    Trying to pick a solar panel

    Went ahead and went with 8 LG panels, Neon H: LG455N2W-E6 rated to output 90% after 25 years.

    https://diysolarforum.com/threads/half-cell-logic.46436/ yeah think eggo says the same thing here.

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    Exactly. What I'm thinking, which is why it sounded nice, I'll get clouds and sometimes tree in the late evening

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    Correct but the voltage drops and current is the same, so overall wattage would be less. But that cell has a diode so it's not a complete waste it's kinda excluded from the circuit

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    Hmm I'm not sure about this if the half cells have diodes it should change performance ? just have a voltage drop but if my PV is still within spec of my SCC it should be fine..?

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    That's just what I've seen works more efficiently in sun and shade why you say this? Wish I got rec alpha when I found them I was learning still

    weird as shit, never seen this stuff. ill probably stay away from bi-facial. looks really good though.

    pretty sure they used ionized gases, not sure tho, thanks for the randomness

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    so its the same amount of cells just the backsheet is white? curious because i was worried it was more cells and Voc could increase. great news if not. /edit the Theoretical max power increases but not the Voc?

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    this is what attracted me more aswell. could hit my max and still have plenty of room in my VOC for cold. i have literally a DECK above my stationary RV, it has a LOT of room. i could do anything, lay them flat, or brace them at an angle. [probably around 22-23%]

    can destroy it with that, up in smoke... lol over voltage, and it aint even cold yet!!!

    i could see how this happens.. jesus would jack daniels. :ROFLMAO:

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    450v max operating and 18A for the mppt range. i think the arrangement for the Canadian solar is incapable of maxing out my mppt ;)

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    thanks, i have a month or so before i feel like i need to buy some, so i will linger for an opportunity to get the ones i like or find some sort of deal. thanks a lot for the inputs everyone.

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    45±2℃ VS 42 ± 3°C which one is better? also what other specs should i compare? still leaning towards solarever but not much input.. [would it be OK to wire 5S2P with solarever? saw it say 20A max] /edit id prefer to do them all in one string. im just curious. thanks for any input!

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    Not only more wattage but less voc with solarever perc cells. Another plus for me.

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    So no one can recommend solarever brand over Canadian solar?? Am I right that the PERC cells would be more optimal in the solarever brand.

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    Yes I need normally 2k watts, so im going for a 4k panel set up. I have a deck above my stationary rv plenty of space.

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    I probably am but that's because I wanted some clarity on the panels, I don't even know what to compare besides a few of the specs.

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    So lets say I have them connected in series, they all give similar voltage but what if ones very low in amps, this won't cause any issues? The voltage is about all I can compare.

    Maybe someone can speak up and confirm from experience

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    Also I suppose no one knows what wiring they use.. copper or aluminum

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    My point was they may provide adequate wattage when first tested, but performing at operating Temps might provide much less wattage when going for a used panel.

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    I've been leaning towards solarever because the cells are PERC.. looking for advice I suppose, not sure if this is correct

    What's the difference between Canadian solar and solarever panels?
  27. E

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    Thanks for the recommendation, I worry about used panels not performing as well at operating temperatures here in Texas If I pulled them out of storage they would test good because cold and I could have issues when they're hot

    Trying to pick a solar panel

    I plan on getting two eg4 48v batteries and a 6500ex AIO unit. I live in Texas where it gets hot as 115 and cold as 10 degrees F. I'm trying to find solar panels that are new or open box condition. So far I've been looking to find Mono crystalline and half cells with at least 9 bb, anything...

    EG4 6500 EX-48 at high altitude or alternatives

    Ahh okay thanks for clarification, I was thinking it was the eg4 6500ex. I'm considering buying that 6500ex.

    EG4 6500 EX-48 at high altitude or alternatives

    Sorry for my ignorance how do I get the 10% discount

    EG4 6500ex Max PV output 6.8k instead of 8k

    i believe it means they can both operate and output to the same battery bank. in theory they would be in parallel when connected to the same battery. /edit meaning you can just use one, or both of them. [also none if you don't even have PV and just connect to the grid]

    REC Alpha Pure Solar Panels REC395AA

    are these good panels? i was considering them and they looked very high quality, just wasnt able to find much reviews about them. thanks :) edit: i live in the texas heat, it can get down to 10 degrees F in winter.

    Connecting more than one charge controller to the same battery bank ?

    If the equalization is only limited to one or they are synced it shouldn't be an issue. If you're filling up a tub of water, the other hose doesn't know that the other hose is also on. They fill up the tub. And turn off when full
