Recommendations for solar charge/controller
It appears a buddy of mind is going to donate two used 300 watt panels.
They are rated at 30 volts with about 8 amps open voltage (he got them for a song - used I should say)
We’ve been out in the desert in socal and after wiring in a progressive dynamics charger, a 2000 watt psw inverter and a midnight 150 charge controller we are pretty happy with the results.
Since he bought 6 and needs only 4, they are going to be donated to me.
Questions:
1. How many amps should I size tge controller at?
2. PWM or MPPT?
3 Any brand you’d recommend.
Im running 420 amps (2-battery banks GC4 so two 210 banks)
I generally charge the separately (my house batteries are from July 2014 and they are still going strong!) , the other bank feeds my 1000 psw inverter for coffee.
Thanks in advance….
