What can you runon 200 Amp solar panels
ByJun 25, 2023
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

A single 200W solar panel can provide between 600 and 1000 watts daily, depending on location, azimuth, and tilt angle. Paired with an appropriately-sized battery bank, this is enough power to run a couple of small appliances or devices such as coffee makers, laptops, LED lights, small TVs, or even a small refrigerator or microwave. Running multiple devices simultaneously or for extended periods will most likely require additional panels.

    Is there a type of inverter you recommend for the 100W Grape Solar kit?

    Answer This Question

    Thank you, Wayne, for your recent inquiry with The Home Depot. The Grape Solar 100-Watt Off-Grid Solar Panel Kit (203505908) can be used with the Renogy 2000-Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter 12V DC to 120V AC Converter for Off-Grid Solar Power w/ Built-in 5V/2.1A USB Port (308843205) or the Renogy 1000-Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter 12V DC to 120V AC Converter for Off-Grid Solar Power w/ Built-in 5V/2.1A USB Port (308843075). You will need to ensure the wattage of the inverter will be adequate for your individual usage. There are several options to choose from. Please go to HomeDepot.com and search for Solar Inverters to see our large collection. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.

      Can I connect the Grape Solar 100 Watt Off Grid Solar Panel directly into a Portable Generator such as your Ecoflow River Pro. As you know the Ecoflow River Pro supports up to 200 Watt Solar input if it is compatible. If yes, then 2 GS 100s

      Answer This Question

      Every power station is different. You will have to reach out to the provider f the power station to see the maximum allowable panels and which configuration they must be connected in.

        What kind of 12 volt battery for this kit
        BySep 11, 2021
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        With a 200W system I recommend at least 100Ah (amp-hours). You will need to ensure that it's a deep cycle battery, and not an automotive or starter battery.

            Will this work to charge a Jackery or similar mobile power source in lieu of a deep cycle battery? If so, does it need a special input cable to charge it or will the existing input work?
            ByMay 9, 2021
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            This kit includes ring-lug cables to connect to battery bank. Jackery offers multiple products, so you will need to reach out to them directly to see if it can function as a battery for a solar charge controller.

              Answer This Question

              This solar kit is designed to charge a 12V, deep cycle battery. What you can power is limited to what you can connect to your battery or inverter. Please reach out to support@grapesolar.com to receive a production estimate localized for your area, to figure out how long you could power your devices.

                With the right batteries for storage and a proper inverter I believe that is the 40 amp charge controller you can have up to 7 panels so you can do quite a bit more than just run lights! Just depends on how far you want to go with it.

                This is not going to power anything it will however charge your batteries and how much you run is what your battery is capable of. On a perfect day you may get 90% thats 90 Watts per hour hope that helps, I have three. They work great.

                  Was shipped without connectors, contacted Home Depo and they wanted me to contact Grape Solar. Before I could do that, the friends I bought and installed this (as additional panels for expanding thier current Grape Solar system) messaged me with complaints. They are off grid and more than 100 miles from me. One of the controllers melted down and almost caused a fire. The property is immediately adjacent to Oregon State forest lands. Grape Solar advertises the kits to be expanded to 500w or 5 panels to a controller. They aren't. I put another controller on the circuit and watched over hours. Error code E08 if I recall correctly. The controller shut down due to over amperage with 5 panels. I seen 41-42 amps in peak sun in August. Grape Solar claimed they never have issues like that with thier controllers and wanted pictures, basically accused me of making a installation mistake. I've been installing 12 and 24v car stereo and solar for over 3 decades. The problem lies with thier 10 gauge wire supplied with the kits aren't rated for 40+ amps peak. NEC wiring states 8 gauge. The 10 gauge wire gets hot and melts. If you are not there watching the error code and promptly disconnect, the controllers overheat. We've had 3 or 4 controller failures out of 6 that we've purchased and installed.

                  Remarkably Excellent Experience and Quality
                  Overall, I would buy this brand 100 more times. The construction of the panel is the highest level. I get the desired amount of amps and volts as I predicted and expected during full sun, and reasonable during shade. The cables are substantial, I do not know if they are copper or alum. but they are thick and long enough. The tech support answered their phones and knew what they were talking about. Remember, you are talking to Oregonians, they are sincere and respected, please be the same with them. (I had a general question about MPPT and PWM with the Poly panel kits.) Two things I would like. Cables on the panels in red and black, instead of all black. But for those who have not bought, the kits will not allow you to make a polarity mistake with the pre-made connections, just always always always verify with one you are putting into the controller, every time. Second, I have had to disconnect the remade connections several times, for upgrades, and the connectors are not friendly to old man arthritis fingers, just wishing it was a bit easier, as I can not pinch anything. That is it, these are awesome in my testing. Ordering a 3 panel kit today.

                    Great kit solid quality, I use it on a pole shed to power 12 volt lighting works great. It charges a deep cycle battery that powers the lights, I have power inverter that I haven’t tied in yet, but that will happen soon as well. Great system only downside is it should come with the mounting kit. The attached photo is two 10 watt LEDS powered off the battery the panel charges daily.

                      The panel, charge controller and cables are working great. Temporary install but the panel is putting out 13.9 volts, the amperage is not quite up to where it should be. This is a temporary location and the angle is not correct but wanted to test it before I put it in a permanent location and angle.
