Hello. Voltage at Maximum Power (Vmpp) = 34.5 V Current at Maximum Power (Impp) = 9.59 A Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) = 40.2 V Short Circuit Current (Isc) = 10.1 A I have 2 monocrystalline solar panels of 330W from Tomatech whose values I wrote above... How can you connect these 2 panels to this PowMR MPPT 60A solar controller? With serial connection or parallel connection? Because I looked at the device information, it is 12Volt. It says that the highest 80Volt input can be connected for the battery (VOC). (by the way, my battery is 12.8v 200AhLiFePO4) So, should I use these values only with parallel connection? I was confused and wanted to get precise information... Thanks.

Hi, I’m getting 23 panels installed with 3 powerwall 3. I think right now it’s grouped as two strings 11 and 12 panels going to two powerwalls. Should I ask to do two 8 panels and one 7 panel each going to its own powerwall? They said it’s most efficient with it grouped to two strings. What are your thoughts?
@SolarEngineering11 күн бұрын
3 strings, one to each powerwall to charge dc to dc will be most efficient

The one "waterproof" is not a fuse. It is an automatic circuit breaker with ignition protector. It should allow to pass 100Amps within 1 hour. And more amps you give to it the faster it will switch off. For example it may switch off at 150A after 2 minutes. So I would say it does not work quite correctly switching off at once at 100A exactly. But at least it works. While fuses must be distroyed at once when they reach 100-110A. Automatic circuit breakers and destroyable fuses max amps are counted in a different way.

@hendersonsobers39620 күн бұрын
Great job on the setup. The only thing I don't like is the bus bars in the inverter. I wouldn't use those. Instead I would use the 2 cables per side of the battery (4 in total) because of the amount of amps that inverter can push/pull when operating at max. By using 1 cable per side of the battery (2 in total), you're placing a tremendous amount of amps on a single cable when the inverter is operating at or next max.

correct, we cannot install PW3 in front of PW3. PW2 was stackable and we can install few of them in front of each other (search for images: "powerwall 2 stackable"). Because all of the connection in PW3 under the front cover, we cannot cover it with another PW3.

Not sure if you or the customer is aware (also not to be rude). That single battery can't supply enough DC amperage to utilize the full potential of the Sol-ark 15k.? Also in the manner that you wired it, an additional jumper wire tying both DC sides together is needed, per the install manual.?! Hope all is well 🙏.

Customer is aware of the power limitation for the battery. One battery port is rated for 200A and battery can output 200A as well. If another battery will be installed, then we need to utilize 2 ports (install battery busbars or run another set of wires) reference from Sol-Ark manual: 1.3 Connection Requirements -> 1.

@Tokyo1991.JL1AJE24 күн бұрын
If I understand this correctly, the longer charging time is due to the lower voltage causing a less aggressive charge current as the battery reaches the final voltage, thus the tail current (typically 2-3%) aka the ‘we can stop charging now’ current must be set at a lower percentage (of the initial CC value) in order to achieve near 100% SOC at the lower final voltage? It looks like finding a sweet spot between 6-10Hrs for 0.2C is warranted but at a voltage that is high enough to trigger the internal BMS of multicell battery such as a 4 cell 12.8V 100Ah LiFePo4 unit. If I’m missing something input would be appreciated!
@Tokyo1991.JL1AJE24 күн бұрын
Just realized that tail current sensing for end of charge can be left as it is. It’s just going to longer to get there. Adjust ‘absorption’ aka CV phase accordingly I would guess.

@pederb8225 күн бұрын
It is, but in places with a lot of humidity in air the water in the air inside the box condensates with temp change. It’s a big enough problem that it’s possible to get devices you install on the enclosure that uses piezoelectric tech to push humidity out. It uses a tiny tiny amount of current but basically dry the air inside to avoid it. It won’t help no matter how much you seal up the box. Simplest and completely fine solution here is drainage holes. :)
