Hi all!
I've gotten the components for William's 24v system. I'm trying to get a "real world" max of what i can add, solar panel wise.
I'm trying to figure out how many solar panels I can hook up to the system, given the panels i've chosen to go with.
I have the "EPEVER MPPT Solar Charge Controller 40A 150V PV Solar Panel Controller" recommended. The specs say:
I choose this panel, and have 2 of them: BougeRV 170 Watts Solar Panel, 12 Volts Monocrystalline Solar Cell
Their specs are
Or, does the the current from the 12 panels make me hit a different limit, like the 40A waiting of the charge controller?
Sorry for such a basic question, but i am trying to understand the terminology.
much thanks,
-eric

I have the "EPEVER MPPT Solar Charge Controller 40A 150V PV Solar Panel Controller" recommended. The specs say:
- Max PV Open Circuit Voltage: 150V / 138V
- Max PV Input Power: 520W (12v battery) / 1040W (24v battery)
I choose this panel, and have 2 of them: BougeRV 170 Watts Solar Panel, 12 Volts Monocrystalline Solar Cell
Their specs are
- Max. power voltage(Vmp): 19.01V
- Max. power current(Imp): 8.91A
- Open circuit voltage(Voc): 22.5V
- Short circuit current(Isc): 9.44A
- Series fuse rating: 15A
- Max. system voltage: 1000V
- J-Box IP Rating: IP65
