Hi
I am trying to put together my fist 12V system, spec details attached below. I was following the tutorial by Will on this page (https://watts247.com/product/pip-1012lv-ms/?wpam_id=3). This page features the same MPPT I purchased.
The MPPT docs say "Max PV Input Voc 102V", and the solar panels say "open circuit Voltage 24.3V" (x4 panel total would be 97.2). These numbers do not seem to add up to how I think they should. I was expecting a panel total around 84 and a MPPT Voc at 145 (maybe my MPPT and the one in the video are not the same, or I am not taking something(s) into consideration).
My question is can I safely run 4 12V 100W panels on this MPPT unit, and if not is there an easy fix (reduce panels, swap out the MPPT)?
any help or advice appreciated.
thanks
