Hello everyone! especially rabird and tattoo I want to give special thanks because they have clarified all my doubts and have guided me in the wonderful and addictive world of renewable energy. Now what we came up, I'm waiting to get the fuses and the shutoffs, but at what point I would like to know wich precautions I should have. I have some questions. 1) Whenever I am going to do some loads installations I must disconnect the solar panels, disconnect the cables that go to the controller, disconnect the battery and finally disconnect the inverter to add something or change some position? 2) Can I use two inverters? Actually I think you understood my doubt, having no control room how should I operate before and after the charge controller? Thanks! |

You are welcome, We try the best we can.. I have 2 inverters a 2000 and a 500.. I use the 500 for everyday 24/7 items and I use the 2000 for larger stuff like a vacuum, table saw etc.. But not both at once since they each pull power just being on..
Yes on #1. But it depends on what your doing? That's why it's real nice to have shut offs..
I don't really understand your #2 question?? Whats a control room?? Now before your CC is your panels.. If I understand your question..

Now to work on the House side of the inverter just turn it off, unplug it or unhook the battery..

I got ya now.. Don't put your system in a box it needs to be out in the open so it can stay cool...

Could you recommend a box of fuses and switches that you have used or are using to see how I can adapt it to my home without damaging the aesthetics of the place where I have my installation? I am very enthusiastic and I like that everything is in order and looks good. |

Sure you can ask a favor.. I am as particular as anyone... I used the shutoffs that are used on boats, I bought them at Cabelas, the fuses are just like those that Renogy sells.. I bought them at a car stereo install shop but you can also buy them both on ebay but they are a little more money....
Now with that said they will look like hell in a formal living room or dining room but they will be just fine in your man cave or a garage... Even in a laundry room that should be ok unless you entertain in their.... LOL

LOL Man, you made me laugh, actually the installation is close to the living room/kitchen but I was looking at some Tesla models of powerwall batteries and giving me some box idea but in pvc panels with good ventilation and easy to open and close for keep everything clean. Man seriously you make me laugh with the laundry room comment.... Jajajaa lol |
