solar in the rain.
Hi,
Finally a day that is smoky and rainy. Output to the (hungry) battery bank is 3.3 amps at 1:00 p.m. local time on August 26, 2018.
Panels are from 2005 (Unisolar) and are connected in series parallel with an input voltage of 33 to a Blue Sky 3024 di MPPT controller. This is a flat fixed installation of 256 watts. The wire from the panels to a combiner box is 4 #12 (dual wires to each panel). From the combiner box to the controller is #10 (prewire from factory). From the controller to the dual battery bank is #8 with a 25 amp fuse. There is a catastrophic failure fuse at the positive post on each of the dual banks. The batteries are 4 used telecom jars, wired in a balanced manner, with an OEM capacity of 556 amp-hours @ as volts.
