Hi, sorry to bother all, complete novice (reading a lot to try and educate self), question I hope I can get some support with.
Small workshop/ shed.
System that was working-
Two 100w renogy compact panels, wired in parallel to eco worthy 30 charge controller (in line switch/ fuse).
Subsequently wired to two new 50 lifepo ecoworthy batteries wired in parallel with battery monitor and 2000w sine wave inverter (fused) also attached.
All was working fine. Powering a small 12v fridge, drills etc and eco flow battery to bring ‘energy into house’.
Added two more of same panels. Wired as below (sorry if easier way to describe).
+ve from controller to panel 1, -ve to panel 2’s +ve and then panel 2-ve to splitter back to controller.
And then mirrored setup with panel 3+4.
So I think I have two sets of two panels in series, then paralleled to charge controller.
I ‘think’ this then gives me a 24v system with 10a??
When I flick the switch from panels to controller I get 14v ish showing on screen. I noted settings are still in 12v, so changed the controller setting to 24v, which then displayed e01 error message ‘low battery’.
Am I doing something daft?! Should I wire the panels differently, do I even make sense?
Many thanks for any consideration to responding. Much obliged.
Pictures can be added if useful.
