W have on the roof 3 RICH SOLAR 170 Watt 12 Volt Moncrystalline Solar Panels connected in SERIES. I want to add one more panel to have total 680W. Probably I'll never hit that maximum Watts. 80% is 544W.
Question is how to connect 4 panels, to charge my 2 Battle Born batteries (12V system.)
a. All in Series
b. 2+2 in series and parallel
I'm asking because I have EPEVER MPPT Solar Charge Controller 40A 150V PV . Specs are:
40A MPPT Charge Controller Nominal System Voltage: 12V, 24V
Rated Charge Current: 40A
Max PV Open Circuit Voltage: 150V / 138V
Max PV Input Power: 520W (12v battery)
Panel specs:
