Re: Parallel PWM controllers
Basically, connect one controller plus 1/2 of the array (fix from "stay" to array) to the low 48 volt bank. And the second controller and array to the high bank. Make sure that the charge c…1 · -
Re: 12v DC wind turbine - and connecting straight to 2 large 12v batteries.
OK... Lots of questions there. If you put a charging source across the 12 volt segment of a 48 volt battery bank--You will simply charge just that segment of cells (assuming that both the + and - cha…1 · -
Re: Raising the Vmp Voltage of Solar Panels to match the charge controller.
Short answer... For your setup (as is), you need Vmp-array ~ 35-39 volts or so to charge your 24 volt battery bank (assume lead acid batteries)... The panels you have right now are Vmp~30 volts and, …1 · -
Re: Pre-wiring for new construction
The Classic charge controller, for all the world, acts like a variable transformer... It takes "high voltage/low current" from the solar array and "down converts" (with ~95% effic…1 · -
Re: newbie solar truck camper setup
* DC compressors--Should be designed for ~10 amps maximum (fuse rating for US lighter sockets--typically). If you have heavier wiring+larger breaker+better connectors, less voltage drop on wiring, so…1 ·
