    I wonder if the negative from the hall sensor is on the battery or hooked up to the shunt p- terminal. Renogy may not be reading the power the hall sensory is consuming giving a different reading. I have my renogy 500a shunt and a 300 smart shunt hooked up one after the other and they have identical readings.

      Hi Daniellang, I ended up replacing the eco-worthy monitor. After using it for 6 months or so, I noticed that I had to re-calibrate it more often than the Renogy / Shunt monitor. The shunt is a little more of a task to install but overall its less maintenance and more accurate over time.

    Hello, can you confirm that the coulombmeter function does what I think it does, namely: During the life of a battery 1-10 years (whatever it is) it charges and discharges, the coulombmeter function measures what current comes out and what current comes in (subtracts and adds - averages, etc.) then results (normally after several cycles, not instantly) the capacity in Ah of the battery. Let's say we have a 100Ah battery and I cycle it 20-80%, the coulomb meter should show me after some time a capacity of 60Ah (ideal). If we reduce the losses, I think somewhere around 55-59Ah. This is true ? Does it do what I think?

      Hi chitung2277, yes, there are options to set the 'Full' and 'Zero' voltages on the Renogy monitor. I have a 100ah 12 volt battery connected to mine and the Full voltage is set to 14.5v and the Zero voltage is set to 9.5v. This monitor also has a low capacity alarm. I've set mine to alert at 10ah on my 100ah battery. This is a great battery monitor IMO. I hope this helps !!

    you should have placed the hall sensor before the shunt with respect to battery terminal. that means connecting cable from terminal to shunt to allow hall sensor to be placed there. im sure you connected shunt directly to terninal and hall sensor after thats why rreading on ecoworhty is high compared to renogy since it is also recording the watts consumed on the shunt.

    Is there an option in menus to turn off AC inverter when you're not using it so you're not wasting standby voltage? Also if I'm going to run 24 to 12-volt transformer off of this thing do I attach wires directly to the battery and will the system know that voltage is being drawn?

    • @oh2bfr337
      @oh2bfr337 Před rokem

      There is an on / off button that turns off all of the power outputs (AC inverter & DC outputs) but still lets you charge the battery (via solar or AC input), however, there is no option that I'm aware of in the menu for the AC inverter only to be turned off. As for the transformer question, I've not connected a 24 to 12 volt transformer to mine so I can't answer that without risking giving you bad information, my apologies. You could probably ping MPP Solar and ask them about your specific requirements though. Good luck with everything and I hope this helps.

  • @jasonbroom7147
    @jasonbroom7147 Před rokem

    I love the concept of this inverter, but they really missed the mark with their solar charge controller. The input range is so narrow! It basically won't really charge unless you have about 40 volts coming in, and 60v is the upper limit. That means you have to be really careful with your series and parallel connections on your solar panels to safely bring in the (still very limited) 750 watts it allows. If this was more like a normal charge controller, where you had a something like a 30v to 120v range, the entire unit would be very beginner friendly. As it is, the limitations of the SCC make it critical to understand your VOC and make it somewhat challenging to charge up a suitably-sized 24v battery with a single day of good solar conditions.

    I'm on the fence with this Renogy monitor. I installed mine about half a year ago and I initially really liked it. Unfortunately it started flaking out on me about a month ago. It would sporadically sound it's alarm and tell me I had 0% battery capacity in my bank when the bank was fully charged. It also wasn't recognizing when I had a charge going into the bank. I think I tracked it down to a faulty pin on the wire that connects the shunt to the monitor last night. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a replacement wire. To be honest though, I'm not sure I even want to spend money on a replacement if this one only lasted 6 months. It's a shame because I really do like the display. Much more than ones like the Victron which only show partial information. Maybe this Eco-worthy is what I'm looking for.

    It's a CT shunt.. The Utilities companies use them to measure watts used. They been around for years. Mostly in apartments where they have only one meter. So they install these on every main breaker feeding the Apartment.. And they are highly accurate. As the Utility Companies don't give shit away.. A normal shunt reads Amps...

    I have a similar setup to yours. Mine is a 24 volt, 3000 w, All In One, branded differently, but I expect, was made by the same company, since the connections and the cabinet are so similar. If we do have similar systems, I suggest that you save the Male end of that power strip cord because you can wire it to the 120 VOLT AC INPUT terminals. That will give you the ability to charge your batteries with grid power, if you have no sun, or with a generator, if you have no sun or no grid power. Just plug it into an extension cord from the wall or a generator (could even be your neighbor's generator, if he's not looking) I actually recommend that you just go ahead and wire it up now so that it's there if you need it.

    • @mrhalfstep
      @mrhalfstep Před 11 měsíci

      Not a dumb question, I'm still learning everyday in this ever evolving DIY search for, at least SOME, solar independence. Now to answer your question. These All-In- One units have an inverter to give you the household current you need to run your appliances, a solar charge controller that will let your solar panels safely charge your batteries OR run your inverter when the sun is out and an AC charger that is basically like any other battery charger that you've ever used. It charges up the batteries that you, most likely, have chosen to hook up to the All-In-One so you can use it when there is no sun. That part of the unit is labeled AC INPUT or AC IN. Those two terminals just need the male end of an extension cord attached to them. Once you have that, you can plug the whole shebang into the wall and charge up your batteries, if your power is on at your house, or you can plug it into a generator and charge it on days that the sun refuses to give you free power. Doing that keep you from running the generator, maybe when it's dark, and easy for a crook to home in on the sound and steal your generator. Hope that helps. Feel free to ask more if you need to. Peace.@@JustScottPaid
