I have what I'm sure is a stupid question for other viewers, Jeffrey. But I just picked up this very unit, and am at the beginning of my learning curve on it. I have not yet had an opportunity to try out the 200 and 400 watt Anker panels that I got with it, which I'm hoping to do as the weather gets better. Do I need to be purchasing rubber insulating lineman gloves to use when plugging the panels into the unit? Or is it designed to not have to worry about that sort of thing?
There has been discussion on regarding where you plug the 5 panels not being very well protected with some risk. I would be careful across crossing over connections but I wouldn’t worry about plugging into the back of the panels or the unit. Safety first is always a good idea, enjoy the unit I certainly have.
It is just like plugging in your charging cable to your phone. You will be fine. Just don't touch the 5 input part. I don't worry about it since it isn't easy to get shocked, unless you do it on purpose.
Would you prefer 2 200 watt panels or just 1 400 hundred watt panel? I have 2 200 watt panels and want to add more. I am considering the 400 watt panel so this way I have just 1 panel to deal with than 2.
If you have the room to store and transport the larger panel it might make an easier setup. But I probably would opt for the smaller panels sine I man not need that much power each day. Kinda depends on your needs and how much storage space you have.
you should have done a input solar review on how much watts your able to get with those panels
Rarely the full of 400 (each panel is 200 watts). I’m usually using them in fall and winter in the Desert so sun is not optimal.
Good
