To calculate the energy it can supply the battery with divide the watts by the voltage of the solar panel.
Amprege of 600 watts of solar panel at 12volts.
Okay you get the idea it s just simple math.
In practice you want some headroom for the charge controller just in case you have extraordinarily bright conditions or decide to expand the size of your solar array in the future.
The amount of electricity produced by a solar panel depends on the size of the panel the amount of sunlight the panel gets and the efficiency of the solar cells inside the panel.
Equivalent wattage and amperage values at 12 volts.
You want a 24 volt system so you wire 2 panels in series to make 24 volts.
Amperage ratings can be between 1 60 amps and voltage ratings from 6 60 volts.
So a 50 amp charger controller would theoretically work.
Any one who works out the amps of a solar panels using 12v as the voltage calculation does not understand solar or has been misinformed.
You do this 5 times.
The solar panel with the highest watt is the sunpower e series a commercial solar panel line.
Please note that solar panels are not 12v i repeat solar panels are not 12v.
The top panel in the e series comes out at a whopping 435 watts.
Solar panels usually range in wattage output from around 250 watts to 400 watts but some panels exceed the 400 watt mark.
The most common pv charge controllers come in 12 24 and 48 volts.
Again assuming a fully depleted battery you would need 20 amps average charging current 100 ah 5 hours.
Enter the 25 as the maximum amps your wires need to carry.
4 x 300 watt solar panels in series 1200 watts 48 vdc battery bank 25 31 amps.
For example if a 300 watt 0 3kw solar panel in full sunshine actively generates power for one hour it will have generated 300 watt hours 0 3kwh of electricity.
So 600 watts at 12v would be 50 amps.
10 x 300 watt solar panels in series 3000 watts 48 vdc battery bank 25 78 amps.
So if your solar system s volts were 12 and your amps were 14 you would need a solar charge controller that had at least 14 amps.
For example if the solar panel is rated at 175 watts and the maximum power voltage vmp is given as 23 6 volts then calculate the current as 175 watts divided by 23 6 volts which is equal to 7.
120 watts 18v 6 6 amps.
10 solar panels rated at 5 amps at 12 volts.
