Hi Jeff, its about time someone did vids the right way. Simple but very explanatory. My question is when the power from the power company go out could you shut the main breaker off and then resume using your own power source. If not short of a battery set up what do you need? Having your own power is kind of the point during outages.

This is a great video

"I'm getting 181 watts...this CFL light bulb uses 15 watts...you can run 20 of these cuz the inverter is 300 watts."
WTF???

I am so confused I hook my 4 100 watt 12 volt panels up positive to positive, negative to negative. I have 12 volts it wont turn on my grid tie which is a 22-60 vdc can I wire 2 panels in series and 2 in parallel to get right voltage. If I hook them all in series my volts are to high. Any advice?

@hayworth111 Yes it will.

I hook my 4 100 watt 12 volt solar panels up positive to negative and get a reading of 70 volts on my volt meter the grid tie inverter reads fault.? What am I doing wrong?

@jeralli2002 You have hooked your solar panels up in series which increases the voltage. You have exceeded the high limit voltage of the grid tie inverter and making it go into fault. Your inverter should be around 10 to 30 volts or 22 to 50 volts. Rewire your panels to come close to the GTI high limit voltage.

Can i hook (4) 12 volt 100w solar panels to a 600 watt 22-60 vdc grid tie inverter?

@jeralli2002 yes you can if you tie your panels in series.
