Solar Panels
(Preview)
Hi All, Throwing a couple questions out there regarding solar. 1. Majority of the time do you wire your panels in series or parallel or series & parallel? 2. Anyone using residential solar panels to charge a 48V battery If so what Voc are you using? (I am assuming < 120V DC) Cheers

No sun

Victoria, in the forest but decent panel/sun coverage. 800W panels, 210Ah AGM, Victron electronics. Needed to run the generator today for three hours to support a fridge/freezer. Solar has a lot of positives but it is not perfect - do not allow internet forums to convince you otherwise.
