Hi All,
Apologies for the newbie question: I'm thinking of mounting one or two Solbian SP-52L panels on my sailboat. The specs for these panels are:
52W
Voc: 10.9V
Vmp: 9.1V
Isc: 6A
Ipm: 5.7A
If I've understood correctly, I would indeed need to wire at least two of these panels in series in order to use my MPPT 75/15 (i.e. to achieve the required minimum voltage). One panel alone would not work in this configuration. Is this correct?
Thanks!
presuming you have a 12 volt battery.
Yes that is correct, as the required minimum voltage to start the mppt 75/15 is battery voltage + 5 volt.
As you are still “thinking“ about these panels, I suggest to look for other panel(s) with a higher Vmp.
so that you use the 75/15 to it’s max
