Re: Solar panels with varying voltage; 18v vs 22v
Yeah, that rather makes sense. But does it depend on the controller?If you wire both into the controller itself? I would probably not need to use both together, but it might be handy.
Could I avoid the problem if I connect each panel to its own controller and then to the 12v system? I realize that may create some battery sensing issues for charging, but I'm wondering if it would be useful while running loads during the day. Thinking about it, the extra 1-1.5 amps probably wouldn't charge my batteries any faster than the 100W panel which can do over 3A (and probably more).
