RE: Solar Installation and Power On - A Deep Freeze Comes ALIVE on the HOMESTEAD!
I had considerable trouble viewing the video due to network problems- your write-up was thorough enough, that watching the video wasn't really necessary as I'm familiar with these designs; your system was nicely laid out, and the video well made.
It seems like the combiner, representing around half your system cost, is substantial overkill- until you hook up more panels and batteries and take advantage of that second circuit.
I ended up wiring up a third panel and putting them all in series. That puts that controller very much in play as its rated for no more than 200 volts and in winter with dropping temps, the voltage spikes. I hope that makes sense.
