Hello,
I pretty much have my solar set up ironed out.
I?m using the following components:
4 GC2 batteries for 440 ah capacity
4 100 watt flexible solar panels
Victron Energy 150volt 35 amp MPPT charge controller
My dilemma is to how to wire the panels, all 4 in series for a voltage of around 72, or do two pairs in series then wired in parallel for a 36 volt output? He controller can obviously easily handle either.
I?m thinking the higher voltage would be desired as 10 gauge wire would be plenty, most charts I?ve found are 12 gauge would be sufficient for 10 meters.
Any experience or opinions?
Thanks!
