Hey guys,
I am wondering if my maths is correct. I have a Victron 100/50 charge controller in a 24v configuration. It’s max PV input voltage is 100v and max PV short circuit current 60A. 1400w nominal PV power for 24v.
I am eyeing 4 APTOS 370w byfacial panels (DNA-120-BF26-370W) in a 2s 2p configuration. The panel specs are 370w, open circuit VOC 41.4v and short circuit current 11.26. A theoretical 1480w max.
So my math is two sets of panels in parallel [11.26 + 11.26] 22.52a + [11.26 + 11.26] 22.52a then joint them in series which [41.4v x 2] 82.8v.
The 22.52a is below the 60a max for CC and the 82.8v is below the 100v max for the CC![Thinking face :thinking: 🤔](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f914.png)
This seems to fit with in the specs of charge controller. Am I missing something here. Am I calculating correctly. Most importantly can this work safely. FYI in live in the tropics warm to hot weather all year round, so cold weather is not a factor.
