Hi All,
Hoping someone may be able to help, in a bit of a rush.
Solar panel on ATC 150-160 watt renogy
basic solar controller
Bought similar panel from atc with pig tail in late fall
Hooked up, but camper not used much this winter
Getting ready for upcoming trip 4/15
noticed plug/outlet on roof was loose, upon inspection, noticed male end broken and small amount of water in plug. New one ordered and installed.
Nothing, checked fuses, around controller. After speaking with boys at atc, replaced 15 amp with 20amp
kept blowing fuses.
Suspected controller issues. Struggled to find exactly the right size, 320 w panels on roof, 150 portable panel also for high demand days.
Went with a victron smart solar 100 50, thinking maybe overkill, but wanted to be able to upgrade in the future.
Tested panels with volt meter both at 21v, but new plug from panel has polarity reversed, suspect plug roof flange will have same isssue.
Charge controller reading zero volts, from either and both panels.
Will go change plug wires to fix polarity issue.
Otherwise, anyone have a clue?
Have gone through solar thread, youtube, hoping for a hail mary, wife has plans for me today and i leave for Mantana tomorrow early.
