SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION

[tonyiiiafl]

Those are the same as I have. Once you check out photo 2, same situation, Marked POS POS in, and NEG NEG out. Don’t quite understand that. However, I am running 4 panels,, 2 each hooked in series, then joining the 2 in series in a parallel manner, so these will work, just confusing as all Hell!

Also, here is the installation better than 1/2 done. I am surprised, but those panels are SOLID! Full cure in another 12 hours, but they do not budge! I have a cubby on my 390 behind the couch where the central vac is, I am going to tuck the MPPT charge controller in there. I am also going to place a disconnect switch before and after the controller. Over kill for 2?

That stands for "piece of $hit" and "no effen good". Got to buy some of the good stuff.

Your panels mounted with 4200 are going no where. My friend had to move 4 elevator bolts this week end to install a new panel. He had a hard time getting the mounts off to move them. Mine are mounted the same way and I have had no issues.

The install looks great.

Put it on line today. Very impressed. I shut shore power, and ran from batteries. ALL day, fridge was working, toilet and water pressure pump, inverter for coffee. Batteries stayed at 100%. Controller, went up, down, and kept up with the load. Next weekend a weekend away on the hook.
