    How much do PV voltage change

    If a solar panel has 41 VoC and 34 Vmp what sort of voltages do you get of it through the day? I ask because I'm building a system that will likely be 160VoC/136Vmp (4 of above in series) on a controller with mppt range of 120-450v Is it safe to say the panels will reliably output over 30v...

    What happens when PV voltage is lower than MPPT Range?

    if i connect 2 40v panels in series to a hybrid inverter when the "MPPT Range" is 120~450V what happens? Do i need to hit 120v to even work, or is just an optimal zone? This is from a 24v hybrid inverter. Looking to charge a 24v battery with 2x 460w panels which in series won't reach the...

    Did anyone ordered the "newer" EVE 280AH cells?

    Apparently, they're made out of the factory without threads/terminals, just with a weld spot and claims they weld studs on them? Did anyone order these? https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/New-Version-Genuine-Grade-A-EVE_1600191410096.html

    Cheapo ebay inverters and general advice for a first timer

    Are these cheapo "all in one" charge controllers any good? (more leaning into the 48v setup , also as its also mppt controller, not pwm) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5KVA-Solar-Inverter-48V-230V-Pure-Sine-Wave-Off-Grid-Built-in-80A-MPPT-Charger/353284923580...
