If you were able to understand the topic, you would have realized that we were speaking about small OFF-GRID situations.Simply amazing. I guess all the solar panels that are on commercial solar farms should convert all their MPPT based microinverter technology to PWM as well? Just ridiculous!
The OP was asking about higher voltage panels and he is buying 1000W of higher voltage panels...LOL...who is off topic here? You might just want to stop now.If you were able to understand the topic, you would have realized that we were speaking about small OFF-GRID situations.
There is no doubt that ON-GRID MPPT is the way to go. Always.
Low Power OFF-GRID is just very different and which approach is the best depends on a LOT of parameters.

What the H are you talking about? When did I mention Solar farms?Really?
"I see several voltage on solar panels, such as 12v/37v/48v. Do I have to buy 12v solar panels if I have 12v batteries...
Does that sound like the industrial solar farms you argued with?
As a new member you ought to change your mindset. Don't mind to answer: i am ignoring you from now on.
Well, I just pulled the Rated Power: 250W
So I have the tracer 40, putting 400W 24V. Probably going to add 2 more 100W panels. Ratings are good, stated overpanel capacity- fine. Happy.EPEVER 40A MPPT

EPEVER Tracer 60A (I think I'll end up with this
Do any of you see errors or blunders in my plan?
Thanks in advance, vw
Your plan tells nothing about your location and what you intend to do with the power.Do any of you see errors or blunders in my plan?
I just pulled the trigger and ordered 16 of the $50 SatTan panels that Will tested as "pretty good"
I also need a wifi modules so I can see how the system is running from "anywhere"
I agree...it's kinda dumb to have this as a way to communicate since it is acting as it's own WiFi connection point. That means you have to change to your phone/tablet to this new WiFi port every time you want to use it. You want something with a Bluetooth connection.I bought a few singlets off a pallet that appear to the same as the Santan. They are working great. I run 3 of them on the epever 40A and would use the 60A for 4.
That's not what the epever wifi module does, AFAIK. My understanding is it'sa direct device to device wifi connection, not a routable connection you can see from the internet. Note that the manual (such as it is) specifies "Communication distance up to 50m". You might need to roll your own microwebserver or uploader using a Pi talking to the controller or something.
I chose the BT version because it doesn't require you to drop your wifi connection to establish adhoc with the device.
Other BT/wifi modules (Victron, etc) might publish their info directly with a dinky webserver or upload to somewhere publicly visible; dunno. Those owners will need to chime in.
