  1. would love to see your results. I am going with the Quattro 8000va and Freedom Won lite home 15/12 By the way how much are they charging you for everything?
  2. ok, so your 16 panels have a Voc of 47,4V and an Isc of 11,06A - so that would be fine due to the high voltage
  3. Morning Just concerned why you would need 2 x 250/70 MPPT's what is the pw wattage for the panels going to be for your 5000va system?
  4. JA Solar supplies a 465w panel
  5. Thanks. will do

  11. Afternoon all, I am looking at putting up 4 x 20w spotlights around the house. The lights are to last for 12hours during the night. What would be the easiest? Buying 4 individual lights with 4 30w solar panels and individual batteries, or just buying 1 panel , inverter and battery? Which one would be the cheaper option. Not looking at going off Grid just yet. Your assistance would be appreciated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
