on my Rv i have 6 * 200 watt solar panels through a contollar to 4 6v 390amp/hr batterys will this b to much for the Watts UP

Assuming each panel might put out 12 amps at full sun, 6 x 12 = 72 amps. The meter literature says 100 amps rating, 50 amps continuous. Problem is the wire gauge is 14 - so you can't run much wire length (less than 5 feet or 2 meters)at that 50 amps. Borderline. I don't think this will work for your application with that many panels/watts/amps.

I think you will be OK. If you do the math, 6X200 = 1200 watts. That's easily handled by wattsup. Be careful to connect the solar cells to the "source" end, also I would use a diode to prevent any chance of backflow, just as a safety feature.

I believe it is rated to 100 amps. You might check with Watt's up to see if you are within limits.

No This provides 100 watts so to run this many watts would take 7- 100 watt solar panels & that would give you 10 watts to charge your battery under full sunshine. However I am new at this so you may want to consult some other people with more knowledge on this matter.

I use a 10 watt solar panel to maintain my two 12 volt deep cycle travel trailer batteries with a battery tender monitoring the charge. The batteries are always fully charged and ready to go when I am.

From my experience I have a 500 watt sun gridtie inverter and a 600 watt sun gridtie inverter with 4 250 watt grape solar panels connected in parallel everything is good runs warm but I keep a small fan on them I would say no more than 500 watts on that 600 watt inverter.

If you are using 4 panels with this kit it only uses a 20 amp controller. You must be using a 24v battery bank to use up to 400 watts. Can you explain your situation a little more? We are a bit confused with what setup you have. Thank you. AW

it depends on if you have continues charging from the solar cells and how much they put out. if everything adds up it will, BUT i would not hook up anymore than 2500 watts or 21 amps if your charger can not keep up with the battery drain.

I have two 275 watt panels hooked to mine. I believe I have room to add another. It is a 30 amp charge controller. B

yes that is what I do in my boat for 2 rv batteries and it works great. make sure and get the power regulator so you don't over charge your batteries.

Go for it. That's the same reason that I purchased their 100 watt system for our camping in locations with no services. I, however added an A/B switch as I use two deep cell batteries in our camper so that I ca use one battery while the other one is being charged by the solar panel.

YES. WE SELL THEM FOR THAT PURPOSE, HOWEVER IF YOU ARE USING THE BATTERIES FOR ANY PURPOSE, THIS 7 WATTS WILL NOT KEEP UP. SOLAR HOWEVER IS ALWAYS A FUN EXPERIMENT. IF 7 WATTS WON'T KEEP THE BATTERIES CHARGED, ADD MORE WATTS (PANELS) (OR LARGER WATTAGE PANELS). YOU COULD CHECK OUT OUR INFORMATIVE WEB SITE AT www.sites.google.com/site/solardoityourself, or even call me directly at 305-900-09596. thank you

Hello,This unit is much larger in size and a lot heavier than our standard 12v solar panels.I would highly recommend to check the specification to make sure you know just how big it is.We do not offer any roof mounts for RV for this panel that we know will support it.Highly recommend to not to connect an 80 watt 12v panel with this. The 250 watt 24v panel will lose a lot of power because of that.Please let me know if you have any further questions.Kind Regards,Austin WaltiRenogy Technical Support Rep.

if you bought the renogy solar panel bundle, you have everything you need to charge your batteries. the inverter you use will depend on how much power you would like to use at one time. to give you an example of how much to expect from solar panles and batteries. i have six solar panels and 8 -35 amp deep cell battiers. hooked up to a 3600 watt. inverter. at night i can run my tv, computer, vcr, printer, and a fan for 5hrs. and still have 12 volts or more in my batteries. by noon the next day all the batteries are back to 13 volts. if i run a big electric space heater the batteries are used up in about a half hr. so as you can see it depends on how much sun you get and what you are going to power. hope this helps.

Yes. 5watts isn't a whole lot if amperage. But for an agm battery the lower the amps the better.

First, I bought one to keep a deep cycle battery charged up. Second, I would not use the 160 watt panels as they would not be cost effective (you would probably need lots).Instead look at the 250-300watt panels. As to the #, it depends on how much power you consume, and how much of that you want to generate, ie, 5-10KWH per day.

Yes, you can hook the 2 6v batteries in series to the inverter, that's what I did. The solar kit is going to be independent as long as it comes with a 12v charge controller. *Note you should only run your batteries down more than 50% in an emergency, that will shorten their life span of the batteries. A 1500 watt inverter maybe a little over kill matched a 95 watt solar kit. You need a bigger solar kit, or just buy and second one. I started with 2 (100) watt panels and plan to add to them.

I'm using the Outback FM80 with 1500 watts, 6 x 250 watt panels using a 24 volt battery bank. You need to decide what battery bank to use? The 24 volt system is recommended. You can call the engineers at Grape with any ? you might have! They are very helpful.

This model will handle a maximum of 100 volts of DC output from your solar panels, so your 48 volts is well withing its limits. If your system uses 12 volt batteries, which is most common, and your panels produce no more than 130 watts of maximum power (260 watts if your electrical system is 24 volts) this controller will do the job well. This is a great little controller and I'm totally satisfied with it, and the price is very fair.
