string to the wire and pull it through.
Good tip
same in england
Thanks for your presentation on wiring up a solar charging system. You touched on every point in building the system, that I was unsure about, and cleared it up! Thank you for delivering the knowledge I’ll need to now wire up my panels, and buy my battery bank, and combination inverter and charge controller. Wow, glad I watched your video tonight!
Excellent video, a lot better explained than the big shot youtubers. Thanks.
Good “ Head’s Up on Doing the Panels Last Step to inverter ! “
Very well done! I wish I would have watched this video first as it explained everything for the whole process. Thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Enjoyed the video. Picked up a couple of good points that will be recalled when we put together our new (4th) Solar System. This one is a biggie (4x460 watt panels, 48v 5KW hybrid inverter and 4 x 12 volt Trojan 120ah Batteries in Series), and your vid may have saved our bacon. Thanks a bunch dude. Cheers, Kevin
Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks for watching. That sounds like it will be quite the solar system you are putting together.
Great video I have 45 panel solar system on the grid but I want to add a advance hybrid inverter so if power gose out I can still run some stuff in my house
Well thought out and executed! Well done.
Thank you very much, and thanks for watching!
Pretty cool video never seen a complete off grid set up no experience with off grid it’s interesting. The breakers and inverter were creative. Thanks
Thanks for watching.
This is the best video I've seen regarding solar set up. One thing that I can't seem to find is how to hook the AC output to an existing breaker box. I have a mobile home that I'm taking off grid and obviously it has a breaker box installed already. And guidance that you could give me or direction that you could point me to would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Next time i'm at the cabin I will make a video showing how it is wired into my panel so it makes a little more sense. I am not a professional electrician, so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but my system has worked fine for me with no issues. I just encourage everyone to do there own research. I have the inverter running into my panel inside the cabin with a 100amp main breaker and then the cabin is split on two 20amp breakers. Each breaker controls half of my cabin.
@@OffGridFreedom man I really appreciate you. Thank you so much!
The inverters supply 230v how do you power a 100A breaker box? Do you need to separate inverter power to 110/230A?
Best Supporting video so far
Great video dude thanks a lot
I’m in the process of building a cabin in central Maine off the grid this video will really help a good bit
I'm glad I could help, hope your build goes well.
@@OffGridFreedom who makes that inverter charger you installed anyways
I just ordered a powmr the orange and black one myself
Finally someone adressing generator input, Do you need an inverter generator or will an old school one work?
I have a 2.4KW system with a 5000W inverter same make - and it can power things directly from the sun - no need for batteries connected - so that's excellent for using excess stuff
Definitely, its been a great inverter so far.
What an excellent video ! I am currently in the process of putting together my solar system for my cabin and I was doing exactly as you were with the generator plugged into the side of my cabin which powered the outlets and lighting as well as a battery charger I use to charge a 12 v battery which I have hooked up to an inverter so that during the day I don't need the generator on to charge cell phones and run my cell booster. I have purchased a new 425 watt Q Cell panel and am soon going to purchase the MPP 2424 which is similar to your unit, along with four 230 WH AGM golf cart batteries. My system will be used to power an apartment size fridge, cell booster as well as a few led lights and charge cell phones. I have a Honda 2200 inverter generator to use for all high power draw items. Do you have any advice now that some time has passed using your system ? Again thanks for the video, just as I was trying to wrap my head around my eventual permanent solar system, you provided all the information I needed without asking lol. Liked and Subbed !
I am doing something similar. I would say the advice for us both would be to upgrade gradually as we can afford it, I'm betting we will never regret any upgrade. For instance add a couple solar panels when we can, or another pair of batteries. I was fortunate to start out with a lifepo4 battery, at $1,500 it was a big sacrifice, now I can tell that if I can get one more just like it I'll be where I need to be. That is, you need to be able to survive off battery alone for three cloudy days, that's an ideal goal for your setup. Yes, I know you might have 2 weeks of cloudy days and be just about flat out, but if we aspire to have a battery bank that can survive 2 weeks without a good charge we'd be into the $25,000+ bracket in batteries alone.
One of the best off grid explanations without confusing the hell out off you. Well done. I'm hopefully going have an off grid shed. This looks like Easun inverter, can you confirm this?
Thank you, I believe the company I bought it from was a canadian company called Solar EPC.
I like the way you explain things ...
Thank you, the solar system is still working great and I'm happy with it.
Well done, hope you enjoy your off grid system like we do 👍
Thank you, I enjoy it very much, it makes life at the cabin so much easier.
You have the link or the model of your inerverter mppt
Lmao When video begins sounds like an old man then at 11 seconds clear his throat sounds like a young fellow
Gr8 Video Bro
Thank you very much.
Well we couldn't have done it any more different but the same size...I've got four 100 watt panels but they're 12 ft from my Epever 4215 BN , eight 12v batteries, hooked to the 24 v Aims inverter/charger 2000 w..I wound up with 340 amp hours..Since we had a 75 mph wind before the winter storm I have 1 shattered panel so I'm gonna get 3 more 100 panels and that'll give me 600 w ..I found a 15% off coupon for the Aims so I got it for $653...I gave $216 for the 40 amp controller ...after I get it all done its $2300 but hey itll run my little A/C this summer woohoo...I looked at one like yours but being new to all this I didn't know enough so I just did my best trying to wade thru all this stuff but I did okay I think..I like yours though..mine is working great and it's quiet and pretty dependable so I'm happy with it for now..like granny used to say itll look better than a snowball come winter time lol
I just recently picked up 2 more panels so i'll have 600w this summer as well. I was originally going to put a system together like yours, but the more I read into the Hybrid all-in-one systems the more i leaned towards it. If it works, thats all that counts.
At the 12:30 mark of video you begin to talk about an old generator hookup you had, but had now hooked up a junction box and ran wire to your a/c out on your inverter… what exactly is a/c out for? Do you use that to still run a generator to charge batteries or home? Just confused a bit on what a/c out is used for and hooks up to? Thank you and great video
Awesome 💯
Hi, If I have a 4000 watts generator plug into the Vevor, will it produce 4000 watts for the house or only 2000 watts because of the inverter?
thank you for explaining everything really good
You're very welcome!
Thanks
thanks for explaing this I appreciate this video
What is different if your using a 3000w 24v pure sine wave PWM vs. an MPPT all in one inverter?
Then is it better to connect two 3000w 24v pure sine wave 50A PWM all in one inverters in series or parallel?
How do you hook them up in series?
How do you hook them up in parallel?
Last question…..
Using these all in one units….the output is 230v…..how do I set it up to run my breaker box in my house, (100A service) or put in separate 240A breakers for (Water heater, electric stove, Dryer) then the rest is 120v plug ins threw out my house?
Do I use a step up/step down converter?
You are the only one on UA-cam that has been able to explain this to me in a way that I understand…
Thank you
I have ten 250w 24v polycrystalline solar panels with two 3000w 24 v PWM 50A all in one inverters(going completely off grid), still gathering 12v deep cycle batteries, I have two to hook in series! Just so you know what my intent is and what I have for equipment! Any assistance will be appreciated…
The two PowMr 3000w 24v 50A PWM all in one inverters I got from Amazon($240 a piece)
The ten polycrystalline 250w 24v solar panels I got on EBay from suntan seller out of Arizona, used tested for $500 + shipping (Az to Mn) $235 shipping!
Working on battery bank!
I should of went with the 5000w 48v mppt all in one inverters spit phase units, but money is an issue! These all in one units split the output from 230A to 110A directly from the all in one inverter…
Was hard to understand. But if u have an 230 volt inverter in all in one you shud sell this and buy and for 110volt.
110 typical american use. 230 is normal in Europa and so. But panels are ok. But if it was me i had selling all in one component and get to bye like same only that convert power to 110 like you need.
Send your mail if you need more help whit this.
Was litle heavy to understand it all
Pwm makes less solar input then mppt. Not that extreme much for 24 volt. Think it is 6 to 7%. In 12volt it is like 15% better whit mppt.
Send mail if you dont have figure it out and will try to help you.
And what type of battery did you have??
Exakt Wold be good to know.
And how much u want to use off grid ?
very nice! wonder why you used external circuit breakers if inverter has them already?
I have the exact same system. But i have two batteries which are in 24v design, inverter is only 24v so i can't drop it. I need 12v for some appliances. If i take a separate line from the batteries and connect it to a 24-12v step down device, will it effect the inverter in any way?
As long as load is not too high you can split the cells that is run wires from one battery (12v) to power you're 12v appliance. I have same system and will be doing my lights this way. If it's a big load it might unbalance you're batteries but small loads they'll balance themselves. If you need bigger current then much convertor or dc to dc convertor will do it you can set the voltage and run from 24v they are cheap and efficient.
Or you could get a 120VAC - 12VDC inverter
If you need 12v but low amp (say 3-6 A) for your appliances check dc to dc step down converters. Its cheap!
Stepdown from 24 to 12 is very very low price.
You dont want to get in on 1 battery like one here says.
Stepdown for 10bucks is low price and strong to that way.
Love you system where did you get your solar 24 volt Inverter? Im looking for one?
Nice how is it working for you now ?
How to do you equalise the batteries as they are flooded batteries. Can they also charge upto 32 volts which the batteries need to equalise. I want to buy the same unit but don't know if it meets my battery criteria. Thanks.
Thanks very layman informative
as soon as you said 1/2 i wondered how that go. that pv wire jacket does not look friendly for wire pulling. A bottle of wire pulling soap is what you needed.
Question. I have the same inverter charger but it's 2400 watt 220 ac output but it has 198vac line 1 28 vac line 2 is there anyway to fix this
Great video and awesome explanations on everything you did In just trying to get an idea on how big of a system I need for my cabin to run a fridge microwave and tv /dvd player
Keep the fantastic videos coming
🤔By the way who makes the inverter charger anyways ⁉️⁉️🤔
HI, what would be the minimum voltage from solar to operate the inverter? thanks i have 800 watts
great job man
very informative session...well explained every component
Thanks, glad it helped.
Hello i have 5000W 48v model, 6 x panels 330w each and 5 xbatteries 12 v 200ah, so im worried because it does not last the whole night
very helful video thanks for sharing
The hybrid all in one does make for a simple setup, but the downside is it is not upgradable. When you decide that you need more watts you have to buy a bigger one. Also, they are (so far) limited in watts, I think 3,500 watts is the highest I have seen, while if you have a separate inverter setup you can get higher wattage inverters to upgrade without changing any of the other components.
Nah, 5 to 12kw are all available, many are able to be run in "parallel" and give you split phase 240 so you can wire into a normal house breaker box. It is definitely something to consider before purchase tho...
Also, I've seen ~six hundred fifty dollar~ 5kw, 48v dc, 110v single phase offbrand inverters that'll take up to 500v of solar input.... making large arrays easy... but no reviews.
Nice. I just installed 24v 2000w system lol. Different than yours, but the same results lol. You can check it out.
Cool, ill check it out, I just subscribed.
Where can I see your setup?
I have my cabin wired with a regular electrical panel with an outlet for my generator and a short cord. It works great but would love to replace generator with inverter controller and batteries. Did you go to an electric panel coming off the inverter? Thanks
Excellent video. Very informative!
Will the space that you have your batteries and inverter in be heated during winter time?
yes I have insulated the mechanical room, and the plan is to heat it with a homemade radiator with copper tubing piped out to a outdoor fireplace. I will be using a waterproof ammo box as the radiator, and I dont think it will take too much work to keep it above freezing in the mech room.
Just a heads up, DO NOT PUT YOUR BATTERIES on a concrete floor, it will destroy them!
@@rickyschultz3443 that is false.
hi, i need help i installed a solar system with a 3KVA 24V 40A hybrid inverter, 2 x 325W, 38.15V, 8.65A MAX panels,2 x 12V 200AH batteries it runs for 2 weeks and it stops (no longer charges the batteries)
Now that you have used your unit for a while what do you think about it and would you make any changes?
Its been working great for me, I have no complaints. Its powering a fridge ,freezer, laptop, all my lights and have had no hiccups.
What size is your fridge and freezer? Can you run them 24/7?. I have seen some people's 24v off grid setup with a lot of fuses and bus bars. Kind of intimidating. Yours seemed to be quite simple.
Can this inverter use as a tiegrid, with a battery backup system???
It can be used with the grid, ive only ever used it off grid though so I dont know how it performs tied in.
Hello, I bought 2 of these, but vevor 3kv 24v are these able to be ran in parallel or did I make a mistake by getting 2?
I think you can use one to power one leg of your panel, and one for the other leg..so long as you don't have 240 volts in the entire system.
@@johnpgochoco6590 thank you! So these cannot be ran in parallel, but i found a generator parallel kit that could join these 2 inverters together! They will still have to have 2 battery banks. But thats ok for me! I got the wen generator parallel kit! Should be good for 5000w. Essentially these parallel kits power rv electical panels by joining regular gas powered gerator inverters! I was up all night and figured it out in the morning! Lol
Mine seems correctly installed but it's not charging batteries can you assist?
I've watched a hundred videos and have never seen an explanation for what I "assume" is a common idea! Using "All-In-One" systems (such as the MPP or other "all-in-ones") to run battery & solar directly into an electrical panel.
[: 15x25 small barn. Wired like a regular house (15A outlets, 10@ 10watt LED "recessed lights"). I use a Champion 3500 watt Generator (w/wireless remote) for my "shore power". (I'm 100% off-grid.) My Small "6-breaker panel" is wired direct to the generator using a TT30 RV-Ready plug. I have to run the gen even when I'm just using a TV and LED at night. A TOTAL WASTE of GAS !!! ... so using a MPP type system (inverter/charger/solar & a battry bank) seems a good way to go right!?
... Why bother with an extension cordfrom "line out" (-as i see in most videos)? ... Can't I wire my generator into the MPP "Line in" (instead of going through the breaker box as I do now)?
... Then run 14/2 (or 12/2?) from the MPP "Line out" directly as the main feed into the small breaker box?
... Can't a significent battery bank (running thru the breaker box) service the outlets (and a overhead fan)? (except when using the coffee maker --which I would do ONLY with the generator on). (So every morning coffee session would help top off the batteries.)
... Won't the MPP auto transfer switch recognize when the Generator is on and "bypass" the full 3500 watts (or as needed) from the generator?
... And when the Genearator is off, the AutoTransfer Switch would switch to battery right?
ANY response would be helpful!
--Coach
Yes, yes but breaker protects wire, yes but size wire to max amps, no has to be inverted to ac for that and coffee maker would be usable, yes if set properly, yes.
When you are charging your batteries on the generator do you have to switch anything off on the inverter
What was the name/brand of your investor/charger
How is you solar working out
What inverter/charger is this?
hi i hooked up the same system with 2 x 100ah batteries with 2 x 300 watt solar panels in series and im getting about 89 volts flowing in from panels, my problem is it looks like the the system is reading the panels even after i switched it 01 utly and the moved programme 01 for solar first please could assist me
What's the name of your inverter ?
can you finish the solar electrical tour and show us your indoor wiring etc? what and how are you using it and how is it working for you?
I will give a update video on the solar when I'm back out at the cabin next. I have the interior wall panelling up so I wont be able to show the wiring other than the panel, but i'll show you all the lights I am using and how the solar is holding up through winter.
Great Video! How long can you run a window unit with those 4 6v batteries?
I want to build a system like yours with 16 6v batteries (Trojan T-605).
Can you please give me a diagram of the best way to hook up the 24v system using the 16 6v batteries?
Can I get alway with only having 2 Renogy solar panels to charge the batteries? Also fuses recommend on both?
I use this cabin once a month and would like to run Ac at night.
by window unit, you mean a Air Conditioner? I havent looked into that, im not sure how much power one takes to run. If you are using 16 - 6v batteries then you would be splitting them into 4 sets of batteries , each set would be 4 wired in series, and then the 4 sets wired in parallel to increase the amp hours. If you have that many batteries you would need alot more than 2 panels. I would have at minimum 1000w of panel, and you would need to have a fuse on the panels and the batteries. Theres so many variables that it is hard to suggest what fuse size to use.
Is there a way to get dc off of these all-in-one systems still? Or are you stuck with AC output only?
Use a DC converter or hook directly to batteries.
What brand is your hybrid all in one?
I've got the 48v version -
I am a bit concerned that the PV (panel) inputs are way to small, I didn't notice they will only suit up to 10g wire..
When I looked in my manual it showed that it would fit bigger than 10g wire, the only reason I used 10 was because thats all I needed, I havent tried to use bigger wire so I cant confirm if it will fit or not, but my manual definately says it can take bigger than 10g.
@@OffGridFreedom thank you champ. I managed to get down to the farm and could fit 8g in it.
Hey am gland to see your Video. But i have a system of 5000W hybrid Inverter 24V 60Amps In build Controller ,6pcs 12V 200Ah batteries and 6 pcs Pv modules 270Watts. I connected all panels in Parallel connection to retain 41volts of panels but to increase the current. and connected 2 batteries in series in three blocks and parallel them all. Is my system well connected please.
Is your solar inverter high frequency or low frequency for 5kw 24v 60a mppt?
And your built in controller is with max 150v pv input?
Pretty sure (not expert see specs) if your charge controller can handle it, then you will get lower current in the PV lines (cooler, same W = V*A) by wiring the panels in series 2 at a time (82 VDC) and then parallel those back to the charger.
Yes it it very well system. Cant get it any better whit that upset you have. Strong and good system. Paralell makes more amp and more watt. And thats brings battery faster and hold them longer. So shud be extremly good.
You happy whit it ?? You use more power and feel you need any more batteryes ?? Or it fitt you well ??
Whats type of battery you use ?
600 amp batteryes in 24volt is 600 amp x 24volt= what you have. If not lithium only use half of kW u have in battery. For make batteryes helthy and last longer
What does that mean when the AC output only has a two line output line and neutral with no ground ?
I have the same panels Rich Solar panels 100W 5.41A
Hey there good buddy.....There is a bare wire running somewhere out of view under the inverter....is that an earth wire? If so, where is it actually connected ? the inverter chassis? Thanks
Its connected from the inverter ground terminal, to the grounding block in the panel which is connected to a grounding plate buried in the ground outside.
How can I install a priority outlet or a low priority outlet? Say, if I only want to run my well into my storage tank when the batteries are full?
Great Job!
Thank you!
Nice
I have 5kva inverter hybrid but when am using inverter the green light that show that solar panel is charging it we stop showing
Very clear explanation, all components explained well, thank you. Nice system. I have a question: with the system as-is, with that inverter, how long can you run a computer for? Also, how many AH are your batteries? Just wondering what kind of loads you are able to carry in your cabin without needing to turn on the generator? Looking at a very similar system and I want to be sure it can cover my needs (mini fridge, desktop, a few low amp lights).
My batteries are Trojan t-105, and are 230AH. I can run my laptop and lights as much as I want and the system handles it fine. Since its winter I am not getting much sun light, so I have unplugged my freezer but in summer I was running a 5 cu.ft freezer all day , and the freezer draws 80watts while its running. A system similar to this would cover your needs, the only thing that I would recommend is getting more panels then what I have, I only have 400w of panels and I think it would be better if I had around 800w of panel.
@@OffGridFreedom Oh wow, this information is gold to me right now. Thank you so much for getting back to me about it. I think specs similar to yours would be perfect.
I purchased the same item and came across your video do you know if there is a setting for lipo4 batteries I bought because it said there was
You are able to set the charge settings yourself, in the settings screen there is a option to use user defined settings, and then you can set the charging float/bulk and absorb voltages, I dont have the manual infront of me but I know I used custom settings for my trojan batteries that I got from the trojan website so I know its possible. You would then set it to whatever charge settings your battery manufacturer suggests using.
I may have missed it, but what is the brand of inverter? Bluesun?
Hello I have the same one how do you get the generator to start charging your battery Bank mind just goes into overload and my other generator just switches off thanks mate hope you can help
There is a setting to change in the settings, it selects how you want the inverter to charge the batteries, you need to select the option that will use utility power when it is available and solar when it is not. You probably have it set to charge using solar power and utility power only if solar isnt available. My manual is out at the cabin so i forget what numbered setting it is.
which panels are suitable for this 24v inverter? 12v or 18v?
Im using 12v panels in series and parallel. 6 in total.
You mean 3 in series and 2 in parallel? Which you got 24v?
I am using 24v inverter and 24v panels…
What size battery cables are you running?
I have a growatt 3000w all in one and 6 100w solar panels and 2- 100ah Battleborn batteries
I'm hoping I can hook it up just like your system.
Hi, I might be having same setup but mine will be 2000w inverter and charge controller seperatly. If you have already done it, can you share your setup?
Just wondering my inverter has a 3 line ac input ground neutral & line but only has a 2 line ac output line & neutral can I use this inverter ??
Inverter internally shares ground most likely. Or can accept 240v and output 120v at higher amps.
What brand is your solar inverter brand? Good job on the video.
Sorry I should of included that in the video, It is from a company called Solar EPC out of Manitoba. I purchased it online off there eBay store. It is the 120V 24V 2000w Smart Hybrid Inverter, I don't have the model # off the top of my head and I'm currently back in town right now. Thanks for watching.
Mate I have an Must brand solar inverter connected with 4x 275w solar panels with a 3x12volts batteries it was working fine but someone removed one battery and now it's not working so can you help me solve the problem, am texting from PAPUA NEW GUINEA
I'm doing something similar on 28' Cargo Trailer using IPI-2024LV-MK. I'm curious what type of generator you are using? Instructions seem to indicate that the generator needs to be an inverter style, and double the size of the inverter?
I am running a Champion 3500w Inverter Generator. I rarely have to run it, but when I do it charges the batteries fine. You can change the settings on the inverter/charger to choose what amps you want to charge at.
Thanks for sharing, do you need an earth ground?
Yes its best practice to ground all the panels, they usually have a ground screw and you can link all your panels together. I have the system grounded into a grounding plate thats buried in the ground.
Off Grid Freedom thanks my issue is there is mostly rock and doubt a rod will go down to far.
If you use a grounding plate, it only needs to be buried 24 inches deep if thats possible.
Hi, I bought a 3000watt system, but I having some problem with the operation. Can you help me?
What is the make and model of the Hybrid inverter? Link? Does it come with 220v output?
Yes them does. 110 and 230. 40 50 and 60hz.
Can buy all over Internett. Ebay expensive. Alibaba and all big Internett shops
How have your batteries been?
My inverter has 100 open circuit mppt charger controller with 3200watt capacity how 330 watt 10 pannels connection
At 8:26 , I think you meant to say Charge Controller? Not inverter...
Whats your solar panel volt, and which kind of connection using in your solar panel? Series of paralal?
They are 12v panels, ran in series and parallel.
Why 24 volt. What does the 24 volt have over 12 volt?
I didnt see mention of a grounding wire from your panels?
also maybe a little metal backing on that wood, so you reduce fire risk should something happen... dont want a cabin burning from a surge
so show how you connect the hole cabin
hi! is the ac input only to load the batteries? Or does the device automatically switch to generator / house power grid when the batteries are empty enough?
You can set it to automatically switch to generator/grid power once the batteries reach a certain voltage, or it can be set to always use the ac from generator/grid power and only switch to batteries when the grid/gen stops working. Or you can use it like how I am and only use the ac input to charge the batteries, as soon as I start the generator it senses power coming in and automatically starts charging and runs everything in the cabin using the gen power, and then when i shut the gen off it automatically switches back to the batteries.
@@OffGridFreedom That was very detailed, thank you very much.
Exactly what I was looking for. This thing could actually replace my 60A Powmr.
I had searched for information a bit before, but there wasn't that much to be found. Thanks once again :)
your inverter wont handle a 4000w surge (as you mentioned) with a 100A fuse on the battery. the fuse will blow instead
I understand anything over a 2400w surge will trip the 100a fuse. I dont run anything that comes close to the 2400w surges, and have yet to trip a breaker or fuse in the 8 months its been running.
What’s the link for the hybrid inverter?
Hi, I'm looking for one of these solar inverters for a van conversion. I have 2 solar panels with this spec - Watt: 310Wp, Max Snow Load: 5400Pa , 112lb/ft2, Max Voltage Vmp: 32.67V, Max Current Imp: 9.49A, Number of cells: 60, Open Circuit Volts: 40.08V, Short Circuit Amps: 9.28A, Module Efficiency: 19.00%, Max System Volts: 1000VDC, Power Tolerance: 0 - 3%, Max Series Fuse: 15A. What's the best inverter and battery setup to go with for two of these solar panels? Any help would be hugely appreciated.
With large panels like those, you want to pay attention to the open circuit volts. They are 40.08v so you could either run the panels in series and you will need a inverter/charger that can handle 80 open ciruit volts, or it may be a better option to run them in parralel to keep it at 40v. The first thing I suggest you do is make a list of everything electronic that you will need to run , to get a idea of how many watts your inverter will need to be. Once you have an idea of how big of inverter you will need , then you can search for one that will handle those panels. As far as batteries go, I prefer going 24v or 48v because you can keep your cable sizes small because you are handling way less amps , but im not sure if that will be possible with a van conversion because it usually means having multiple 6v or 12v batteries in series and you might be limited in space.
24volt hybrid inverter 3kw will be Nice for 2 of that panels in paralell
Does it have an option to send 240v instead of 110v?
The model I have doesnt send 240, but they have models that do.
Link to the Solar inverter?
The company is Solar EPC from Ontario and the inverter was bought off their eBay store, I cannot find a link to it so I'm not sure if it is still on there store or not.
If anyone reads this who has ANY KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE WITH SOLAR,PLEASE HELP. Ive never owned any type of solar system and was about to buy my 1st solar generator the bluetti ac200 max and came across this. I know the ac200 is very compact and plug and play but I feel for the 2000 dollars I can buy a all in one solar inverter and battery for the same price but would get more wattage output, higher solar input, higher/faster ac input/charging,and as times goes on just add parallel batteries for more watt hours. Can anyone give me there opinion on witch way I should go. Or suggestions for a solar generator system for around the 2000 dollar mark... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE!!!
For that much money i Wold never buy bluetti.
Lock online and see complete systems in different voltage and different cises.
Wold get much more and get longer whit powerwall ore battery racks and so on.
But it depens how big you want it to be and what you will use it all for??
So many things spells in for useage and what to use for and all what you need.
But them that buy bluetti sems to buy more and more and never get anof.
And u pay much Just for the brand bluetti.
Hope that helped you some way.
If want more contakt me and give me info in mail ore something.
Best of luck
were did you get your system from? I am trying to figure out off grid power for my camp . Thanks
I bought it from Solar EPC, it is a company out of Ontario Canada. They have a eBay store that I ordered from. So far I am still happy with the inverter/charger, its been working as advertised every day since I installed it.
