Victron BlueSolar 100/30 MPPT Charge Controller - 30 Amps / 100 Volts I think that this might fit in my budget now. Good?

John, Been out and about all day today and did a complete 180 on the batteries :blush: I purchased 2 of these (see below) at Sam's Club today. I got good dates on them 8/17 and sweet talked my way out of the core charge. It's a girl benefit that my old butt will take whenever I get a...

Would this 180 watt panel be a good starting point? The larger sizes limit my options for other panels and fan placement. If it is I could start with this 180 and the MPPT controller, later add on smaller panel with the CTEK as a portable or mounted.

I had bought the Solar Blvd panel earlier this week, messed up by reading the wrong size of panel's Voc.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Mono-Solar-Cynergy-180-Watt-12-Volt-Solar-Panel-180-W-Watts-Monocrystalline-/352093735952?epid=27003646391&hash=item51fa6c0c10:g:2QcAAOSw~rpZSZFm My intention...

 I got very nervous about the Windy nation battery because of some of the recent reviews... 3.0 out of 5 starsNew battery not same as old ByChaisson Kimballon July 15, 2017 Verified Purchase I liked the old style better now they have thread in bolts for the top posts and they changed companies...

2013 standard. I do not want to mount numerous panels to the roof. Looking at picking up racks and using cross rails for mounting. That is why the first panel I found at Solar blvd got me excited, it fit perfectly across. This is getting a bit frustrating and I am sure it will continue to do...

I get what you are saying but I live in southern Alabama on the beach. No solar anything around here, it is considered                           un-American...lol. The only shop that shows up within a 50 mile radius is a installation company that does grid systems, no retail. Is there something...

Good Morning, The 255W panel is only sold in pairs as far as I can tell.  My roof mounting space is just under 59" wide, with the fan not in yet I have the flexibility of deciding best layout for all items. I will change the plugs in cart :idea: Did not check lengths with string. Will be dry...

Okay John it is late and my brain is beyond mush but this is what I have in the cart. Have not looked yet to see what, if, and how many fuses are needed for this controller so please chime in. I changed the batteries back to the UB china special because of Windy Nation's recent design change...

Thank you John, I looked at the Victron....do I need to get the blue tooth dongle also? I will gladly get my parts ala carte but it keeps adding up to be more than that darn kit. I think that is why us noob go for the kits over the cheaper option. Okay will clear the cart and go back at it, I...

Ok, Purchase line up #2 http://www.ebay.com/itm/281169784988 Renogy 200w  w/MPPT $399 If I decide to expand my system I will add another controller. I still want the CTEK and Smartpass but will get this part done and behind me first. For batteries I am only comfortable with sealed. I have...

Hello fellow pet lovers. Felt an overwhelming urge to jump in say hello and flash a photo of my babies. Miranda (left) is my 19 year old Shepard/Collie mix that I rescued on her last day before she was to put down at a kill shelter in 2002. She has been the best companion I could have ever...

Welcome aboard Steve, we are glad you have joined the fun. :P Susan

Good Evening, I called Solar Blvd this morning and they were very understanding.  That order is canceled and the money is on its way back to me :cool: A huge thank you goes out to WalkaboutTed for catching the Voc rating mistake I made. I had been switching back and forth between so many tabs...

Thank you Ted, I will. :)

Ted, Thank you for your help :angel: Your van is what mine wants to be when it grows up..lol I am worried now, the Voc rating for this panel says it is...crap I read the wrong panels info. :@ Just sent letter to Solar Blvd asking if I can change the panel that was ordered, if not I will be a 2...

Again, I would like to thank everyone that helped me by posting on this thread and contributing to this forum. :heart: Just made my first purchase of the future setup, 1 x 180 watt panel (not a kit) from Solar Bvld on Ebay for $175.00. This panel fits perfectly sideways across my van (room for...

If you hit the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area give me a shout :D

Universal UB121000-45978 12v 100AH Deep... [/URL] These are 168 each on Amazon and are sealed. The core charge in my area is 18.50 per battery and being such a small higher income/tourist town, prices are fairly high around here. Even if I was to purchase from Sam's it would involve a rather...
