Re: Voltage drop when plugged into charge controller? (18-19V -> 12.7V)
Stop being pedantic. This is "Solar Beginners Corner." The difference is only the voltage drop, which wouldn't be much with a 100 W panel. The OP was expecting the panel voltage to stay th…1 · -
Re: Voltage drop when plugged into charge controller? (18-19V -> 12.7V)
What's important is the current, not the voltage. A PWM controller basically act like a switch. When bulk charging, the panels are simply connected directly to the battery. The voltage you see will b…1 · -
Re: Over paneling a charge controller
RTFM? "PV Overcurrent: The controller will limit the battery charging current to the maximum battery current rating. Therefore, an over-sized solar array will not operate at peak power."1 · -
Re: Florida HOA denies solar panel installation even though florida law says that
It's a 10 year old thread and the OP hasn't been here since August 2019.1 · -
Re: Low current levels from solar panels under clear skies?!?
You don't mention what the battery state of charge is. The controller is only going to pass as much current as needed to maintain the charging voltage. Li batteries typically have their own controlle…1 ·
