Yeah. Our plan was to be up and running for that time today but there was a delay getting MC4 connectors. We'll see tomorrow. We opted...

Bouba, how old is the real Bouba - not you!

just note what the victron app reports at between 1pm -2pm that's the peak right now.

We got the panels back working just before 15.30 this afternoon. They were producing 490/495W There was far less fluctuation in the...

yep pics are fine... we find daughter's dog a 5.5kg little thing is starting occasionally struggling coming up the 6steps from the...

my mistake! Open circuit voltage is the right term I've got 70mm2 cables from lifepo4 bank to bus bar @24V, dont even get warm when 2kW...

The 60mm cable is the original cable from the batteries to the main positive busbar. It's not big for a motorboat, especially at 12v...

2.5mm2 is thin, 6mm2 is good, I'd stick to series tbh (but I guess it's going to be reasonably easy to try and swap over) What's the...

He has 2x625w panels, in series to a single controller. At max that would be circa 100v at 15a, with a 7m cable run of 1.5mm cable, you...

but Paul, wont be 100V if in parallel will be 50V. I'm assuming these panels are 48-50V OC like mine are but maybe wrong. OP has to...

If you change to parallel you double the current, so you have, at max, 100v 50v @ 30a = just over 5v drop !

hm, when calculating voltage drop on DC, don't we double the distance as in AC or I got that wrong? no matter what if cable is that...

what do the experts think? isn't 1.5mm2 (AWG15?) a bit thin for a 14m trip of 90VDC @12-15A (at summer peak)? If I got my numbers...

Easy to test if the batteries are taking all of the solar yield when in bulk, or at any other time. Watch the output from the controller...

Yes, on the flybridge hardtop 2.3 x 1.15 6/7 m and 1.5mm² cable No obstructions worth mentioning, all done in the marina, nothing...
