Have a renogy wanderer 10A wiring it to solar panel 12 vdc problem on the load terminal connector to a wifi controller with relay, Will power up the controller but not enough power to program wifi controller Maybe this controller will not work, want to charge battery and not let it discharge battery when sun goes down but be able to keep power on the wifi.

I have noticed that having longer wires doesn't really lessen my power. Also, the angle of my panels has very little effect. I just leave them perpendicular to the ground and they work just fine. Sometimes I put them at an angle but to me it doesn't seem to matter. I also heard that a big power inverter will also suck more energy. Haven't noticed the difference in that either. I understand to get optimum performance,one needs to have everything at an optimum setup but I get enough without worrying too much about all that. If it works,it works!! And you don't ever wonder why your experience differs from "everybody" else's? Some thoughts: (1) You might be measuring the wrong thing (2) Your load might so small relative to the power that you are generating, that indeed, tweaking has no effect (3) Your descriptions lack important details. For example, on the side of a hill, the ground points towards the sky. What really matters is the angle of the panels relative to the rays of the sun, not the angle relative to the ground. Another example: did you actually measure the power draw of a "big" inverter (whatever that is) and compare it with the power draw of a s"smaller" one? Another example: if your wiring is adequate, then adding another foot (I assume to the cables from the panels - you didn't say) wouldn't be noticeable. My main point, is if you come into a technical forum, and present information to a bunch of people with experience and expertise, and have shoddy and unscientific methods, you have no credibility when you claim that none of the well known facts are untrue for you. You need to prove it, otherwise it is a waste of everybody's time. Oops: I didn't notice how old this post was. Sorry about that. I do stand by my comments though. |

Any reason you are using the load terminal? If you want to run a load with a significant current, but prevent it from discharging the battery, you can use something like this. They work great! |
