Hi all
I’m new to the forum and new to solar as well so please forgive my lack of knowledge at this point. Straight Jack’n Newb!
I currently have an Rv with a Zamp 30a CC with a single 170w panel on the roof with the 3 port panel connector.
This is all working fine and dandy but I have come into 2 more panels And want to tie these into to the 2 remaining ports up on the roof.
my problem is this, I don’t know if this CC can support these 2 additional panels. The CC says it can support up to 510w of panels on the 3 connection port.
heres where it’s tricky for me... The 2 new panels are mis-matched (180w and 160w) but all together with the 170w it equals 510w right?
Can the Zamp 30a handle these differences? It is a PWM CC. I just can’t figure it out looking at the panel specs blows my mind as I am unable to determine what is the voltage and current numbers I’m to use for calculating the 3 panels for the CC. I have all 3 spec sheets to attach for the panels.
What numbers on the spec sheets and how do I calculate them to see if they work with the CC? Last thing I want is to burn something up.
