    You see lots of people push the cable gland down and squeeze the sealant out you're bang on mate

    you can also purchase black plastic nut cover doodahs for the tops of those tex screws for a pro finish rather than an agricultural/industrial finish .
    Having said that, I think I should order some myself for my agricultural/industrial looking roof fixtures :-)

    Yes I really like the look of that renogy device, I've spoken to a few people and that's what I'm going to use in my next build👍Gotta love tek screws and sikaflex! I prefer using an external cable junction box for the entry gland as you can unscrew the lid for future access unlike the gland boxes, but those ones look tidy. Nice work!

    Can't beat a good old sticky flange 😏
    Same setup as mine except i put a switch inline on the solar so i can get a full 50A from the BtoB when I'm driving, if there's any solar at all the DC50s limits the BtoB to 25A, more for winter when there's bugger all solar 👍

    Jeff love your vids very informative quick question I have same renogy Mppt b2b charger you used here and I have also purchased the monitoring screen but I can’t find anywhere about what I should set my “desired current limit rating” to. I have 280w of solar and 2 -110 AGM batteries do I set it at 110a I have no clue any help would be appreciated. Cheers
