Looking to add some solar power to my rv. I have 2 100watt Renogy Mono panels and a Morningstar TS MPPT60 charge controller. Want to add 4 more 100 watt panels. What do I need to connect these components then to the RV? Thanks I'm in Florida, 33594. |

Hi,
What I would recommend to add for a system like this is the 4 panels, 1 MC4 Branch connector, 1 x Adaptor kit of desired length (panel to controller), one Tray Cable of desired length (controller to battery) or just a stranded copper core wire. Also, if you want mounting, 6 sets of mounting Z-brackets. You will wire your panels in a series parallel connection, 2 strings of 3.
Thank you,
LP

So what am I using to get all 6 panels attached to the adaptor kit? You said to order 1 MC4 branch connector and 1 adapter kit. Is the adapter kit the wire from the panel to the the controller? Is there an MC4 connector that will attach all 6 panels? I'm a little confused.
Thanks

Is there an MC4 connector that will attach all 6 panels? I'm a little confused. Thanks I tried to wrap my head around LP's suggestion. After drawing it out on paper, I think I understand what he's recommending. You'll end up with a total of 6 panels. Take three panels and connect them in series. Positive connector on first panel to negative connector on second panel, positive on second panel to negative on third panel. Then repeat with the second set of 3 panels. Finally, take the positive and negative leads from each set of 3 panels and run them into the MC4 branch connectors to parallel the two sets. Adapter kit of desired length/necessary gage from branch connectors to controller. New tray cable to handle the increased current if necessary. Does that make sense? |

Hello Kodiak,
Sorry about the delay in response.
Usually to parallel multiple panels together, you would need branch connectors. However, with 6 panels, you have too much current to safely use the branch connectors. They are rated at 30A maximum and with 6 panels you are pushing close to 32A. This is why all of our kits max out at 400watts, not just for the charge controller, but also the branch connectors. The only kit larger than that are the cabin kits, and the premium 600W and 800W kits but those are for a 24V battery setup. If you are using our controllers, the only one to be able to safely do 600 Watts is the 40Amp MPPT controller, but only if connected to a 24V battery bank, and even then, you have to set up the panels as two strings of 3 panels in series, paralleled together. You can do that parallel with a branch connector. Each string will only be putting out 5.29A for a grand total of 10.58A.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Best Regards,
ON & EH

We were just in another flood situation and with out power. I am interested in a portable unit that will provide enough power to run a couple of lights, tv, satellite system and fridge? What am I looking for? How much wattage? How many solar panels, what type of batteries and how many? Inverter-how big? What type cables and other equipment am I going to need?

I'm looking to install a solar system to a van.
This would be the max load.
* AC 1.7g mini-refrigerator... not sure how long it would be actually operating- 4-5 hrs/day?
* AC 13" LCD TV with DVD 2-3 hrs/day
* AC Laptop charger 2 hrs/day
* DC LED lights- 3 @ 5 hrs/day
* 3 DC cell phone chargers
* 3 small DC fans- 8 hrs/day
* small AC heater if I could squeeze out a little power. Doesn't have to be WARM- just 50-60 degrees F in the winter. It's a van so small space.
I was thinking a 150w panel, a 20w charge controller, a 600w inverter & two 6v batteries would work. Does that sound about right?
THANKS!

What are the shipping fees and why do you need all my personal info to give a quote on shipping?

I am looking to add solar to my 16ft travel trailer. I currently have a invertor gen, would not like to have to run it every day. I am looking for something I can use to basically charge a phone or two, and run my fridge. I am living in this trailer and do a lot of boon docking, I am primarily in very sunny dry locations. To me it seems like two 100w panels would keep me in the positive/even. I have to gen for back up but I am really looking for something clean and that I don't have to plug in and listen to every day. I have a 2018 16db camplite trailer. it is Zamp wired, Im not sure what this means, I know it seems they have wired their system backwards to deter using other systems, that it its self steered me clear away. however with an adaptor can this wiring be used still or is it necessary to rewire the trailer. I can not find a lot about the zamp and what wiring actually exists and where its wired to. I am in moab Utah for the next 2 months which is where the install will be happening.

Hi! I would like an on grid system. It would be mounted on the ground next to my mobile home on concrete. My utility bill states I used
264 kwh in September 2017. I called customer service and they said my usage can sometimes be as high as 425 kwh in one month. I would like a system that can allow me to sell back electricity to the power company. I live in eastern Washington in Walla Walla. What size system do I need? Do I hire an electrician to install it or someone to build a frame for the panels?? Thanks for your help!
