Hi, I have a 28-foot 1990 RV, and I am going to put 8x 445W 72Split-Cell Silver Mono Solar Panel by Solarever on it, which is 3560w total.
Each of them comes with an open VOC of 50.1 and a max VMP of 41.39.
My battery is 4x Ampere Time 24V 100Ah LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Lithium Battery, Built-in 100A BMS.
I was going to go with Growatts with a 48v system, but I realized they have a minimum MPPT range of 60V and max PV open-circuit voltage of 145 VDC(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HD5XQ9T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1), which means I can't do four panels in a series.
I am concerned that this means my system won't charge on cloudy days, as the only thing I could do is two panels in serial, which is about 80V; it's barely above the required minimum voltage.
I have found "Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT Tr 250V 100 amp". Since this system can handle 250 volts, I can do four panels in series, so I should have much better charging at sunrise or cloudy days.
Can someone confirm that I am going down the right path? Thank you!
