Well those 2off 6 into one Din connectors off Roger for my 1.5Kw array and that array is going to get rewired in series and a SunnyBoy grid tie is going on so I can install a split system aircon for the house.

Now as I do have 6 190 watt panels on my shed they did need the wiring moved off the main board and those connectors were the go. Now the one step I forgot when I started was disconnecting the solar and my 25 year old BP solar controller let out the magic smoke.

Now as I did have a spare 100/50 Vicron MTTP put that one my shed array so after 3 days 9KwH has been put in. It good to finally see what this shed array is making and what surprised me when I went into expert mode the MTTP said just leave the settings as they are the best.

My next job is putting that first inverter I made online as my shed inverter and the old Kipoint can just work off the front power points.

Finally got the heatsinks ready to go in the mill for drilling and tapping the 3mm holes for the fets can happen but I do need to get onto AEM and get some toroids before I can go forward on that inverter.
