I have 2 racks of 6, 100w mono panels which have been in use for about 1 year for off-grid emergency power during outages when the gas generator is off at night. . I use a Renogy 3000w PSW 12v Inverter for AC power. It draws 2.5amps under no load. All this is connected to the main load center through a commercial 10-circuit 30A transfer switch with watt meters.
The panel racks are each wired 3s2p which gives me the turn on voltage for the MPPT Charge controllers in the lower sunlight of Western Oregon.
I want to change from 12v to 24v battery setup and will have to replace the currently installed inverter with a 24v model. This will cut the current to the inverter in half.
What would be the best configuration for the panels for 24vdc? It is currently 3s2p for the 12v system. The 100w panels are rated at
I have also be looking at the inverter listed below on Amazon. Do any of you have any problems or reservations against using on of this brand/model?
Thank for any experience or knowledge you would like to pass along.
