I would like to charge my 2 litime 12v 230ah batteries with my 2500w duel fuel generator when I don't have much solar input. Right now I have 10 hyperion 400w bifacial solar panels and I bought a victron 100v/30a smart charger. I was only able to series 2 solar panels before it said it was overloaded. As we are headed into winter months and as I don't have a lot of space for solar paneld or money to get a huge mppt. I was trying to figure out the best space.v.money.
I am in a space right now that doesn't get a lot of sun during winter and need a solution for charging the batteries. I am also unsure if I have messed up my solar panels as even with full sun hitting them I only got 400w of input. I should also mention I had tested out 50' 8awg solar extension cables.
I am just learning with my first solar set up and would like alternate solutions and tips to get through the winter. I know my rv runs about 400w to power on normal circumstances and I am running my 2500w generator I would like to make the most by charging the batteries.
