Hi all

I am new to solar, but have the above inverter,  10 x 330W panels wired in 5 banks of 2 panels in series and then all 5 banks in parallel. 

For batteries I have the 2nd life Revov 48 v system (2 x 25v batteries and BMC).

I want to use solar as my primary source of energy during the day and then the utility at night etc with batteries only doing a backup role.

Looking at the manual, none of the settings match this. Is there any way I can achieve this without placing batteries under too much pressure? 

 

Many thanks

For minimum battery use, yet solar power during the day, use setting 01 (output source priority) = SOL. This will switch the unit over to Eskom (if present) at dusk, and back to battery at dawn. It's not totally obvious from the manual that this is what happens.

Ash, did this panel configuration work out for you? I am new at this too and am trying to figure out a configuration with the same inverter/battery combination.
