I have 2 different power panels, a 60w and a 100w, both on separate mppt controllers. As I never have to think about whether my battery...

Make? Fleabay. OCV 18.4v MPPV 17.8v it says in the booklet. Bullsh1t? Very possible, but thats what it says.

noelex replied to the thread Solar panels should each have their own controller?.What panels are they? The open circuit voltage (Voc) is very unlikely to be this low. You are probably referring to the maximum power...

noelex replied to the thread Solar panels should each have their own controller?.There are no "12V" panels with an open circuit voltage as low as 18V.

noelex replied to the thread Solar panels should each have their own controller?.Yes, that is correct. There are only a few MPPT controllers that will boost voltage. This is not usually an issue. Solar cells still...

noelex replied to the thread Solar panels should each have their own controller?.Another option to consider is using multiple controllers, but not necessarily one per panel. For example, wiring two starboard panels to...

noelex replied to the thread Solar panels should each have their own controller?.Using multiple MPPT solar controllers will almost always result in a higher solar yield because the maximum power point voltage can be...
