House/solar battery opinions
My current battery space is 20"L x 14"w x 10"H Going solar, and want to packs as much AH in there as I can (reasonably). Currently looking at 250 - 300. Price is not THE deciding factor, unless ...

Hi seraphim,
In series the panels will operate as a battery would--the weakest "cell" will limit the current of the whole array.
The voltages for the various specs should be within one volt of each other.
Please DON'T do this to yourself. Identical panels is the "way to go", and especially so with MPPT. (my eyes are dim, I can not see...)

Thanks pianotuna. More good links.
I'm wondering how critical voltages have to be if I pair up panels of different manufacture. One may out 28, another 30, but they'd both be classed as 24v panels.
