I love your explanation....i have a question...the question is some of my solar panels had problems (voltage drop)in each of them(all).finds out the diodes are bad (changed all) while some work and others stil maintain voltage drop... please need your help..thanks from Nigeria.thanks.
Hi am from Nigeria..
SHE EXPLAINED EVERY THING SO WELL
great info. thanks
RIP.
and as you mentioned surge AC then why didn't you take into consideration in wh
hay dear, can you provide a certificate of solar course ??
Well done 🎉😊
how to wire mismatch solar panel
Oh God, is that a dude?
Best explanation. I had to do series parallel on my solar flex 200 that came with RV. Couldn’t get the full 600W. I used this video & Jimi rigged with 2 to 1 connectors thanks Amy
What brand and amperage charge controllers?
Would anyone have any details of how I could get the software update for these batteries ?
I think there is something wrong with your charge controller. With an AGM solar battery you should be charging at above 14.4V. I have a CTek D250SA and that outputs 14.65V typically to the AGM battery. 12.65V is less than float charge.
I’d say the power losses would be due to the internal resistance on the solar battery you are charging. You have to look at the entire system.. The state of charge of the battery would also determine the current draw.
Great
What the hell did I just watch?
Dónde se puede conseguir soporte con la aplicación. Nadie responde en ningún sitio.
Great information, exactly what I was looking for
I see you don't sell it anymore what is a replacement
It must have a transformer in inverter
No warranty on any of these batteries now as AltE has stopped trading.
I would hope most of the roofs damaged in wind storms and tornados the past few weeks are replaced with metal roofs. Actually, the insurance companies may require it.
Kilovoult Did you go out of business?
😢
Good info
very cool school your teaching
Not really my issue. I have a 12v 190w panel and a 12v 200w panel dealer wired in Parallel. I have a 12v 400w new single panel. 100/50 controller. What say you?
Perfect video, just the information I wanted. So helpful

Skyping too much
Do you know which key fits Solaredge P401 400W Optimizer?
Very good video
RIP
is it possible ?
it would be really nice to see you live I mean it would be a great pleasure to see your favorite teacher live and talk to her and ask things
Thank you for these precious tests

YOU ARE MAKING IT EASY PESY TO UNDERSTAND.
Watched the complete beginner video series and feel very knowledgeable about solar energy.
👍
As I started to learn and luckily came across your channel/website and found the stuff super amazing I decided that I would watch everything on your channel and read and practice all the stuff on your website.
Amy you are wonderful. I really love the stuff you are doing.
What if the voc is lower than specified ?
Don’t buy i bought the same product on Amazon it had missing screws tried to reach out get screws replaced they refused through Amazon. Their reply was return your money buy it elsewhere. Absolutely no customer support I’m sure they’ll remove this bad review just like they blocked the bad review on Amazon. I will be making a video posting on Facebook KZread all social media to warn other customers about these bad practices.
Can I connect the grid wired to AC2 input intended to generator? This is because I want to use grid as a backup
Do you mean just for battery charging? This would be one of my questions as well. Can I use AC2 to charge the batteries is the solar input is too low? I live in Calif, under MEM-2, and would like to charge the batteries from the grid if necessary, but not run power back to the grid, which would be in violation of my MEM-2 agreement. I am looking at this inverter for an off-grid power system for my Agriculture Water Pumping system. Motor starts are high amperage, and the XW-Pro is, so far, my first choice. Charging the battery, if necessary, from the grid, using AC2, would be a massive plus.
@michaelclark2704 exactly, I want to be 100% sure zero goes back to the grid and I only use the grid if solar is not enough and my battery backup runs low.
I had a back feed of voltage to one of my panels,and it broke two of the four diodes, It is a 12 volt (220 watt) panel, and the voltage read about 4.7 volts. I replaced the two bad diodes and the output voltage is still around 4.7 volts. Do I need to replace all of the diodes ? Any information will be of great help. Thank You.
The best way, to est a diode, is to take it out, do the measuring.
Please consider doing an update!
Amazing explanation. Thank you a lot
