Policy Solar Charging Panel Video Installation

Step 1: Hook up the battery to the charge controller. Connect the battery terminal wires to the charge controller FIRST, then connect the solar panel (s) to the charge controller. For detailed reasons, see Should We Connect Batteries First Instead of Solar Panels to Charge Controllers?

Note: When setting up your system, the solar panels should be out of the sun or covered for safety reasons. Step 1: Hook up the battery to the charge controller. Connect the battery terminal wires to the charge controller FIRST, then connect the solar panel (s) to the charge controller.

Generally, any solar panel installation under 1MW is permitted without any additional approval required. Similarly to domestic installations, for no permission to be requested, there are several regulations to be met for commercial solar panel installations.

It's randomly charging at full power when it should be waiting for the off peak tariff, and is a law unto itself as to when it kicks into solar. For example, it should be charging at the time of writing - but isn't.

Also, in the winter when the solar panels won't be generating so much electricity, if you're on an EV tariff (giving cheaper prices for electricity during the night) you will want to use the cheap rate to charge up your batteries.

In solar mode there's no battery priority, margin or DC coupled mode to tell it only to charge the car from excess rather than drawing from the house battery. More fool me not buying a solar ecosystem product like the Zappi, but things have moved so quickly when I got the charge point (at which time I had no idea I'd be installing solar panels).
