Solar

Just turned my system on, did the quick start up on the Midnite controller with remote , facing South, panels running n/s, do these readings look ok?
I haven't read up on the system, installed it last fall and just flipped the switch, specs in my sig. Thanks! Going crazy either last minute packing and repairs before we hit the road Tuesday or Wednesday West bound.

I looks ok for a fully charged system. Need to know how many amps you are drawing off the 12 volt.. Do you have the Wizbang Jr. tied to the shunt? You should be able to read your load on the Magnum remote if you have the BMK kit from Magnum. I would also disconnect shore power for a day to draw down the battery's some which will let your solar panels pump some juice.. I would think in good sun you should put out 600 watts.

Thanks for getting back to me, I have the WBJr, but my eyes glazed over when I looked at the set-up on it. We are rushing around getting ready for the trip, just did bearings, adj brakes, installed 4 slide coves, 4 shades on exterior, and moved leather business into the Monte. I need a vacation..
But, I need to set the Whizbang up, is it difficult?

The WBJr is tied to the two small sensing screws on the side of the shunt.. Once you get down the road a ways you will be able to slow down and balance the settings so everything runs smooth as silk.... Maybe we will get to see you when you get down to AZ.. We are in Quartzsite now and have the bedroom slide out rebuilding the floor in it.. It is kinda handy to have access to a woodworking shop when doing repairs..

Larry you are lucky to have that access, I want to meet you on his trip, in a month or so we should be around there
Good luck on the building process, I would like to see pictures of your working on that if possible..
Stay Frosty!!
