what type of connections are needed e.g cables also what size inverter would you need??

After receiving GudCraft I found it to be very poorl designed and returned it for a full refund

Other than a solar panel(s), you will need a charge controller, battery bank and an AC inverter. If you can run your lights and electronics on DC battery power, then an inverter would not be needed.Misc. wiring, fuses and battery disconnect would also be needed. Web sources like <homepower.com> would be great sources of information on setting up a small system.

May make sure you use disconnect box, plug inverter into walk - then connect panels. I think there is a fuse if you take off back cover. I am new to this and mine works great. Watch youtube videos - they helped me out. Also Missouri solar and wind has a lot of good videos on how to hook up

I would wire them as Anthony Gomes answered. Keep in mind the high current draw possible with a fully loaded 2000 watt inverter on the 12VDC input side. Use the shortest cables possible, and large enough to handle the high current, with good quality, secure connections.

Any standard power supply will fit. You will need to determine your overall system requirements before you decide what wattage you will need.

need 20 amps . Not sure on inverter . And you need a heavy.duty extension if you use one.

You will need a marine (car size) battery or batteries to hook it up to and an inverter (I have a 450 watt inverter) that converts battery power (DC) to household current (AC). Very few companies sell these two parts with their kits because of weight (the battery) and individual preferences for inverters that come in small to very high watt capability. I not only liked the 30 watt panel I bought from Tektrum, but I ordered a 40 watt kit from them a few weeks later and they delivered each time in just 3 days. Best wishes. Ann C.

Yes just find out how much amps and watts it uses and buy a inverter that's enough for it.

If this is an isolated unit you will need batteries and the proper cables. I daisy chained two 12v car batteries (720 CCA) together. I used 12 gage stranded wire (positive and negative) designed for car audio and soldiered the ends. I squared the ends soldered ends so they would fit properly into the solar charge controller. If you want AC power as I did I ran two more 12 gage wires (positive and negative) for the inverter. I hooked up a 1200 watt power inverter with 12v USB and other power options. This is an isolated 120v AC system and will run several lights, TV, radio, etc.

It depends on your setup. The inverter has overcurrent protection of its own. You will need to size the fuse or breaker for the expected maximum load to be drawn through the wire and the wire size. The overcurrent device you install here is intended to protect the wire. For my setup, I used a #4 wire feeding a BESTEK 1000w/1200w 12v to 110v Inverter Power Supply MRI10011-1, so I installed a 100amp DC breaker/switch. For a fuse, I would install the same size for the same setup. I also have a breaker on the input to the charge regulator, but that's sized for the max current expected there and the wire size (20 amps and a #10 wire). As stated by some others here, it all depends on your setup. It depends on your setup. The inverter has overcurrent protection of its own.

Hi Martin! On the DC side, you may install a solar module directly to the microinverter (using the MC4 type connectors). However, to connect the microinverter to a subpanel or nearest junction box, trunk cable will be needed. The microinverter sends AC power directly into the trunk cable using the Enphase trunk cable connectors. See below pic for details: http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CAcQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cleanenergybrands.com%2Fshoppingcart%2Fproducts%2FEnphase-ET17%25252d208%25252d240-208VAC-240-Cable-Drops-Landscape-NO-Install-Kit-.html&ei=k-Q2Vc-FHoSdsAWenoGQDg&bvm=bv.91071109,d.cWc&psig=AFQjCNFSHJWJ0ppJhmhkhDvuD8sNC_wMUQ&ust=1429747217289816 And this installation manual: http://enphase.com/global/files/M250-Installation-and-Operation-Manual-60-Hz.pdf Hope this helps!

You will need to know the AMP draw for the motor and then the size of your inverter plus the amp/hour of the batteries. It's less about the panels and more about how many times you use the gate and the size of the batteries

You will need to buy the power supply separately. Be sure you purchase one of correct voltage and amperage.

Greg:I am very pleased with the inverter I have. I have the 24volt unit and my panels are wired, two in series to get 24 volt, back to trunkline to the inverter and then to grid. This utilises all the voltage they put out. If you are connecting to batteries your charger will hold the panels at 12volts and you will need wire up for 12 volt.calvinm@galaxycable.net

All you are looking at with item is solar panel and charge regulator. Only fusing you need in this area is at the charge controller 12 volt output for 12v DC lighting (if used). Don't forget to buy the panel mounting brackets. The inverter that I am assuming you are buying separately has fusing built into it.

You would need a 12v power converter and a 12v inverter and you'll have the modified sinewave (60hz)

I used the terminal blocks off the old inverter that I was replacing . You should be able to purchase grounding lugs with 2/0 connections and 1/4" or 5/16" size holes to convert over. I am very happy with the inverter. It is able to do what it says. Just got back from my camp over the weekend that is off grid, just solar 12V. My friends wife ran a blender to make a drink while we had all are lights and a tv with a dish setup all at once. We wanted to see if it would all run and it did . Had others that do not come close. Good luck
