I am new to the solar world, and have been trying to refine my off grid system. So here is the info:
1. I am running a 75 watt, 110 v ac septic tank pump in a farm pond.
2. The pump runs 24/7...I estimate the pump to use 1800 watts/day.
2. I have three mono solar panels; (2) 100 watt panels and (1) 300 watt panel.
3. None of the panels are connected to each other.
4. All panels have their own PVM solar panel control charger ( (2) 20 amp with each one hooked separate to a 100 watt panel and (1) 30 amp hooked to the 300 watt panel)
5. Each panel is hooked directly to a 75 ah deep cycle acid marine battery. 530 MCA and 425 CCA.
6. The panels receive approximately 5-6 hours of direct sunlight each day.-I live in central Kansas
7. The panels are located less than 3 feet from the battery and solar charge controllers.
8. (1) 120 watt power inverter connected directly to the battery.
The battery will not stay charged. Can I hook the inverter directly to one of the PVM's instead of the battery?
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!!!!
