Controller upgrade (bad panels?)

So I pulled the two that were showing zero current (but both showed 16 to 19v in the app) and plugged them in turn to the combiner that had the known working panel, same issue. So, disconnected both panels, and with a DVM connected to the panel connectors I measured: Volts in sun / clouds passing 15-19 VDC Switching the DVM probes to read current:

hard wiring panels in parallel — northernarizona-windandsun

Register. 10 amps * 1.25 NEC derating for continuous current = 12.5 Amps minimum branch circuit fuse/breaker/wiring. I am currently mounting two 100W Renogy panels on the roof of my truck camper and would like to hard wire them to the MPPT charge controller without using MC4 connectors and the parallel couplers, etc.

Solar Panel Cable Branch Connector and fuses

I didn''t plan to wire the Kaneka panels in series. With the Kaneka panels, I would be wiring three postive wires from three panels on one of those "+" 4-way connectors and three negative wires on another of the same connectors. In parallel, the 60 volts stay the same, but the amps for the three panels would be 5.7amps

Connectors: Which is male and which is female?

MC4 connectors have both the male and female pins completely shielded with plastic, which happens to be the opposite gender of the metal pin itself. Nobody can get a shock off either gender, whether it is grounded or not. bill von novak Solar Expert Posts: 891 . January 2020.

Risk when connecting/disconnecting solar panels in the sun??

Like this one from another forum in reference to using coax cable connectors: Warning, just like the MC-4 or other Solar panel connectors, these can NEVER be unplugged or plugged in while the sun is on the panels.. The power will arc weld/melt the center pin. It will have to be replaced.

Connectors: Which is male and which is female?

Being that extension cables have the opposite situation when connecting to a solar panel, male into female and vice versa, I always considered the +, positive connector on the panel to be the male. This is actually opposite to conventional thought. The positive connector has the female internal terminal although externally it looks to be male.

Solar Panel connectors

Solar Panel connectors - MC4 and replacements. I am relatively new to this field and was hoping to get some help. I have a few questions about the MC4s and their ideal replacements. I read the discussions about the MC4s, pros, cons in many forums and I don''t want to go for them. I checked about Anderson Power Pole and few others but they don''t

How Do I Connect 12v Panels with MC4 Connectors

KnowledgeSponge Solar Expert Posts: 173 . May 2013 #1. I now have 4, 100Watt 5.68A Solar Panels. My battery bank is 12v. My Inverter is 12v. What''s the best way to connect my panels? Since I need 12v, I connect them in Parallel...right? (If I connect them in Series, the voltage goes up..right?) Don''t I want the Current to increase, not the Voltage?

Solar Panel Layout and Battery Charging for Teardrop Travel Trailer

Solar Panel Layout and Battery Charging for Teardrop Travel Trailer. kelly Registered Users Posts: 11 . January 2015 #1. I own a Tab travel trailer, with a curved, teardrop roof. I plan to install two flexible 100 W solar panels on the roof. In addition, I want to keep the option to use two additional 100W folding rigid panels to be set up on

Adding portable panel power to existing system

Use the panels in series with a MPPT type charge controller. This allows you to use reasonable gauge extension cable for 50-100'' and still have an efficient charging system. If you use Vmp=17.5 volts and a PWM controller--the extension cable has to stay short or the copper gauge goes way up to keep voltage drop low.
