very large solar panel

[wagoneer]

I just picked up these 2 huge solar panels.<br /><br />http://www.ebay.com/itm/121151503627?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648.<br /><br /><br />with the Megawarrior extension will fit one on the rack on top of the bubbletop. One panel one battery. Overkill?<br />This E350 is very tall and with plastic tie downs should be very secure in the basket, I figure larger panel even with cloudy conditions will get some activity.

Hi Adrian, just a guess judging by the apparent size of the panels, I'm thinking around 200 watts each? If it will fit on your roof I think it will charge your one battery just fine, but I would recommend having at least two batteries if you can. Having more storage is what you will need on overcast days, and more batteries equals more storage.

500 VOLTS??? (that's what the ad sais)

The seller sure doesn't seem to have much knowledge of what he's got...especially seeing that he's an electronics dealer. (doesn't say how large they are either.)

Interested to see how these work for yas.
Good Luck!!

I have never heard of 500 volt solar panels. I have heard a panel bank of over a thousand volts, but that is on houses and buildings, but not individual panels.

with a solar charge converter, solar panels convert Watts to Volts.
This ad must mean 500 watt solar panel.

You can get some idea by using a volt meter at the panel. Use that reading to source the controller. I'm sure they aren't 500 volt, but you need the controller to match their actual voltage.
