Hi,
I have a Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/85-MC4 VE.Can Charge controler which has 3x Sets of mc4 inputs connections possible.
At the moment I have 2x 400W Solar Panels (both solar panels face the opposite direction of each other ) and are connected to each other in Parallel and then come in on 1x MC4 Input on the Charge Controller.
I was wondering if my current setup is ok, or should I bring in the Solar Panel outputs seperately for each panel into the Charger Controller, so each has it's own Input on the Controller, effectively then i would be using 2x MC4 inputs on the Charge Controller.
I want to achieve the best setup for charging 12V batteries and loads connected to the batteries.
So in summary, do i keep panels connected in parallel or bring in seperately to their own inputs on the charge controller?
Thanks
