Hello and thank you all for being here. I have learned so much reading around.
I'm trying to get my solar setup working. My components/questions are below.
I have (6) Renogy 320W panels 40.1V open circuit voltage:
https://www.renogy.com/320-watt-monocrystalline-solar-panel/
First thing I've tried was to connect a single panel to a Renogy Wanderer 30amp MPPT (https://www.renogy.com/wanderer-li-30a-pwm-charge-controller/ ) to charge a 12V deep cycle battery. That has not worked. Are the panels too high of a voltage?
I am now trying to get a panel to work with my Growatt SPF 3500 ES (https://www.growatt-inverter.com/product/growatt-spf-3500-es-off-grid/). I can get the growatt to turn on by plugging in the (4) 12V deep cycle batteries wired to put out 51V as tested with multimeter. I still can't get the single panel to charge the batteries through the Growatt. Do I need to wire up more of the panels?
Questions summarized:
1. Can I wire up one Renogy 320w panel to a MPPT and charge a 12V deep cycle battery? Or purchase a cheap Jackery/Ecoflow/Bluetti battery inverter? That would be step one and get power my 120V well pump plus a couple outlets.
2. Can I wire up all (6) of the solar panels to charge the 48V deep cycle battery bank using the Growatt all-in-one? If yes, what wiring configuration?
3. I'd like to eventually get a Ecoflow Delta Max or similar battery to back up my 120V home circuits. Will any of the battery backup all-in-one units work with my panels? (I realized after purchasing that my 230V AC growatt all-in-one inverter won't wire directly to my home panel and don't care for a transformer due to nuetral/ground bond concerns. I may also just get an inverter and lithium batteries from signature solar).
Thank you so much for reading. I've been struggling with this for over a year now and can't seem to get anything to click.
