Hey Guys Its Rob from The Off Grid Tiny House
Today I wanted to give you guys a first look at an upcoming video I have scheduled for my you tube channel. It is not yet released to the public so you guys get to see this information and pictures first. So lets get into it.
So this is the charge controller I will be picking up recommend to me by a friend who is way smarter into solar then I am and he has this one as well.
MISOL EPSOLAR 60A MPPT solar regulator, 12V 24V 36V 48V auto recognition, MPPT solar charge controller

Okay ! So Thats just the specs on the charge controller. I will have a string of 6-100 watt poly-crystalline solar panels in series connection feeding this charge controller. They will feed at a high voltage and then convert that voltage down to 12 volts. This way I should be comfortable running my loads in the winter months.
Here is a video showing the picture of what it will look like in parallel which i will no longer be doing. But at least you will have the picture hopefully.
