If they are "a throw-away item" It has become a very stable and long lasting "throw-away item". Having owned cares since the '70's I know I have always maintained my cars, my 1978 Honda civic blew up...

Max voltage 57.4, Time in Float 0

Most of us don't want to see numbers like that, you may not be impressed by your added array, but it appears needed, unless I'm reading your display wrong...

I think all of them do accumulated watt hours, at least my older model, P4?, does...

Likely 3 tons of scrap, but if it's free, go for it! find the best 6 and charge them up best you can, add your other 2 panels, you'll need all the charging you can get! some of the flooded telecomm...

It costs $300 a year here and likely to go up!

Hey, don't give them any ideas! :D

As we tell people new to solar...

First you need to conserve. I'm actually impressed if you can get that much on that little to begin with, but if your designing this from the ground up, I...

I'd pretty much disagree that you need an inverter large enough to "to meet the maximum power draw from the house" calculating as every thing at once. Pretty much what will run at a given time....

I see your using Trojan, NorthGuy's link points to Trojan specs, who specifies wanting 10-13% of capacity for charging.

The Specs for Solar World 240 watt panels contain NOCT values or Normal...

Well here's the my recent post on the thread Air 30;

Apparently the Classics can be setup to boost voltage, but it hasn't been implemented, I don't know to what extent, boB has said he might spend...

With todays solar array to battery costs, a smaller battery bank with a larger array makes more sense in those of us who have greater needs in the summer. The advantages of smart charge controllers...

I'm a poor child of 53, and kinda got hooked into doing off grid solar on a larger off grid home that won't be cheaper than the grid at current costs. It did make sense and I had a 'payback' date on...

A 'final version' of the classic likely will require the catastrophic loss of boB and Robin(god bless them and keep them healthy) and maybe others... It appears to be constantly evolving. There was...

Sorry, yes, it comes in thinner wire, OP was looking for 4 gauge, I posted 8 and 10, and should have said 10 gauge is usually available locally, 8 on order.

This is one of those times when following 'code' would be advised. Most wires will deteriorate quickly when exposed to sunlight. Most of the wire one your solar panels will be sunlight resistant RHH,...

Might mount it closer for a bit more info for this current situation...

Those are pretty reasonable numbers, is this the home you would like to use solar in? Is there a desire to be independent of the electric company or "Off Grid"? How do you heat water?

Actually a...

I like Chris's suggestion, though you may find that you have cloudy weather and draw 3 days with out any added to batteries during cloudy times and not need to 'cycle' the batteries. Since you have a...

Now your cooking with Crisco....

I think you are looking at momentary wattage, a computer and monitor that use 160 watts an hour together, might use 1600 watts if used for 10 hours. Big users of electric in most households are Water...

15, 18, 25, 60, 80... as you say it varies by inverter, look 'em up. Most places have specs or links to specs.



At this point I don't think there is a 1000 watt or less, inexpensive unit that...
