Hi. When I bought my boat in May, I changed it from 240v to 12v. It did have one very small solar panel. I employed a marine electrician and he installed 2 x 260 watt solar panels, 2 agm batteries, Enerdrive MPPT, inverter & installed a couple of plugs & USB ports all up costing $7,000Aus
On Tuesday, my Waeco fridge freezer stopped working. The volts had dropped to 11.6. I disconnected it. We’d had a few cloudy days but I don’t watch tv or use much power except for a light & phone charging.
The next day didn’t improve. I phoned the electrician & he asked me to turn the switches off on the enerdrive & turn back on. It showed e4 which is no power coming through. He came Thursday to look at it & the solar wasn’t coming through. After he left, I lost power to the radio, saloon lights & deck light. The lights working in v berth, midship cabin & head were working.
Does this mean there are 2 systems operating? He is very busy & i’m Not sure when he will be available. I will call Enerdrive tomorrow for assistance as it’s not working. At the moment i’m On a friend’s jetty & using their power to charge batteries. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Sue
