Hello.
Just looking for some help with my proposed setup.
I've decided to use 2, foldable panel arrays to recharge the vehicle mounted lithium batteries in my camper.
I'm wondering about the physical connection of the two arrays and MPPT controllers.
Can I simply get a Y cable and plug 1 array into 1 part of the cable, the 2nd array into the 2nd part of the cable & the other connection into the input of an MPPT controller? Will that work?
Or do MPPT controllers have multiple inputs? so I wouldn't need a Y cable? Or do I need two MPPT controllers?
Sometimes I'll only need 1 array to recharge with, other times I'll need both, so being able to simply plug & unplug will make that easy.
I'm thinking of using 2 x 170Ah Renogy lithium batteries in parallel and 1 x Renogy Rover Elite 40A MPPT controller.
The Renogy battery says it has a maximum charge current rating of 85A.
The panels have a Voc of 22.3V and Isc of 14.62A
Thanks for any help & suggestions.
