- What do you want to know.
I have 960 W at 45V Open voltage. This couple with a MPPT controller.
Simple math 960 W at 40 V = 24 Amps wire size 10 Awg to controller
MPPT controller
960 W at 13.6 = 70 available Amps. Factor in line loss, cloudy days etc. Avg 50 amps easy - Success!! Thanks for everyone's help, it was greatly appreciated. As I said I do a lot of research, (surfing the web) when I am looking into attempting something such as solar or inverters or such. The post was not on any forum but on youtube, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8EgXla5qTw)! 1tiliman, a gentleman recently joined the fulltimer ranks and has a few posts. Talks about a 285 watt panel and Prostar controller. Anyway thanks for all the time you put into helping me!!
- Here is the only post that I could find in the archives that mentions 285 watts.
Here are the results of a search of the archives on 48 volt.
Hope this helps you a bit.
Barney - I would think it would be 48 volt, not 45 volt.
Not that it matters much, but.... - In situations like that, this is usually my first guess ... "maybe I dreamed it ..." ;)
Go to Google and try this search string (cut-and-paste into the search box):
forum: (("285 Watt" OR 285W OR "285 Watts") AND 45V)
Do you see the post you are referring to? - Thanks for tryin'. Maybe it was a dream:)
- Can't find anything using '285' or '45v' as search terms.
- Unfortunately not. I thought it was in Woodall's but I surf wayyy to much, so I may be wrong.
- Be careful with solblvd.They sell a lot of B grade panels. Be sure to read the description.
- Can't find it. Did you reply in that thread?
