I'm sure he will use the SW until it dies. I would. Never thought of running AC from the 24v side to the dual outbacks to charge the 48 V BB. Would need a xfmr though right? I would install a separate Midnite CC for each battery bank. I know the classics output 12v at the aux, so what type of re

Wrenches, A site visit discovered two of the AC input breakers on L2 inverters had tripped but the handles didn't move. A forced reset of the breakers resolved the issue. System back to proper operations and customer is happy. Kevin -Original Message- From: RE-wrenches [mailto:re-

Try looking at the New Midnite Kid, allows for two parallel charge controllers off the same input. I too have systems that I use 2 CCs for alarm systems pull the 2nd CC "PV source input" from the 48 VBB and charge the 24 VBB. disable MPPT I will also agree RU outta of yer mind? Yep the SW 4024s

The Blue Sky should still work as long as he switches PV positive and negative. However, I like the idea of charging just the 24 volt system and feeding AC to the Outbacks to charge the 48 volt bank. A little more loss but mush easier to implement. You could easily control when AC is fed to the

How about running AC between the two locations and then you can battery charge via external charger or SW4024.? Jay peltz power On Mar 24, 2015, at 6:11 PM, Jeremy Rodriguez wrote: > The thought was to charge the batteries for a new building utilizing an > SW4024 with new classic controll

Hi Jeremy; I usually would combine both buildings all into one system, KISS principle, and also less cost. Later when those batteries die, replace with a properly sized bank. I also wouldn't be building a new system around an SW4024, those are getting really dated. Great inverter, but they d

Keep in mind that the Midnite controller has a combined PV and bat. negative and the Blue Sky requires isolated PV and bat. negative. Larry Crutcher Starlight Solar Power Systems On 3/24/15 6:11 PM, Jeremy Rodriguez wrote: The thought was to charge the batteries for a new building utilizing an
