Astoria Solar Energy System
Had AM SOLAR system installed last week by Lew Farber, Master Tech Mobile RV Systems (AM SOLAR preferred installer). Very smooth install that included 4ea 160w panels (GO-160 kits); Solar Controller MPPT 60/2 with Remote Monitor; Magnum MS-2012 Pure SineWave Inverter/Charger and Remote Control Panel; Magnum Battery Monitor System; Smart Battery Combiner, Panel Tilt Mounts, Aux 120vac Ckt Pnl; Upsized all wiring. Solar Energy serves everything except HVAC. Also, new 4ea Exide GC135 house batteries and added 2ea additional GC135 battery to provide 6 total house batteries 660ah.
The last picture shows what we found in our 120vac panel: We had neutral problem with 20 amp conv/micro ckt; check your bus bars for tightness.

Nice! You will get a lot of good usage from that system.

Thanks. Now, I've got to master understanding of the MPPT Solar Controller Remote Panel. Lots of information - must learn what it all means
