I don't see in the info' at hand any information for the use of 24v Panels with 12v Batts. Hmmm? Will this combo work? What is the solution? The reason I have 24v panels is/was for use with the 2...

The 24v panel to 12v battery works great with the correct MPPT controller.
I have three 24v panels in series producing over 90 volts to charge my 12v battery.
I recommend Morningstar

If I knew then (when a ordered the $60 MPPT on hand)what I know now, the one on the link would be in hand. The extra 24v/120w panel I have from SolarBlvd will be used in the Texas cabin with the MPPT in a 12v system. It was to large and heavy for the 'little mighty mo' e/scooter, so I now need to use some extra stuff. I'm Using a 20a 12/24v PWM controller with the 24v e/scooter. Anyway, I now feel safe using the 15a 12v/24v Mppt and the 24v/120w panel together with the 12v battery bank on my 'things to buy list'.
Side note. I like the folks at SolarBlvd. Will order from them again.
I need some 12" wide 24v panels too. Any ideas?
One big Texas thanks to all the great RV.Net Tech Issues folks.
