    Solar Panel hookup

    Correct, after all the information and suggestions that everyone has given and because I didn’t know just how important it is to have matched panels or at least ones that were really close to being equal, it seems to me that with working with the equipment I presently have, using Two charge...

    Solar Panel hookup

    Tracked down the manual for the Wanderer and found out the max. Solar input is only 25VDC so I have no choice but to use it with the two 100w panels which are connected in parallel which is kind of confusing in it’s self, seeing that the manual shows diagrams of two 100w panels in series. Enough...

    Solar Panel hookup

    So what you’re saying is that I should use the Rover (mppt) on the 2-100w panels that are in parallel and use the Wanderer (pwm) controller on the 1-275w panel because it’s a higher voltage panel inorder in get the most out of what I have, correct??

    Solar Panel hookup

    Thanks guys, you’re the best. Going to put the two mono 100w panels on the Wanderer controller and the one 275w mono panel on the Rover, bigger panel, bigger controller?? And if I get another 275w panel, the Rover should be able to handle it better. Guess I have just one more dumb question...

    Solar Panel hookup

    Thanks for the additional option, running them all in series,which is what I’m looking for even though I have an extra charge controller to use if needed, less wiring and holes in the RV. And yes it is a 60 cell panel and being new to this solar stuff, I don’t know why a 72 cell panel would be a...

    Solar Panel hookup

    Thanks for the quick reply to my post. I was thinking about using a separate charge controller also because of the difference in voltage’s and amperage but was hoping to use just the Rover 40A controller. I do have a new 30A Wanderer controller that came with the 2-100w panels so I guess I’ll...

    Solar Panel hookup

    Ok, this is my dilemma. I have 2 Renogy 100 watt panels hooked up in parallel into my Rover 40A charge controller. I was given a 275 watt panel that I want to add to it. What I was thinking was hooking up the 2-100w panels together in series then adding the 275w panel with them in parallel. The...
