Does this hook directly to the solar panel or does it require a charge controller between the solar panel and grid tie inverter?

It connects directly to the solar panel, but don't connect it to a panel that puts out more than 18 volts. It claims to work on voltages up to 30v, but anything over about 16 is just heats up the inverter without generating any AC. Over around 24v it may or may not operate at all.

most cases no it does not. as long as your panels do not exeed the range listed on the input(if you cannot use or understand a multimeter do not purchase product) although the product i purchased did not work and had to fight tooth and nail after sending faulty product back for 4 months to get my money back. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is!!

The grid tie hooks directly to solar panels, you do not want to go through a charge controller nor do you want to hook to a battery bank. Using this small inverter I am assuming you have a twelve volt system, make sure you do not exceed the 250 wattage or you will fry the inverter For a little more money you can get a 500 or 600 watt inverter, I have 6 600 watt inverters that have been working great for over a year. I have 3 185 watt panels for a total of 545 watts on each 600 watt inverter, It is best to stay a little under what the inverter can handle

Yes, most solar panels can wire up directly. But my recommendation is go with 500 or 1000 watt grid tie inverter. The 250 will burn out quickly.

It goes direct to the solar pannels. But only works for a month. Something happens that blow the fuse. I replace it and blow it again. So, don't buy this thing. Get a better quality one.

No I'm pretty sure you can connect the solar panel street into the controller box. I bought a separate solar panel and A mighty Mule open and that's how it hooked up

Yes, you can connect directly to a 12 volt battery. No charge controller is needed.

You need a charge controller. I bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008I0IZ7O/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , but I had to cut the wires on the solar panel to connect to the charge controller. You can get adapters, but I'm not sure what those are called.

If you link directly to the solar panel battery-powered, I have a problem may occur when the battery is filled, and may cause damage to the solar panel, the best use MPPT Charge Controller I use this kind MPPT TRACER 3215RN Solar Charge Controller 30A 12V 24V EP I do not use the conduit You got an answer, if you did not get the answer for that, please send a message again

The controller takes the power from the panels and manages both the battery charging and load output. I am not sure what you are asking.

You should NOT connect directly to a solar panel.... you should go thru a charge controller to regulate voltage, and to cut it off when solar panels do not generate enough current/voltage...

The solar charge controller is a Go Power GP-PWM-30 and the inverter is a GO Power GP-SW300-12 3000 watt pure sine 12 volt inverter. Joe

i don't remember but it's really simple.the solar panels connect to a charge controller witch connects to the battery.then the inverter red cables connect to the positive post and the black to the negative.if you are useing more than one battery parallel the batteries connect the red cables to positive on one battery and the black to negative on the oter battery and the same with the solar panels.

Yes, just connect it independently to the batteries(not through the solar charge controller).

All you are looking at with item is solar panel and charge regulator. Only fusing you need in this area is at the charge controller 12 volt output for 12v DC lighting (if used). Don't forget to buy the panel mounting brackets. The inverter that I am assuming you are buying separately has fusing built into it.

This is a "battery" panel. To work together with my local energy provider, you'll need to connect "grid-tie" panels using quality grid-tie inverters..

Needs to be connected to a panel then plugs into a electrical outlet. This is designed to provide power to your home grid. You are thinking of a different type of inverter

Purpose of a charge controller is to charge a battery. This charge controller can handle battery banks from 12v to 48 volt. you can connect all 4 panels to this CC in series. However you will need 2 of these CC or convert your system to a 24v. Inverter needs to connect to the battery and NOT to the CC.

No inverter necessary, however, you will want a charge controller, so that the battery is not over charged, and the panel does not discharge the battery when its not producing electricity.

You'll need a charge controller so the connection will be: panels>controller>batteries>inverter

grid tie is solar only but if you have a battery back up you can use the wind turbine to charge your battery's. You will have to buy a Outback grid tie inverter.
