Re: Mixing Voltages
If you really need/want the extra power from 2 extra panels, IMHO the way to do it would be to wire them separately via a PWM controller to the bank. ~60Vmp is a bit low for mppt, but should be mostl…1 · -
Re: Can I use a 48V battery to pull power from on a 12V battery solar system?
I wouldn't recommend doing it directly. With that much potential difference, the full 48v bank at ~51v vs reasonable charging voltage of ~14.5v. Unlike a solar panel with a Vmp of ~18v, a battery ban…1 ·
