- To connect the panels in series, you do not need to use the Solar Y Branch Connectors in the kit. The included in-line fuse is intended for use ONLY with a series configuration.
- To connect the panels in parallel, you must use the included Solar Y Branch Connectors, and you will NOT be able to use the included in-line fuse.
- For a parallel configuration, we recommend installing an in-line fuse rated for a current GREATER than the sum of the short circuit current of each panel in parallel in your system.

What do I need to complete my off-grid solar power system ?
A solar panel has to be connected to a charge controller to regulate current, and a battery to store the electrical power. You will need adapter kit cables to wire the solar panel(s) and charge controller, and tray cables connecting the charge controller to a deep-cycle battery.
What does off-grid and on-grid mean ?
On-grid simply means solar power equipment (array or solar panel) is connected to the electrical grid, while off-grid refers to systems that are not connected to the grid and therefore store the generated power for later use. Off-grid systems are not affected by grid blackouts.
Why is my solar panel under producing ?
Solar panel performance may be hindered for a number of reasons. Most commonly environmental conditions such as indirect sunlight, temperature rise, cloudy sky, and dirt and stain build up on the top glass will cause a reduced power output.
How should I connect solar panels in my electrical circuit (series vs parallel)?
Solar panels can be connected in series or in parallel to meet your electrical circuit size and power demand. Connecting solar panels in series will have the effect of adding up their operating voltage output, while system current output will be the same as that for one panel. While, connecting solar panels in parallel will have a different effect; individual panels operating current output will add up to be the system output current, while system output voltage will be the same as the output voltage of one solar panel. To meet the optimum power output and system rating for your power system, you can use both parallel and series connections.
How many solar panels do I need ?
The best way to gauge how many solar panels you need, is to understand and define the power load needed from this system. Power is measured in Watts, and capacity is commonly measured in Watt-hours (multiplying power output in watts by the required number of hours of operation multiplied by a safety factor of 1.5-2). Therefore, it is wise to size your battery bank first based on the minimum required capacity, and accordingly decide how many panels or how much power input is needed.
Can I add more solar panels to the Rover 40A and expand my system power output?
Yes, more solar panels can be added to this system to increase the power output. The Rover 40A has a maximum PV input current of 40A, maximum PV input voltage of 100VDC, and maximum input solar power of 520W at 12V or 1040W at 24V. You can wire more solar panels in series / in parallel to achieve larger power output, however you are limited by the maximum input voltage and current the charge controller can handle. It is safer to build a system operating at around 90% of the rated voltage and current to ensure there is a tolerance for any system overvoltage or overcurrent.
Will this solar kit power my AC unit ?
In order to determine what size solar kit is appropriate, you must first define the total load to be expected of the solar power system. Most manufacturers will publish a specification sheet of the AC unit online and will include a nameplate sticker on the AC body. Both can be used to determine the actual power rating of the AC. BTU is a common measuring unit for energy in AC and water heater products, however we are intrested in the energy rate, or simply power. Power will be listed in units of Watts, and can be used to determine the total load resulting from running the intended AC unit. Multiply the power rating recorded in watts by the total number of hours of operation intended, to obtain the total watt-hours. Divide the total watt-hours by the peak sun hours in the location of installation, and multiply by a safety factor of 1.5-2, to obtain the total number of watts your panels should produce to power the air conditioner load. The total power load can be divided by the power output of one panel to obtain the number of panels needed.
When do I need an inverter ?
If you intend to use this solar power kit as a power supply for home appliances (e.g. coffee maker, TV, etc.), then you will need an inverter to convert the output voltage from a 12 VDC system to a 120V AC output socket. Renogy offers a variety of inverter products to suit your unique system and meet your power demand.
Thermal Evaporation Plant
The Thermal Evaporation Plant is a multiblock structure added by Mekanism. It is used in the Mekanism Ore-Processing system to produce Brine from Water (see Usage).
Construction [ ]
The basic structure is available in two versions which are shown in the following images. The differences between the simple and the advanced version are the temperature and production rate; the simple version saves on resources but is less productive. The Thermal Evaporation Controller and Thermal Evaporation Valve have no predefined positions and can be set anywhere in the structure above the base layer.
The minimum height of the structure is 3 blocks. To increase the internal storage and rate of evaporation, the structure can be raised up to 18 blocks high.
Simple version [ ]
Usage [ ]
The simple version only runs on ambient temperature. For example, if the plant is standing in a desert, the internal temperature and the resulting production is higher compared to if the plant is standing in a snow biome.
The advanced version works independently from the ambient temperature, and achieves much higher temperatures and production rates thanks to the energy of the solar modules. Either version, however, may have heat imported to the structure via Thermal Evaporation Valves. The power from the solar modules of the advanced version is still available when they form part of the structure. If the power from the four solar modules is used in a resistive heater, the heat generated is more than enough to reach the maximum possible evaporation rate (of 1080mB/t) if imported to the structure.
The structure requires no further external energy source. To start the production of Brine, input Water into the Plant via Basic Mechanical Pipes and Electric Pumps.
The produced Brine can be extracted via Basic Mechanical Pipes and the second Thermal Evaporation Valve. To start the extraction the connection between valve and pipe must be configured with a Mekanism
