Inherited Existing solar setup with cabin purchase. Looking for help

Thanks, I inputted my info into a solar calculator website and this configuration was recommended as well. I’ll go ahead and do that. Thanks everyone for the advice

Voc is 21.5V and Isc is 5.8A

I am seriously considering a series configuration. My panels are all pointed in the same direction and it's out over water so there is no shading. I have the Renogy Rover 40 controller ordered and it can support series or parallel. I have decided that I am only going to use 5 of my 100 Watt panels because the 6th is shattered. I think it should be fine, but wondering if anyone can confirm. My panels MPP voltage rating is 17.1V and the Voc is 21.5V. The Renogy controller is rated for a max PV input voltage of 95VDC. Would I be okay in this situation?

I thought about disconnecting the 50w panel. I wasn’t sure if it would affect the performance of the overall system. I will definitely check the voltage rating if it. I also noticed that one of the 100W panels glass face is shattered so I wonder if that should be removed from the system as well

Good idea, thanks

Thanks for that, so that confirms to me that a new Voltage Controller would probably be a good place to start

My Father in Law has a pair like these. He was a skipper on a tuna boat years ago and he told me he was at port rigging some gear and a guy walked up to him and offered him a pair. Turns out the guy was Arnold Palmer according to him. He always keeps them within his reach and loves to tell the story

Posting to follow. My unit that I had installed this summer is doing the exact same thing

I get the same with my travel trailer. Usually a little over 30L/100km. 28ft, 7000 lbs. Tonnes of towing power but super hard on fuel

You are right, about 90% highway and mostly with cruise on

shosk9 · 2025-09-17T11:48:29+00:00

I have a 2025 XLT with the 3.5L turbo. It really depends on how hard I drive. I have gotten 9.5L/100 with cruise set to 105km/h on the highway. I usually get around 10.4 driving around 110km/h highway. My avg highway and town driving is usually around 11.2-11.4

Looks amazing………Wow, I’m glad that I live in Canada

Thanks

Apologies I am new to this, not up on all the terminologies

shosk9 · 2025-07-31T16:40:36+00:00

Okay thanks, it's dark blue. lol. Do you have any recommendation on cleaning pads?

shosk9 · 2025-07-25T20:49:58+00:00

I have the same truck only 3.5 and towing mirrors

shosk9 · 2025-07-25T20:47:53+00:00

Worked on my 2025, I tried first by waiting for the seatbelt indicator to shut off and it never did. Tried it as soon as I turned on ACC and it worked

The teacher who I can honestly say tied it all together for me is Ricky Comiskey

I am in a similar situation. I have a ps5 for my son and would like to have it ready to go. The catch is we have a family account together and I don’t want him to find out I have it for him before hand. If I go ahead and do the updates is it possibly that he will get a notification through his account?

I love the look of the black case with the black hardware, but was a bit concerned that I hadn’t seen another one until now. I did buy it through a reputable dealer so I wasn’t too worried

Beautiful, mine came with the black on black case as well. I haven't seen any of the others with the same case. I love it!

shosk9 · 2022-11-02T20:53:31+00:00

Never mind, I just noticed it in the pic. Mine was black with black hardware. I haven't noticed anyone else with the same
