Here's a link to a Reddit site that lists many available parties: https://www.reddit.com/r/VisiblePartyPay/ Pick one that has a bunch of members. That way there will be little chance of the number of members dropping below 4.

I did a test yesterday with my 85 watt panel. With it pointed directly at the sun I got 3.6 amps. With it positioned vertical on the side of my coach I got 3.2 amps. Sky was crystal clear and no clouds. I'm located in central Florida.

I have one fixed panel on the roof and the others are mounted on the side. The side panels can be tilted up or they can be removed and set out in the sun.

It's best to join a Party that has lots of members. If someone drops out it won't impact your cost. Here's a link to a Party with a bunch of members: https://www.visible.com/p/visible-park

You are comparing apples to oranges. GoalZero is using Li-ion NMC (Lithium-Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt-Oxide) chemistry. The number of cycles for NMC is a lot less than LiFePo4 but there may be other advantages.

The Rover 30 has a maximum input of 100 VDC. 5 panels in series would be 100 VDC. There most likely would be times where the voltage would go higher than 100 VDC so there would be a chance of frying the controller.

It's unclear whether the OP will have a total of 3 panels or 5. A typical 100 watt panel will have a Voc of about 20 volts and 5 in series would be 100 volts. As mentioned, make sure your controller can handle this high of voltage.

There are UV resistant varieties of zip-ties. They are generally black but make sure it states UV resistant on the package.

It should work fine. Hook it up and see what happens. My most useful meter is called a clamp meter. You can measure current by simply clamping it around one of the wires. It's important to get one that can measure DC (Direct Current). Virtually all of the sub $20 ones will only measure AC...

I have a Renogy 170ah lithium that I installed 2 years ago. The only thing I did was I upgraded my solar charge controller. I have had no problems charging directly from my alternator or from my stock converter.

I trashed my Visible phone a couple of days ago so I put the Visible SIM into a 6620L MiFi Jetpack. I then changed the APN to VSBLINTERNET. Visible cell service is only $40/month and is unlimited everything including hotspot. This can be reduced to $25/month by joining their Party Pay plan. Once...

This will put the open circuit voltage over the 100 volt limit of the charge controller.

You need to connect to the MiFi via WiFi by entering 192.168.1.1 in your internet browser and logging onto the the administrator page. If you don't have the manual you can download it here:  http://cache.vzw.com/multimedia/mim/vzw-jetpack-mifi6620l/internet-vzw-jetpack-mifi6620l-ug.pdf You need...

If your fridge is shutting down because of low voltage you may be doing some major harm to your batteries if you don't have a BMS (Battery Management System). If you do have a BMS your batteries are disconnecting, which is a good thing. You probably need more battery power.

As I stated earlier, an LED is a diode. No additional diodes are required and it will work on AC or DC. The simplest circuit would be an LED and a series resistor. The AC power source is 60hz and the human eye will not notice any flicker. Any bulb purchased would already have circuitry built in...

Granted you will get some loss going 100 feet but I do it quite often. I use two 50ft lengths of #10 zip cord that I purchased on Amazon. Link: 10 gauge red/black zip cord [/URL] For connectors I use Anderson SB50 Powerpoles. [/URL] Link: Powerwerx Anderson SB50 Powerpole These connectors...

An LED is a rectifier (Light Emitting Diode) so if you hook it up backwards nothing will happen. Some LED bulbs have circuitry built in to handle a broad voltage range. These typically will function with either polarity.

My most useful meter is a clamp meter. Most cheap clamp meters only measure AC amps. Make sure the one you choose is capable of both AC and DC. Below is one available from Amazon: [/URL] Clamp meter on Amazon
