Hi,
I have a bluesolar MPPT 150/85-MC4, which has 3 pair of MC4 inputs.
Now I was wondering, has each MC4 pair its own 'Maximum Power Point Tracking'?
Or is it just one bus with multiple connections for easier connection?
I ask this because I have different solar 'clusters', each with their own alignment, on a RV.
If they would have their own tracking, I guess would make it more interesting in my case.
Cheers,
Tom
Hi Tom,
It's just one bus with multiple connections, identical to the 150/85-Tr except for the connectors. If you wanted individual tracking for your different "clusters", I'd suggest getting multiple units; of course, that would be perhaps prohibitively expensive in the 150/85 size, but if you were using multiple units they could all be smaller and cheaper units. Without knowing your exact setup I couldn't make a recommendation as to the precise models you'd need, but that's fairly easily calculated on your end... of course, in going with a smaller size you'd lose the MC4 connectors at the MPPT, but it's easy enough to just buy MC4 connectors and a bit of 8 or 6 AWG cable and wire pigtails into the terminals.
