Can also convert to or run off grid. Please explain carefully

To run off-grid, you need batteries and a compatible AC-coupled inverter (maintains 120/240 AC voltage and stores excess power from solar system in the batteries) matched to the batteries. This is suitable if the solar panels are far from the batteries. Another approach requires solar charge controller(s) DC-coupled to batteries and inverter to supply your house power.

Yes, you can do that. Bryan has provided a good answer to this question. Also, since the panels are 12v, you are limited to the grid-tie inverter selection. You'll probably need a low voltage, high current grid-tie inverter, yet this may not be UL listed.

Yes! Not only you can, you have spare power to run up to 165 watts. I have tried many and this is the best, most consistent converter I've ever used whether the load is minimal or high the output is steady (measured with a fluke meter) I recommend it 100%

Yes you can connect the inverter to a Breaker as long as the circuit panel is off grid

Yes sir. You can Google different sites to find a watt calculator step one. When you figure out how many watts you need to run the equipment you want to run you can figure out how many watts of solar panels you need. You can also find site's that will help you with your battery bank as well. If you decide to go off grid? Grid tied is another story and I can't help with that. When you put that all together you'll know what type of inverter you'll need to supply your house, cabin, RV etc. If you do your homework you'll find that solar is a very good choice.. Good luck. Do your HOME WORK first!!

This is kit is for off grid that you need battery and inverter. We also have grid tie kit listed in our store. Thanks for your interest with Renogy.

My windmill runs on DC with a converter to change to AC. You need DC to charge batteries with. I have 12 batteries to charge. AC to run household grid.

Yes, It need grid potential to operate. During utility power outages you solar system is nonoperational.

You could easily get a converter and use it this way, look on Amazon under travel...

there is a voltage converter you simply plug in. That part of the is wired.

I believe you can, but that doesn't mean that you should. Making the controller to all this conversion will severely alter its efficiency. There are charts in the manual showing just how much you lose, the more converting you force it to do. You're best off trying to get your panels bank output configured to be as close to battery voltage as possible.

I would presume you'd need a simple and inexpensive voltage converter [tranformer].

Yes you can use a grid tie inverter it's the seme what's is matter it's the cain of inverter you use

We used this in an off grid setup with solar panels and wind turbine. The transfer switch is useless in this setup and you need other parts for it to work properly. But yes this can be used off grid and works especially well for a back up generator for when there isn't enough wind or solar, although I must admit that ours hasn't turned on in months or even years as it is setup to kick on automatically when the voltage in the batteries hits a critical low and that hasn't happened in a while due to an abundance of solar panels. This generator is certainly not cost effective to power a house for any number of days, without grid, solar, wind and/or batteries.

It can be converted using this but you need to see the watt of your applicance to see if this is compatible.

Any spinning device is AC, somewhere it has to be converted to DC. You can destroy a battery by overcharging it.
