Mouse, squirrel, dormouse, treecreeper & wren spring to mind (our wrens always nest in ivy)

Dale, 1) You can run a cable that far but thicker means less loss. Join your panels near to the panels & just run two leads (positive & negative) to the charge controller 2)Under 30 amps 4mm is okay. 6mm is good up to 50A plus. Long runs of 4mm risk loss. 3) It should come with cables with...

That will clear your sinuses out

Of vourse No problem

That kit will produce up to 6 leads. To wire in parallel, each panel will require two leads (a positive and a negative) The 4 in one connectors are a pair so just order one

One of the most frequent questions that we are asked (indeed the reason we started on YouTube) is "how do I set up an electric fence to protect my chickens from foxes". Our latest video explains how step by step.

It sounds like the sort of thing you need & you can always send it back!

Your best bet for cables is just to make them to the right length. Bateria sell a kit & it's super easy (I will do a quick video soon) https://bateriapower.com/collections/solar-connectors/products/solar-panel-wire-kit They also do the 4 in 1 connections...

The 4 in 1 should plug directly into the MC4 plugs on the charge controller. You will probably need some MC4 extension leads to extend the leads on the panels to reach the 4 in 1. You will need to lay your panels out & measure the length you need. I would make a waterproof housing for the...

The great advantage of sticking to 12V & wiring in parallel is that you can use the cheaper PWM controllers like these. Personally I would like to Victron models but the Bateria model I have has been good too. They do PWM 12V 30A controllers for a decent price ready wired for MC4 so you can plug...

I'm a bit confused by the last post?

Spot on

Quite right IF you wire the panels in parallel. You could wire in series which would increase the voltage rather than the current but with 12V panels I wouldn't

Mc4 extension leads are pretty much universal but you can make your own too. MC4 is just a universal plug on a wire. If we read your plate your panels are putting out about 6A. There is some advantage in keeping everything 12V. If you wire the panels in parallel, the Voltage stays the same, but...

Okay. What you have are 6 panels. They are, nominally 12V panels that, in reality run a bit higher on Voltage. They have MC4 leads on them In order to make them work, you will need a bunch of MC4 leads, a charge controller & one or more 12V batteries. I suggest Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries...

Okay, what are you trying to achieve here? 12V power? Mains Power? Stand alone system or tied to the house wiring?

Renogy generally have a good reputation - I assume itcs still covered by a warranty?

We have a DeWalt 18V XR strimmer. It's light and handy but not a patch on our 2 stroke Husqy in terms of power on nettles, brambles etc.

Shunts work but there are other options these days. I'll try to cover that too!

Of course, whack it on this thread if you like. What type of batteries are you planning to charge?
