Welcome to the forum @Lois It would be better to start a new discussion relevant to your requirements rather than piggybacking on an old thread. Include details such as the pump voltage, run time etc…1 · -
Re: Using 2 MPPT controllers is cheaper?
Two controllers would afford some redundancy and allow for different array orientations, both advantages.1 · -
Re: Is there an advantage if power drawn is from two strings instead of one?
@Wbuffetjr1 Be very careful with theroritic one dimensional calculations, lead acid batteries need to be fully charged on a regular basis. The array needs to be sized correctly to recover the dischar…1 ·
