Solar up and running

We have so high winds here from time to time I had them I used them. Some were given to me.

I'm curious why you doubled up the brackets? I used the same brackets but just used 4 on each panel whereas it looks like you have 8? I've been a bit nervous about them in the wind but all the panels are still there so far.

There is always one on here. Don't need one I not like some of you guys who need every bell and whistle. It tells me enough of what I need to know and if in doubt I will break out a meter. I am on a budget so that crappy meter is just fine.

You again? All he needs to know is whether they're being fully charged, and that he's not overdischarging them. That only requires a voltmeter, which he has. Anything else is expensive bells and whistles to satisfy an anal retentive need, not an electrical one.

Where's your battery monitor? That controller remote display won't tell you c r a p about the state of the batteries.

Solar Bvld has been great to deal with. The mounting brackets are renogy.

solar was 112.00 each
controller and remote 135.00
not pictured was a Renogy double cable roof penetration 24.95
In line fuse holder 14.00
30 amp breaker 29.00
battery cut off switch 29.00
Bought stock wire, crimper, made up my own connections with the stock wire. All the ends were Renogy stuff. Made a couple of mistakes had to buy a few new crimp terminals. about another 160.00 of stuff to complete it. Most all was bought from amazon except the panels.
Hard part figuring out were to run wire.

Thanks rkentzel for the info!! Your install looks fantastic!:C I hope mine turns out as nice.

Just on the phone to arrange local shipping when I bought my primary components a few years ago.

Going down to s. California next week. How were they to deal with. Thought I would stop and talk to them personally.
Thanks, Bill

If you see something on the website you want to pick up... I recommend you call in advance to check stock.

Thanks so much, have you dealt with them before?
