I need help understanding what/how many panels I can hook up to my solar pool pump. The previous owners ripped out the solar panels when they put the house for sale but left everything else (pump, inverter, and combiner box). Now I’m trying to hook it back up but don’t know what/how many panels I can install. The Lorentz PS600 says:
PV Input Voltage 36-72V DC, nominal
PV Max. Open Circuit 150V DC
All the stats are in the attached pics as well as the pump:
HP 0.75
Amps 10
Volts 3 x 13-45V EC PWM
Also attached is a picture of some used solar panels in the area that I’m considering picking up for this. The Voc is 36.9 so with a PV Max Open Circuit of 150V on the controller I’m guessing I can put 4 in series, but it also says PV Input Voltake 36-72V DC, nominal, what does that pertain to? Any help is appreciated.
