SOLAR REGULATOR INSTALL - How to install a solar controller

[@gregmeredith3360]

OMG, thank you for the info (re changing battery types). It helped !!!!!!

[@Sydneywizard]

Thanks. This was a big help in setting up the controller.

[@236vic]

Hi can you say how many panels you connected to this control, and if those panels were connected in parallel or series? And how many batteries you are charging and how they are connected parallel or series. That 20 amps is in regards to amps going through the controller to batteries right?

I ended up getting 2 renogy lithium batteries, best thing ever, I've seen them as cheap as $680 each I think when they have sales. You won't need to upgrade batteries for a very long time.

[@twox4x432]

Yeah that's definitely the next thing on my list after these ones die ahaha, lithium is so much better in basically every way

[@GregRickard]

Good review, very helpful tx. I have a Redarc bcdc25 charger but want to add one of these for the display and bluetooth app basically.

[@twox4x432]

Thanks mate! Yeah they're am excellent little unit with heaps of good features

[@stevecrowe176]

Is there a reason why it can't be mounted on the side of a battery box? Also if necessary instead of vertical mount, mounted at 90deg (sideways)? Great vid to show the change over, cheers.

[@twox4x432]

Don't see why it couldn't be mounted to the side of a battery box, but not sure about actually mounting it sideways. Thanks for the positive feedback on the video mate!!

@@twox4x432 going by what you mentioned on the vid you're using a Kings solar panel? Which one? If you are, how's the Kickass 20a controller going matched with the Kings solar panel? (I have a lithium 100a battery) Cheers

@@stevecrowe176 I have a 100ah lithium and the kickass mppt charge controller and kings solar panel and it works like any panel would.

[@236vic]

hi can you test yours at code zero and let me know if it works, that you have current in load at any time?

[@user-mz2cn3jp7t]

My 20amp mppt controller has E1 how do i get in back to Eo thanks

[@stevecrowe176]

Do you have any C/B between the solar panel and MPPT controller? Or a C/B between the MPPT controller and aux battery? Cheers
