Good video. It would have been nice if you had shown the fridge and freezer (and the other appliances you nentioned) that you are powering with the Delta 2 and also shown the reading on the Delta 2 while powering them
Also you should get longer cables so you can have your Delta 2 in the house and not out in the sun. And with a 550w solar panel, i think you would be getting much higher solar outout if your panel was inclined, and not obsttucted by the handrail or anything
@@togetherslashbargainsoutha2332 I understand. Sad that you have to worry about that. I ordered the Delta 2 a while ago and it'll be arriving any day now. I am considering getting solar panels to charge it with, and was thinking of just getting one solar panel like you have instead of several smaller ones like i see a lot of people using in videos. I have considered getting a 550W panel like you have because I don't think it can output more than 500W in actual usage but I just get a little hesitant because I have seen some videos online where panels get close to their rated power output. I've been looking for someone knowledgeable about this to give me an informed opinion and to tell me whether several panels might be better than just using one
@@007alztrulithe way power is limited in these cases isn't obvious, but it is pretty simple. The companies selling these products should really be more clear about these things. The voltage limit, in this case 60 volts, is a hard cutoff. If you exceed 60 volts, the input will simply be switched off to keep the controller from being damaged and you will get no power. However, the amperage limitation is more figurative than that. You can absolutely over panel these machines as long as you don't exceed the voltage limit, but the machine is able to deny over-amperages to limit intake to a maximum of 500w even when the panel is capable of harvesting more than 500w of energy to send to the controller. This is absolutely not an issue and is totally safe.

Will do

I did get longer cables. I put it flat to keep eyes out from hunting our home
