- Cables to connect the charge controller to the battery
- Cables to connect the battery to the inverter
- Cables to connect the solar panel to the charge controller
- Phillips screwdriver (large and small)
- Crescent wrench or socket wrenches
- Needle pliers will also come in handy
Step 1: Connecting the charge controller to the battery

- Two holes with PV+ and PV- … PV simply means photovoltaic. This is where we’ll connect solar later.
- The next two holes are what we’re interested in at this step: BAT+ and BAT- … this is where we’ll connect the cables from the charge controller to the battery.
- The last two holes are LOAD which we won’t cover in this blog.
Step 2: Connecting the charge controller to a solar panel

Step 3: Connecting the battery to an inverter

Step 4: Testing our setup
