UNLIMITED POWER!!!!1!!





Finally a day with no rain so I got this done. Wiring is not done though, only got 2 setup in paralell. Goal is to have two groups in paralell then put those in series. Was going to go the other way around, but this is simpler wiring wise. Just waiting for heat shrink tubing to arrive as I do need to splice the wiring going inside to make it longer.

Got 200w of solar going into the charge controller at 12v now though, had 100w before that. Will be 400w at 24v when all is said and done. The increased voltage will be better to squeeze a bit more power out of it even in sub par conditions. Might upgrade system to 24v on battery side eventually so will also be ready for that. 4 golf cart batteries in series should do the trick. :D heck that would almost be more capacity than my UPS.
