I will pass this on to my team. TY!

Never heard of it - I will look it up! Ty

This seems to be the consensus. Would a boost converter help?

We discussed both of those things, and that may be the only option. We are CS and chemistry teachers, so electrical is a bit out of our field.

I know capacitors are banned. It's capacitors and anything that stores power can't be used.

Pretty much that we just can't add any power storage except the two backup AA batteries - they only use the batteries if it is overcast.

Hey guys, I am the sponsor for my schools solar sprint team. It is a tiny solar panel, attached to a tiny DC motor which moves a car. The panel and motor pieces are set, but we were wondering if there would be a way to keep the voltage up higher and maybe increase speed. Not sure if this is...

Hey guys, I have a LV6048 with 4 100ah LiTime and a 16s 100aH system both at 48 volts. I took the LiTimes off, because I needed to test something else. Last night, I plugged in my EV and went to bed - the 16s was around 54% charged. I woke up and the truck was at 1%. I walked outside and the...

I found that online.

This is how this would work? How big should each fuse be?

Ok, so to do 12 I would need 4 strings of 3 panels in series? Then all 4 wire pairs into a combiner box?

Voc- 40.25 Vmp- 33.05 Imp-9.38 Does it give a temperature coefficient? Temperature Coefficient Isc %/K 0.03 Temperature Coefficient Voc %/K -0.30 Temperature Coefficient Pmax %/K -0.38 Birmingham, AL

Ok, I am looking at 10 310w panels. I can wire them in series for 100v and 40.25a. The panels have a series fuse of 15 and a short circuit current of 9.93. If I am understanding correctly because my Isc is below my series fuse amperage I do not need to fuse? Or, am I missing something...

Ok, this is a serious question - would 8 panels be enough? I can buy 8 or 16. I just want to push the inverter as far as I can.

Ok, so 4 2s2p into the combiner box and then into 2 wire pairs - 1 into each input?
