A reasonable panel with a good mppt will surely shoot above 20a. However, confirm your max voltage at 12v on ur cc first. Is the 150v max at 12v ?

Yes bro max v is 150v.

Maybe it is due to the dusty weather.

I just want to maximize and get like 30 amps.

I would have added another 350 watt panel but don’t know if the 40 amp CC with max vol of 150v can handle it provided I don’t exceed the 150v max voltage.

Hi House,

Happy New Year.

Please I need help with adding a single panel to a current setup.

Purpose of addition is to increase charge Amps, so battery can be fully charged before 12 PM and load usage during sunlight.

Current setup ( 12 volts system ) : 2 x 335 watt panel connected in parallel with Voc of 46 volt and 40 amps mppt charge controller with max voltage of 150v delivering around 20 amps.

Battery is 12v 172 amps Lifepo4

What size of single panel should be added and what panel connection is required for optimal performance?

Thanks.

Hi House,

Please would connecting my 2 x 335 watt panel in series increase amps generated beyond 20 amps as against connected in parallel ?

Using 40 amps MPPT CC.

Guys i need help


I just recently installed my solar
5kw battery
5kva inverter
100A solar charge controller
9 panels 450w

The battery charges full in the morning before 11-12 but after then, it stops charging until the next day

Why is this?
How can i solve
Which brand of charge controller?
Check the battery charge recovery settings, till your battery falls below this voltage it won’t charge.

Its about wrong panel sizing.

You are using the wrong panels on the PWM..
PWM is designed to have panel close to the battery voltage.
On a 12V system
You should use a panel with VMP of 18V max. Not a 335w panel.

If you use Panel with 18V VMP, the PWM will out shine the Toy MPPT.
Lols. This oga is funny o.
What is with the Toy MPPT remark?

Thanks any way my toy mppt is serving the purpose. cheesy cheesy grin

I would also take my post down.

Science/Technology / Re: I Have 350k, Can I Install A Single Solar Panel For My Appliances? by amicdan(m): 11:55am On Apr 21, 2024
60 AMP PWM CC

matify83:


Interesting!

A PMW because of it's low efficiency will invariably reduce every voltage to about 12V averagely.

So, 12 X 48A = 576W.

The only thing saving this charge controller going up in flames is that it can never attain its maximum power generation.

576W is too much power to connect on the 12v system.

The rating for a 60w PWM at 12V should be around 360W or less.

You are tempting fate.

Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by amicdan(m): 8:10pm On Apr 07, 2024
Foreign Used panel boss.
Did not purchase it ,the installer did and he opted for foreign used panel because he wanted actual capacity and he said he tested it.
saxwizard:


Is the panel new or used?

Did you do individual test on the panels

Your connection was done wrong.

The correct one is your second option
17.8A and 37.6V

Ok Boss, it’s not parallel ? So I need to correct it to parallel right? Thanks boss.
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by amicdan(m): 2:51pm On Apr 07, 2024
Hi everyone,

I have 2 335 watt panels with :
1. Maximum power voltage ( 37.6 V ).
2. Maximum power current ( 8.91 A ).

* If the 2 panels are connected in series,
Output = 8.91 A and 75.2 Volts

* If the 2 panels are connected in parallel,
Output = 17.82 A and 37.6 Volts

Just to confirm if the above calculation is correct?

My 60 amps PWM is delivering a maximum of 8.7 A at peak and voltage as high as 65 volts during float with the panels in parallel connection.

This is a 12V setup ( 220 amps tubular battery and battery hardly gets full in a day without usage during the day.

Just to confirm if my connection was done right.

Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by amicdan(m): 2:46pm On Feb 25, 2024
Thanks boss. Had to edit my post for more clarity.

The issue I am having is that the battery drop from 5 bars ( Full charge ) to 3 bars after 2 minutes or less on any load no matter how small, then remains on on 3 bar for like 3 hours before I power down the setup.

Trippledots:


When using a PWM controller, for a 12v system, ideally your panels should not go beyond 200w per module except the distance from PV to your controller is very far.

If you want more power, then you parallel more panels of same range and make proper cable provisions for minimal voltage drop before power gets to the battery.

Recommendation:

1. Buy an MPPT controller
2. Change your panels to 200w units and parallel them, then sell of the 335w modules
3. Buy more 335w modules and parallel with existing units.

Note that apart from the total load on your system, in this case 150w, how long you run this load(s) on the battery and time of day also matters aka load profile.
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by amicdan(m): 9:57am On Feb 25, 2024
Hi House.
My charge controller drops from 5 bar ( 13.6 volts ) to 3bar ( 12.4 volts ) after full charge on a load of 150 watts within 2 minutes.

What could be the issue ? Setup was done a week ago.

Note had to charge with external intelligent 20amps charger to full bar.

This is my set up :
1. 2 x 335 watt GCL panel in series
2. 60 amp PWM Charge controller
3. 220amps Caesar tubular Battery
4. 1KVA MSW Inverter

The main issue is the battery dropping from 5 bar to 3 bar on the charge controller with 2 minutes once load is applied on the the battery.

I Just got my "POWMR" CC yesterday.
I have a 100ah battery connected to 24v pv and a pmw CC.
With a Ups connected connected to the load port of pmw.

But the new POWMR 60a said I should not connect inverter to the cc, that it can damage the Cc. Is it right?
Hi bro, what’s the cost of the CC?
