Trying to learn something new every day!
Greetings All;
Now that I have my base solar system upgrade out of the way it is time to look at my panels.
My solar controller is a EPEver Tracer 4215BN this is a 40 Amp controller with the usual add-ons.
At present I have 2-55 Watt panels wired in Parallel to provide me 110 Watts at 18.0 Volts at maximum output.
My thinking was to purchase a single 110 Watt panel and wire it into the array ( Parallel) thus providing me with
220 Watts. However there is an issue it appears with dong that with a net result of one of the 55 Watt panels capacity being cut in half.
I therefor stared looking for other solutions and one being going to much larger panels in the 350 to 400 Watt range.
My question is, will these panels be fine when tied into my Tracer controller and running a 12 volt LIFePo4 battery?
Yes I know 24 volt system would be better but at present I do not have the extra cash to buy another comparable battery cell
configuration so as to make the batteries in series a 24V system.
The new large solar panels specifications are listed below:
Thank You in advance.
