Hello world of solar power and hello everyone.
I'm a beginner and very non tech incline, stepping into the world of solar power.
I'm here to seek your guidance and recommendations.
My rig consisted of 2 of these PV panels, rated at 150 W each. So 300 W combined.
They are connected to this inexpensive charge controller, rated at 30 A.
I use this rig to charge the 30000 mAh ELOOP (E29) Powerbank via USB cable.
The power bank could be charged fully in about a week.
I only have direct sunlight during the afternoon since the panels are setup vertically in door against my apartment glass window.
During its' peak hours I noticed the charge controller gets a bit hot.
I plan to move the PVs outside soon, but they will have to still be installed vertically at the balcony due to space constraints. I expect the absence of glass window would help increase the charging performance.
My big question here is, considering all the equipment with specifications as detailed. Are they optimal for the use case being mentioned?
Are there any fatal flaws, bottle necks, short comings that could be improved? As an unenlightened, what I see is the rig could charge my power bank fine, and free energy is great. But I still want to know if there's anything I could do to improve?
Thank you so much.
