FAQ
1.What Is an Inverter Charger with MPPT?
2. Can I use this inverter to charge my batteries?
3. Can I use the inverter with a 24V system?
4. What size inverter should I buy?
1. Sizing the right power output.
Make sure your inverter charger can handle at least 1½ times the load of continuous demand you expect to have regularly. To figure this out, simply add up the wattage of each device you plan on running simultaneously. Be sure the inverters you’re considering will be able to supply enough AC power.
2. Check your battery voltage.
The DC voltage rating on the inverter will tell you what battery bank it is compatible with. For example, a 48V battery bank will require an inverter that is compatible with 48V DC input.
3. Size your installation spaces.
What area or space will you set your inverter? Make sure the inverter will fit in the space you have in mind with enough room around it for proper ventilation and no fire hazards.
4. Remote operation is important.
Renogy pure sine inverters come with convenient remote control (BT-2 )and DC HOME APP options so that you can operate the unit from afar.
5. Do I need Modified Sine Wave, or Pure Sine Wave?
Modified sine wave inverters are older technology and generally less expensive. They can be used for many standard appliances but may cause trouble with delicate electronics or audio equipment. Some equipment may work but run hotter than normal.
Pure sine wave inverters are a bigger investment, but much more versatile.
a) Output voltage wave form is pure sine wave with very low harmonic distortion and clean power like utility-supplied electricity.
b) Inductive loads like microwave ovens and motors run faster, quieter and cooler.
c) Reduces audible and electrical noise in fans, fluorescent lights, audio amplifiers, TV, Game consoles, Fax, and answering machines.
d) Prevents crashes in computers, weird print out, and glitches and noise in monitors.
6. How do I hook up the Inverter? What size cable should I use, and is it included?
When connecting the inverter to the battery and solar panels, please read all of the instructions and cautions in the manual before beginning the installation. The minimum recommended wiring gauge for battery wiring is 2AWG, PV wiring is 4AWG, AC input and out wiring is 8AWG.
Incorrect or improper connection points and corroded wires can cause great heat to melt the wire insulation, burning surrounding materials, and even cause fire, so ensure that the connection is tightened
