My name is Duane Trumbull at ARK Solar. I want to introduce the endless advantages to people around me locally. My friend had a camping store called "God's Country" in Oliver Springs TN and I recently put together a Renogy 100 watt charging station pack for display at the store. I'm very interested in investing in multiple panels to continue in and GROW from there. Please give me some advise on what else I can do to get this going. thanks!

duane747,
I would advise calling our sales department at (800) 330-8678 for assistance on getting a large amount of panels. They work will with our customers on pricing and provide free quotes. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you, LP

I am absolutely NEW to this solar panel arena, so be patient with me. I currently have 3-100watt monocrystaline panels #RNG-100D and have just purchased a fourth one. I have a 30 amp Renogy controller, and a 1000w Renogy controller. I am building a portable cart to use in emergency for an 8ft x 40 shipping container. It has a wood stove, a very small refrigerator and a 'Home Depot' portable air conditioner and two overhead light bulbs at this time. I intend to mount the batteries on this cart and pull it out to utilize the panels.
1) on the controller, the third pair of terminals is indicating a light bulb. What is used here? For what?
2)Is it best to have the batteries close to the panels, or closer to the container?
3) I intend to mount (4) ______AH batteries, and operate on 12v
4) on the 1:4 connectors available on EBAY, can I simply connect them to the four panels, then to the controller? will everything still be 12v?
Thank you. WC

Hello Sir, 1. The last terminal on the controller is the DC load terminal. This terminal will output 12 volts and is used to run LED lights or small DC loads.
2. I would recommend having the batteries closer to the charge controller.
3. For a 400 watt system I would recommend a 12 volt battery bank size of 230-280 amp hours (AH). You can always have a larger battery bank it will just take longer to recharge them.
4. I believe using the connector will put all 4 panels in parallel and keep them at 12 volts. It should work.
O.C
