Can I use this on my porch roof, run a lenth of wire 40 ft (?ga) to a controller, 12 V car battery and a 800 power inverter to a 115 v AC motor 2amp

yes but it depends how many car batteries if only one i don't think it will run the motor longer that 5 or 6 hours on a sunny day.Wotrh a try to see it meets you needs.You can always add another battery and panel.Best battery to use is a deep cycle marine battery.Car batteries don't like to me drained and if you really want a good one, i here the gel mat batteries work well.Keep the run of wire between the controller and panel as short as possible.

THE CORD MUST HAVE thick copper wire and don't go longer than 30 to 50 feet or ...the motor runs very hot ad will burn up easily on hot days...AND IF YOU CAN'T REACH AN AREA don't use an extension or the same thing happens, better to have someone qualified run a seperate receptacle to help you reach there. remember, no thin cheap wire...or else

I believe you could. I mounted my outside near my deck and ran an electrical cord to it. It works great.

I think it would work just fine for the amount of power it would draw. Although you stated that it is a 12 volt system so you could run it directly from a battery unless you wanted to use an AC to Dc adapter.

I did use a 12 volt 500 watt power converter to 115 volt hooked to my pickup battery to run the fan. This worked but I don't know how long the fan will run without the pickup running.

The answer to your question is yes.. The controller is like a voltage regulator on your car.. You can use the inverter as long as the batteries have enough charge which is up to the controller to maintain the voltage as long as your are getting solar...

You can as long as the controller is rated at 45 watts. You will boil your battery dry if it isn't rated correctly. The three amp power supply is fine, it will not boil your battery dry. Battery tender has a help line and they are great to talk to.

Depends on where you are planning to wire it in. I would suggest you watch tutorials videos and buy a voltmeter. Everything else, you can do it!

No the 50ft wire can use only to connect from solar panels to controller. I did cut it into 2 part, each 25ft long, yes I bought fitting for battery connection cable. I asked help from store where I purchase batteries, they are very helpful and tell you what really need.

I can run a 750W fan heater from mine, but since my inverter is installed in a Prius the small 12V battery (30 amp-hour) won't power it alone and needs charging from the Prius. Tripplite recommends two 75 amp hour batteries for a sump pump. YMMV

Yes, as long as the extension cord is 14 gauge or better and if the porch has adequate ventilation. It would be better to put the generator outside.

In theory it would work, but there a few issues to note. The inverter is actually running off the alternator, the battery is just conduit. Car batteries aren't made for long period discharges. My solar uses deep cyclebatteries. Alternator only putts out out 1500 watts, which will run a few things, but you can find a 3000 watt generator for just a little more than this inverter

Yes, it should to wire you will need 4 Gauge wire to run to the battery and place were its dry in vehicle . I got a Power Drive 1500 inverter that comes with the wiring included for a little more money, because 4 Gauge wire is not cheap. that I run in my semi truck and never had a problem.

You could make it work, but it will be more trouble than its worth in my opinion...this runs on a 12 volt electrical system (Like most cars), not household 110 V....so you will need an inverter to power it.

i used 12 gauge from the solar panels to the controller and from the controller to the batteries i used no 6 awg i already had here The no 6 is probably overkill i wouldnt go any less than 8 from the controller to the batteries what is your battery bank at least 24v i hope

Yes, it should be that easy. It will run on any DC supply. I'm running it directly off of my car's 12v DC through a switch. You can wire it in reverse to blow the opposite direction as well.

yes that should work ok, however I would recomend if posible that you mount it outside on the roof about 25 to 30 feet off the ground. I also highly recommend this pre amp
