Re: Does ground wire need to be same gauge as power conductors?
With 400 volts front the 13 panels in series, the amperage would be low I'm guessing around 9 amps, using these figures with a 250 foot run, the 4awg will result in a volt drop of 0.26%, even double …1 · -

Re: Is charge controller Max input voltage reliant on battery voltage for this controller?
Current is inversely proportional to voltage, at 12V nominal the maximum panel wattage would be calculated by multiplying voltage by current , 12V × 20A =240 W, if the same current is used at double …1 · -
Re: HELP! I'm in Africa and trying to survive with what I have.
You cannot center tap a 24V system, it will draw the tapped batteries down and the 24V charger will be unable to charge the depleted ones. Choose a single voltage, say 24V since you have the chargers…1 ·
