two separate panel/controller to one common battery bank

Posts: 2,511 admin
I have two separate solar panel/controller systems of which the 50watt panel I use to charge my fishing motor battery separate from the 125watt panel/30 amp Trace controller I use for the rv. When not in use can I clamp the 50 amp panel/6a controller to the battery bank which I use for the 125 panel system. The battery bank is 225 ah deep cycle batterys. Thanks

    Not sure what the question is here - and I assume that you mean 50 watt and 125 watt, not 50 amp panels.

    If you just want to know if you can do, then yes.

    Yes , I meant watt, and I think you understand the two separate systems to one common battery bank. Basically I would clamp the smaller panel through its own controller to the battery bank. I have 15 amp fuse from battery to each controller. Thank you guys. This site is awesome!!!!

    as was said you can do that as long as it is only the battery that is kept in common to the 2 separate systems meaning don't share the pvs to the 2 controllers and then back to the shared battery.
