Found these used at $40 per. They are 150+mi away so I asked whether performance tested. Seller says they must be 90% Voc or greater and are marked on the back. I've never gone used so a bit skeptical about it all.
Canadian Solar CS6P-250PX (no longer available new but $1000+ when they were)
64.5 x 39"
Pmax 250w
Vmp 30.1v
Imp 8.3a
Voc 37.2v
Isc 8.87a
Are these a good candidate for an RV application?
I have a 5th wheel with 450ah of LA batteries (that I'm likely to upgrade to LiPo @ 560ah). SCC - Blue Sky 3000i - 12 VOLT 30/22 AMP. It's likely I'd have to replace/upgrade my SCC to allow for 1kw+ of solar to meet the 2x ratio. (Waiting for the frost to clear so I can determine what specs are on the 2 panels on the 5er right now - but it isn't enough - power hungry nighttime O2 concentrator, not CPAP.) Maybe I can leave the existing panels in their current configuration, add a second SCC for any additional panels I might add. There's plenty of real estate for 2 of these, maybe more.
I'm also trying to find enough real estate on top of my pickup camper for a couple of these but that's looking doubtful, unless a rack can be used.
Soon to be running 280ah LiPo so want 400-500w of solar. Minimal load on this system with only DC usage and no inverter.
