Solar panel voltage with solar generator

[tmorrgold]

I have a 250 watt solar panel with open circuit voltage of 37.6. I am looking at getting a portable solar generator and am confused by statements about being able to use a 12 or 24-volt panel with this or that generator.

Can anyone help with suggestions of what size solar generator I can use with my panel?

Take a look at the specs for any generator and make sure it’s “max Voc” (maximum open current voltage) exceeds your panels’ max Voc. this one, for example, can handle 55 volts: https://cuttingedgepower.com/produc...hLl0GwDPfo39z5nlTAYPdo3wUBXaXFMQaAtBcEALw_wcB
