    Dual Victrons and panels in series to much voltage.

    So I've got (6) 445 solar panels, they are all currently in series parallel combination of 2 panels for a total of 3 strings. They are currently all running into a Victron 150/100 CC, 3 panels will max out the CC as far as amp output goes so I've ordered a 2nd 150/100 to help with my winter...

    Max charging amps for bigger banks

    Good stuff, thanks for the info to David's page, I'd never heard of him before. I have everything ran through buss bars on my sailboat so it makes sense now (duh). What is the reference you use 0.5C and 0.25C can you expand on that a little as I'm not familiar with it? Thanks again.

    Single pole mount for 6 or 8 panel array

    Single pole is the only option currently, I can and have planned cable stays for it. I will add its temporary for a year of so until my new house is built then a much bigger array will be mounted on top of it, until then, this is it.

    Single pole mount for 6 or 8 panel array

    Good afternoon all. I'm currently trying to find a top of pole mount for my array, currently (6) 445 CS panels but may move up to 8 before mounting. Its a single wooden pole and its needs to be tall (25ish feet) to reach the sun in the winter as my property is covered in Ponderosa pines. I'm...
