GlennWest Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 I going to install panels as soon as mini split upgrade is done. Been looking at controllers and panels. See Midnight Classics for up to 250 volts. They are around $1k. Classic 150 half that. Going to have 8 or possibly 10 panels. Know 8 will fit, 10 may. At what voltage does it become unnecessary to go higher? I could use a 250 but is it beneficial? VMP of panels looking at is 37.89. Also planning on Magnum Hybrid inverters so is it benefical to use the Magnum controller instead. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consolenut Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 I would think solar panel voltage would be based on the battery bank and it's input voltage into an Inverter. I've been looking at 24 or 48 volt inverters due to there efficiency converting to 110V. Higher voltage you can even use a little bit smaller wire as the amp draw is less.

GlennWest Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 well battery will be 48 volts lithium. Need high charging amps. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertMiner Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Victron makes some pretty good stuff.... maybe another option? https://www.victronenergy.com/solar-charge-controllers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 The easy solar units are impressive. Sure simplifies a lot of wiring and price is competitive. Can these units Daisy chain to their inverters. I was going to start with 2 4800 Magnums Daisy chain and add third if needed. Will have 17k battery. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
