    Mismatch panels, use an extra charge controller or go over ISC by 0.2 amps?

    Lots of good information and feedback provided. Thank you everyone. From what I gather I would be OK to add another 4 like panels and have slightly over limit ISC of 25.2 provided I dont accidentally reverse polarity. With that said I would like to have more information to weigh this option...

    Mismatch panels, use an extra charge controller or go over ISC by 0.2 amps?

    Can I not go to above the watts provided the total ISC is below 25A? I understand its only ever going to charge at 700watts but a 700 watt array is never going to produce that much at any given time. If soo....is it best to run 3 strings of ecoflow panels and 1 string of rich solar panels? Or...

    Mismatch panels, use an extra charge controller or go over ISC by 0.2 amps?

    Yes. TBH it seems odd to me as well. Here is the message I sent them and the response I got. ‐‐--------------------- Me: If I stay under recommended voltage how much can I overpanel this system? I was considering doing either 5 or 6 parrallell strings of 2 100 watt panels each. Would...

    Mismatch panels, use an extra charge controller or go over ISC by 0.2 amps?

    It just says the maximum charging current is 25amps. I had assumed that the MPP would be self limiting but I contacted MPP explaing my intentions to over panel. They responded and advised me that the panels had to stay within voltage as well as the 25amp ISC limit. Is it possible they are...

    Mismatch panels, use an extra charge controller or go over ISC by 0.2 amps?

    I have an MPP solar LV2724 Max voltage is 60 volts Max ISC is 25 amps Currently I have 2 parallel strings of 2 100w Ecoflow rigid panels each I would like to double up on my panels but the problem is that the ISC of these panels is 6.3. 6.3 amps x 4 strings = 25.2 short ciruit amps To my...

    24v bank shows mostly full at only 25.6v?

    I have 2 12v weize 100ah batteries connected to an MPP Solar LV2724. Everything is brand new. I charged each battery fully, paralled them for over 24 hours than connected them in series. I plugged this bank to the MPP and programmed the MPP to the battery parameters listed in the weize manual...

    Charging new 12v batteries with 24v all in one?

    Update. I couldnt find sufficient information to move forward comfortably soo I went ahead and bought a 12 volt smart battery charger. This will eliminate any questions or concerns about adding new batteries to the system in the future as I can charge them individually

    Charging new 12v batteries with 24v all in one?

    I am a beginner building a small solar system to take some of my more critical household loads off grid. This will include two small chest freezers, an internet router, a security system and some lights. I have a new MPP Solar LV2724-MR and 2 new Weize 100ah 12v LifePo4 Batteries. The manual...
