Why when I hook up my solar array to my charge controller it starts smoking and I have also shorted one out ?
Answer:
Normally one charge controller. Double check your wiring on batteries and panels. They must be compatable with correct voltage and polarities, and connections on controller.
The directions are sometimes very confusing.
The energy may not be compatible.
Call the manufactorer.
You need a professional, not FunQA.com.
You may have a short in the system or you probably did not hook it up right. Check with the manufacturer and reread the manual.
Perhaps your local power company has sabotaged your system? or you need to check your wiring. Sounds like a short
the wires are crossed, or you charger isn't compatible to your solar array.
Hint : Smoking and shorting out are signs of a short circuit
Check the instructions walk through each step carefully and if needed have someone else double check your work.
