I am off grid with a Yeti 1000 power station. I have 4 100 watt panels. I just purchased a yeti Link to enable me to add more capacity to my system. I bought a Renogy 200 Ah battery and hooked it up to the controller. My problem is that the panels are charging the yeti at a high rate. With good light the panels are charging at a rate of over 400 watts. When the power station is near full charged, the input starts to slow down. Meanwhile the 200 Ah battery is at 25 % and the sun is shining and my 200Ah battery isn't getting the power that the station was. Goal Zero doesn't have a solution. The only way I've been able to charge it is to disconnect it from the power station and run cables from my trucks alternator.
Does anyone know what I could do to use my panels to charge the battery after it has charged the power station?

According to Goal Zero the Yeti can take up to 360W max and looks like they might need to be in parallel to not exceed 22V at the input. Unfortunately we can't offer more information than that given this is Goal Zero's product. -Renogy Team |
