I am a newbie to this so I can easily be bashed but I wanted to share what I found out today.
I had ordered 4- 445 watt panels for AltE. Bi Facial because I am in a cold snowy area at about 47 degrees latitude.
I hooked up two panels today at my shop to my midnight solar classic 150 and a 24 volt 300 ah bank of lithium to do a test run.
The panels where tilted up against a garage door. It was cloudy and at first about 1 hour before solar noon I had started at about 500 watts.
The sun peaked out for about an hour and I checked at solar noon to see 1205 watts coming in and 44.2 amps out to batteries????? Now I am worried that my charge controller may not handle them???? I have 4 to hook up on site. It is cold today about 8F. Hope they do good but do not over power my controller/??? Anyone have experience to share on this type of situation?
Thanks!!!!!
