I have 6 santan solar 240w panels 37.2v ocv 7.89amps
6 harbor freight 100w monocrystalline panels 24v ocv 6.2 amps
A morningstar 25amp mppt-25m
A epever 40amp tracer model from santan.
25 feet of pv wire. A bag of connectors. 6ga thhn wires for both cc to battery @ 5 feet already hooked up. Fans connected to load of both cc to keep cool. 12ga wire at about 25 feet to the harbor freight panels since the don't have mc4 connections.
In a temp position I've seen up to 35 amps from the 6 hf panels in the epever in a 3s1p configuration coming in about 60v . That's probably too much for cc.
I've tried 2 and 3 240w panels in series on morningstar ps-mppt-25m with its higher 120v input. This greatly exceeds the 350w max input.
So im not sure what I can really do here.
Everything is going to be ground mounted for now.
I have 3 inverters all crap. The hf Jupiter 2000w modified sine seems best.
I have 2 group 24 walmart deep cycle batteries and a group 31 that I have made a bank from. Currently I took them apart and am just using the group 31 . The others are fully charged and set aside. I was running them all low with the air conditioning. So I fully charged and equalized them till the green eye came back and set them aside. I had only 4 panels then. I've not included them since I added the 8 others
