I was just told by a guy running a solar booth at a Self-sustainability Expo this past weekend that I should not have hooked up my 8 100w panels in series because I have a PWM charge controller. As I mentioned in another thread, I have a 60amp PWM charge controller from Eco-worthy. The controller will handle up to 1800w under a 24v system like what I have set up. The owners manual says Max Solar energy input voltage <55v. Max voltage at the battery end <34v. My panels are 12v each and they also say VOC: 21.6v. Not sure if that's relevant.
The guy I talked to said I probably already messed up my charge controller. How would I know if its ruined? There is nothing different showing on the display now than from the day I hooked the system up, and there are no error codes.
Thanks in advance for any help!
