Howdy,
If I buy 5 of the Trina 410w panels, I would need to put 3 on one SCC and 2 on another, each tied to a 48v bank.
Originally I contemplated a 100A SCC but now that I see the panel specs, it seems unnecessary to be anywhere near that much rating.
If I take the first 3 panels I can be at around 150v, or I can put two of them in parallel for around 100v. The other 2 panels would also be around 100v in series.
Given this nominal requirement for each SCC, it seems more logical to only buy a 30A - 40A SCC that can work with a 48v battery.
Rated Power Output 410
Voltage (VOC) 51.2V
Sound right so far?
Could I not simply use something less expensive like this Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150V 35 amp 12/24/36/48-Volt Solar Charge Controller ?
