I just Finished putting together a 750Ah 24 Volt battery, I am impressed on the runtime compared to crappy lead acid! I do have a question....If I'm running a 5kw inverter , but do not plan on using more than 3kw is a 250Amp fuse/breaker Okay?
Yeah that’s a power house of a battery! 250a@24v is actually 6kw. So if that’s what you have it would support your inverter already. If your fuse was less than the max for your loads it would still be safe, the risk would be nuisance fuse trips if for some reason you did pull more than normal off the inverter.
Hey there. Am I understanding right that it's a 10awg wire that should be used from a 12-volt battery to the solar controller...? I'm getting the 60A powMr
@BeeneEnergy sorry, that is confusing...Since the mppt60 is charging my 12v lithium battery, shouldn't I have a 4awg wire there? Also isn't 720w solar the max on the mppt 60? I have one panel at 800w but could return it.
great video. i am looking at getting a lifepo 12 battery, maybe one or two in parallel, was kinda thinking of maybe 4 in series, but then i have to get a new inverter lol and i barely used the $800 12v one i got, so i am not sure what to do yet. this might sound crazy but what if i built a 48 volt system so i could go high volts on panels, then with that 48 volt battery bank find a way to power a charger that could charge a 12 volt battery then run my inverter. i know i will loose some efficiency with the extra equipment and battery to be charged, but i suspect i will more than make up for use being able to run high voltage strings in series, while keeping the amps down. my panels are about 60 feet away from the controller, and in the future i can see needing to go 100 feet from the panels to the charge controller. keep in mind i am mostly playing and learning, i dont have a specific application as of yet, so some of my ideas are really based on me just trying to learn, not to create the most efficient system cost wise at the moment.
Hey I was just wondering how you are getting that many watts coming in. I'm running two 250 watt panels but on a clear sunny day I'm only getting around 120 to 130 watts coming in. Please help
@@BeeneEnergy my panels are at a 45 degree angle. I have the positive wired to positive on both panels and the negative wired to the negative.the batteries that I am using are two 35 amp hour agm solar batteries and a 100 amp hour battery in a mini/portable solar generator that I built. I have avery thing run through a PorMr mppt solar charge controler
How much are the charge controller I never used one of those i have classics and want a pallet of panels I just don't want to buy more classics u know what I mean
@@kervensromelus6101 I would have to go back and see. I know that on the output side it will never get over 60a to the battery, it limits at that point. On the input side I was playing with the make sky blue controller which is very similar and the input did show 2.9kw when output was 50a at 54v. So yes it should pull more than 720w from panels to make up for inefficiencies inside the charge controller.
Keep the video coming man, you have got one more fan from Nigeria. Good job!
Awesome, thank you!

So the charge controller will downgrade tge 48v to 12 volt ?
Hey there. Am I understanding right that it's a 10awg wire that should be used from a 12-volt battery to the solar controller...? I'm getting the 60A powMr
You’d want double 10awg between the battery and charge controller.
@@BeeneEnergyone 10 to negative and one 10 to positive right..?
@@kristenwright8152 Four total. Two negative and two positive. All 10awg.

@@kristenwright8152 Can you fit a 4awg wire?
I want 2 get 3 more 400w panels. Hopefully you have not sold out. You going to be at shop tomorrow?
My brother is right up the street and can meet you at the warehouse. Just let me know when a good time is.
Is it ok to run 400w in parallel for 12v, is it safe as on permanent basis? Im confused.

Tell me about your setup, angle of the panels, controller and battery being used, etc.

We’ve got them for $100 each!
Hmm I may swing by and see what u have I will get ur address I know ur in Mansfield
Hello..
What is the Maximum Input Power of that controller?
Mine is also a PowMr but can only support 720Watts with a 12V battery bank.
Yes mine is 720 as well but it’s ok to over panel some to get the max available sun. Hence me using 800w.
@@BeeneEnergy ok Thank you Mr.
But does the controller ever show that the panels provide over 720Watts?? Like 760 or more.

@@BeeneEnergy how about if 3pcs 310w solar panel on 12v battery bank? Can the mppt handle it? or even 4pcs 310w?
Do you have a web site were I can purchase items from you
Just tossing a comment your way because why not
If you want to do something together let me know, I haven’t figured out any good collaboration methods but I’m open to discussing.
