WELL WITH ALL OF THE CONNECTIONS SOLDERED AND SET UP, AND THE FRAMEWORK COMPLETED, I FIGURED WE SHOULD TEST THE SOLAR PANELS AND KIT. THE BEST PART WAS THAT THE SUN WAS JUST COMING UP, AND IT WAS VERY COOL TOO. WELL IT COMPLETELY CHARGED A 12 VOLT CAR BATTERY THAT TESTED AT LESS THAN 10 VOLTS, IN ALMOST HALF THE DAY. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK MEASUREMENTS IN THE MORNING. THE BATTERY HAD HELD 12.75 VOLTS OVER NIGHT. WHEN THE SUN HIT THE SOLAR PANELS, THE BATTERY WENT QUICKLY UP TO 14.25 IN JUST A FEW SECONDS. SOOOO.... IT WAS A COMPLETE SUCCESS. AND THE CHARGE CONTROLLER WAS WORKING JUST FINE. THE INVERTER WORKED PROPERLY AS SOON AS I SET THE UNIT UP. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER INVERTERS TO PLAY WITH. INCLUDING A 1500 WATT UNIT. I SURE WISHED I HAD A GRID TIE INVERTER THOUGH. TIME WILL TELL. KEEP SMILING AND HAVE A BALL. SCOTTY B. THE MUDDMANN MUDDy
