Hello everybody, noob here! In process planning my system and finding myself in a bit of a dilemma. I got a good deal for two mono 360W panels and purchased a 12v/24v 40a mppt thinking it would be suitable for a 24v battery bank in my workshop. Now, thanks to my ignorance, and impatience, I...

Thanks for the answer. Yes, 24V seemed most logical in this situation. My load will be at most some Indoor and outdoor LEDs, a chest freezer, a router and surveillance camera and charging battery driven tools. In my estimation I would need at least 300ah battery to keep those things going...

SCC. 100V. PV. Voc, 44.4 Vmpp, 36.1 Impp, 99.

Ok. I can't remember exactly how I did my estimation but I roughly calculated for, lights 4x20W=80W. Router + camera 50W. Freezer 100W. Charging tools only in daytime. Around 230W load for minimum 15 hours = 3450wh needed. Thanks for link.

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. With gauge wires you mean from panels to SCC, from SCC to battery and inverter, or all wires including from inverter to lights and such?

Thanks. But you still need thicker wire longer the distance is from panels to SCC in 12V compared to 24V? Edit: Lower voltage PV as opposed to higher voltage PV. Unfortunately I'm still a bit confused. If there's no difference running, in my case (assuming I had a 60A SCC) 720W, through the SCC...
