Hi all,
I have been given a couple of extra panels that I'd like to add to my existing setup. They weren't what I would have chosen if I was buying... but free is free! My question is how best to set up the new additions. Here's the details:
Current Setup
So... Should I accept this loss in voltage for the gain in amps, or will the fact that I have lost it make the final charging stages of my batteries more difficult because they will resist 15.9 much more easily than 18.0
I also have an older Sunsaver 6 PWM that I could throw into the mix if it would help.....
Thanks for your thoughts
Mike

Current Setup
- 2 - 60W panels, wired in Parallel to provide (a theoretical) 18.0Vmp, 3.43Imp
- Connected to Genasun GV-10
- Monitoring of my 210Ah Golf Cart battery (12V) system is done with a Victron BMV. I also have an 'emergency only' starter battery that is kept topped up with an SI-ACR.
- 2 - 50W panels, with the following specs 15.9Vmp, 3.15Imp
