Sorry, I missed this post--And it is a bit difficult to give "an answer" without some clarifications and such. I am guessing that the original poster FF64 and OP are different posters? Anyw…1 · -
Re: small system design
The first problem is that your Vmp~36 volt panels are "not a match" for PWM controller running on a 12 volt battery bank. Think of it like driving a car in 4th gear up a hill at 20 miles pe…1 · -
Re: Cable AWG Help!!
Jim is correct about not trusting the lighter socket... For my small USB converters, many times the plug pushes itself out of the socket and powers down. Most are limited to 10 amps (fused) @ 12 volt…1 · -
Re: Cable AWG Help!!
Heavier cable will be fine. It does let you harvest more power... But copper is expensive too, so going for less than 1% drop is usually not cost effective--Just get a second solar panel and parallel…1 · -
Re: Cable AWG Help!!
Your panek Imp (current maximum power) should be round 5.71 amps. Let's try 15 feet with 14 AWG cable: https://www.calculator.net/voltage-drop-calculator.html?material=copper&wiresize=8.286&…1 ·
