Great video have a look at this as a way of monitoring your volts or
current and switching a cheaper relay. The output version has enough power
to trigger a relay. Trumeter APM Features

Could you possibly give me an idea of a set up, or multiple set ups, that
could run a dishwasher, refrigerator, water heater, and possibly 6-10 set
of different outlets using a solar powered base like what you’ve created in
this video?

ok , so you have a 800watt inverter, and you run your tv and Direct Tv ?
this is a standard 800 watt inverter?

I have AGM batteries which are sealed and can be placed almost anywhere,
they don’t need to be vented. However, they are more expensive.

For connectors, you can check auto parts stores or online. Many places sale
them.

Watts are the measurent of power used in electricity. Watts = Volts x Amps.
My system is designed to be a backup in times of outtages or emergencies.
If I was looking at payoff alone, it would take years.

Thanks for the comments, my shunt is wired to be in between the battery
negative post and the monitor. It’s been awhile but the sig wire on the
monitor goes to the top left screw on the shunt, the gs1 and gs2 wires on
the monitor go to the top right screw on the shunt. The positive wire on
the monitor goes to the positive on the battery. Note, DO NOT put the fuse
in until everything is properly connected and you are ready, you can damage
the unit. This info applies to the trimtetric 2020.

also if rhandsom answers you, how can you know the discharge rate of the
batteries?

In parallel so was that battery setup in 12V? I wanna set my own SP(solar
power) up just to defer my electric bill. I wanted to run my 42″ tv that’s
hooked up to my pc which has a 750 psu. U had that portable setup and said
u could run a small tv/radio/box for around 5 hours but wasn’t that panel
very inefficient to recharge the battery? I assume ur consumption was more
than the intake, correct?

Thanks for your comments. I have more videos on my channel that are more
recent than this one. Hope you enjoy them.

No problem. Glad you liked it.

The shunt is connected to the “negative” wires/cables coming from the
Charge Controller, the inverter, and the battery bank. This is in order for
it to accurately gauge amps coming in and going out. There should be
instructions with your monitoring unit that show where the negative wires
connect.

Nice Video!…. Just wanting to know how you determined what size amp you
wanted to go with when purchasing your charge controller?
