Penuelseun:@Penuelseun thanks for your prompt response. I have 3pcs of 12v 200amps battery. I know a 24v system would do me a lot of good... But the challenge at the moment is getting a 24v inverter to replace the existing 12v...not yet ready for the expense. I just bought the panels and need some financial break before tackling the inverter upgrade head-on. Once again thanks, I sincerely appreciate your contribution. |

Six 200watts panels, three 200ah batteries. What sort of controller are your using? From advise given mewhen I asked an almost similar question, if he has a mppt controller whose capacity can accommodate the load, cant he go series with the panels and push it into the 12v inverter. My only concern is will the panels take the three batteries home ie charge them to full. Alternatively, cant he connect 4 of the panels and leave two in storage till he gets 24v inverter? But again, batteries will not be charged fully. |

tchijioke:If your system is 12V, then your only option is to parallel the batteries and same with the panels, the next question should be "all 3 batteries?" or "all six panels?". |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ojeysky(m): 5:17pm On Oct 19, 2019 |
dragnet: Ditto! this is where I got confused as well. I have 4 12v batteries and I want to connect them in the best possible way for a 24v setup |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by tchijioke: 6:53pm On Oct 19, 2019 |
Topmost11:The controller is 40 amps mppt |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by tchijioke: 6:57pm On Oct 19, 2019 |
dragnet: If I setup the 6 panels is parallel won't the current exceed the controllers 40amps max on a very sunny day. |

[quote author=Penuelseun post=83288279][/quote] Thanks for the technical support. With this configuration the output should be 48v 15.33amps...its within the controllers range... My other concern is that the controllers max watt for a 12v bank is 550watt, won't it be an issue since that is the only parameter that seems out of place. Thanks |

I need a solar setup to carry the following loads Xbox gaming console. Tv decoder 2 -40inch tv (dont mind using 1 at a time). Fan Bulbs Deep freezer maybe Please mention me on any of my topics and we will follow up from there. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Penuelseun(m): 4:34am On Oct 20, 2019 |
tchijioke:With the configuration, the panel output will be around 70v 30amps, if your cc mppt function come into play the you should get like 65amps at 14.4vdc which your controller cannot handle, going the 24v route is your best option now |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Penuelseun(m): 4:41am On Oct 20, 2019 |
tchijioke:another option you have is to buy another pwm cc(it's cheap) to use together with the mppt, then split your panels into two groups of three panels each on the two controllers, your panels should all be parallel in the two options pending when you go the 24v route |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Penuelseun(m): 4:51am On Oct 20, 2019 |
Penuelseun:the mppt option should give you like 30amps, while you should get 15amps amps from the pwm option. You can also get another mppt cc of the same type to maximize your array capacity if money is not a constraint.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Topmost11(m): 7:07am On Oct 20, 2019 |
tchijioke: That is why I asked for your cc size |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by earthrealm(m): 7:14am On Oct 20, 2019 |
Penuelseun: Errrm..this might not be a good idea, using mppt and pwm cc on same bank, it would be worse if they r different makes. There are many cheap mppt cc in the market now. Like the powmr, about 70 dollars on AliExpress. You can get 2 units of that model...they would still be useful to you in the future...or u buy 2 ultra cheap pwm as well, if you insist on pwm cc |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by dragnet: 10:24am On Oct 20, 2019 |
tchijioke: from the image you posted here, your CC can't accommodate more than two panels in series for your 12V system, you can't even go to three considering the voltage limit. So just forget all the permutations and combination till your system is 24V. What you can do is to buy two cheap pwm, then split your panels into two groups, one for each pwm. 1 Like |

Penuelseun: From the discussions and analysis, its now very clear to me that if I must use the 6 panels to achieve optimal throughput, then I must wait patiently till I upgrade to a 24v system. Warm regards 1 Like |

Pylontech batteries with Axpert vmiii inverter. This Axpert talks to the pylontech via rs485 so settings are automatic. The Pylontechs will work with any inverter that allows you set bulk and float voltages. Each battery has a built in BMS that disconnects on the set voltage to protect the batteries. 3 Likes

Trippledots: After years of experimentation at his workshop in the Cornish village of Callington, Jackson's eureka moment came when he developed a new formula for the electrolyte that was neither poisonous nor caustic. 'I've drunk it when demonstrating it to investors, so I can attest to the fact that it's harmless,' Jackson says. I don't know why, but I don't take dailymail publication serious. ![]() 1 Like |

Hi all, looking for single piece of shoto 600ah/2v battery to buy as replacement |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Israelicc: 9:58am On Oct 22, 2019 |
It looks interesting but it is already having some drawbacks. First of all, it is not rechargeable, secondly it had a short life span so once you expend it's useful life you go and get another one as replacement. That means I would always need to buy back up batteries all the time unlike the rechargeable models on ground. Let's see what the specifications will be like so we can determine energy storage and make our comparison with lithium ion that has a lifespan of 8-10years or even Lead acid that has between 3-5 years to see if its economically viable.
