Yesterday was overcast all day and the solar panels with MPPT charger still put some charge into the battery.
Have 50 watts installed now.
I can only install 1 or 2 panels at a time because the weight of the lead shot I secure the panels with is just too much for the roof. If I install them in a stair step formation I should be able to do 3 at once.
This is the general wiring scheme.
The 3 amp automotive blade type fuses are actually located close to the terminal board. The are to protect the genasun from input short circuits. I read the manual and this charge controller can not tolerate input short circuits.
The solar panels could care less if they are shorted.
The 10 and 15 amp input and out fuses put are also blade type automotive fuses and are located at the input and output terminals on the charge controller.
I drove home last night then by 1100L the next morning the charge controller was showing full charge with only 50 watts worth of panels installed.
Looks like I need to get that grid tie going.
The suburban after the alt delete is using less power than I originally figured and the solar panels with MPPT charge controller are producing more power than expected.
