Hi all
I have a Victron MPPT 100/50 which I believe maxes out at 700 watts of solar input. I had originally installed 5x175 watt panels in series but then disconnected one of the panels because it exceeded the 700watts. I’ve been using this system now for almost a year and I have yet to be in a situation where we’re getting the full 700watts from the four panels and often we’re getting quiet a bit lower (400-500 watts).
My question is, can I safely hook the fifth panel back in to the series to increase my solar potential?
