if i set my system up as a 24v system and my batterys as 24v can i also wire my batterys to pull 12v to run an 12v inverter

I would not advise that as hooking up an inverter to one battery while two batteries are in 24v could be harmful to the battery's lifespan. I would suggest 24v on the panel side and 12v on the battery side. Please let us know if you need further clarification. Kind Regards, AW

For a 24V system this would be acceptable. The problem with this controller is with in the loading of it. The out put to a load (lights, inverter, etc.) comes on after there is no light to the panel.

Yes, connect two 12-volt batteries in series to get 24-volts. Here is an article with an image of this: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Marine-Battery-Wiring/531785.uts

Hello,For x4 of the 250 watt panels would be too much power for the controller to support in 12v let alone in 24vThe minimum you should go to run these on 12v would be roughly 96 amp controller such as the MidNite Classic.Please let us know if you have any other questions.Regards,Austin WaltiRenogy Technical Support Rep.

That depends on the battery voltage. With a 12vdc battery you should be around 14 amps when your battery voltage is below 12.0 volts for a 24vdc battery you should be around 7 amps

I have read somewhere you should connect the inverter to the battery. Because of the potential load you are pulling could exceed the charge controller. I am just passing on what i read just got my panels will be installing them soon

Presumably the input voltage. I know some inverters will take 12 or 24v natively. I use this one specifically in a 24v vehicle and it's great.

the inverter will work but you did not say what wattage it is. Are you making the 2 batteries into 12 volts? You will need a charge controller too.

I use my charge controller with a 12 volt converter, but I think you can put as much power in as you want,and that it will charge a 24 volt battery bank.Since I have 12 volt converter, I had to put all my 12 volt batteries in parallel, so as not to go above 12 volts and exceed the converters volts

Rajesh, The run time depends on the size of your battery not the inverter. Joe

No. This unit uses 18 and 20 volts on a multipin connector, you could use a small inverter in front of it to run from 12 volts.

Yes. You connect the battery with the charge controller. This is only for 12Volt battery. If you have 24volts, you will need to replace the charge controller with a MPPT one.

The PS-30M controller automatically selects 12 or 24 volts at start-up based on the battery voltage, so to properly work with 24V panels, the 12V batteries need to be connected together to present a battery voltage of 24V so the PS-30M selects 24V mode. I won't get into the details of how to wire that, but as long you have an even number of 12V batteries, you can wire them up to get 24 V. Note that your load output will also be 24V so you need to be sure your inverter or whatever load you connect can also handle 24V.

I would say yes, 2,a 24volt system would be enought.Be sure your inverter will cary thecompressor starting currant ,typically 3 times running amps. and a pure sinewave type.Get a GOOD battery charger-6 amps. or more. Vmax has a good matching charger

Wire the 2 12V Batteries in Parallel so that the Batteries remain 12Volt DC and not 24Volt DC in Series.

Do not hook up to 24 volts, it's For 12v to 13.5 dc volt . You can find good one inverter 24 volt @ http://www.theinverterstore.com/2500-watt-power-inverter-24-volt.html

Hi Karen, I think your question is back to front......but I may be wrong. The batteries should be rigged up to supply the inverter with + 12 V Direct Current for the inverter to supply nominal 120 V Alternative Current......The inverter will take power from the batteries and if the batteries themselves are not supplied with power [from solar panels, an alternator or charger] the inverter will eventually take the batteries down to about 10.5 V DC whilst still delivering the nominal 120 V AC. Which is not good for the batteries. I hope this helps.......best wishes....Jack.
