What did I say that is incorrect then? You said the lowest voltage wins which is what I thought I just said. The 89.4 volts is what would be used, not the 90 volts. Therefore a loss of .6 volts.

So if I'm understanding correctly then, if I'm going to mix panels at all it probably will make the most sense to keep the 100 watt panels in their own separate strings that are slightly higher in voltage than the larger panels so that my loss is from the 100 watt panels and isn't so great a...

Can I mix different panels in one string? For instance, using victrons mppt sizing calculator it looks like I should do strings of 4 with the 315 watt panels I have. That leaves me with 2 extra panels. Could I do a string on the other controller with 2x 315 and 1x 100 (45.6x2+21=112.2) in...

Ok... Yeah it usually doesn't get so cold around here, that was just the record. I'm in Northeast Texas.

I appreciate you're help and advice... Did those numbers for temps change anything? Also what about the breaker for disconnect?

3x2=6 so what about the other two panels

There is not much data on my area. The only source that I could find said 4 degrees was the record low. However there is a larger town about an hour away that says the record low there is -5 (Fahrenheit). Also another question I have is, how to I take advantage of the higher voltage input on the...

I will probably just not use the 100 watt panels then. Bummer

Hello, I was hoping someone would chime in and help me configure my panel arrays for optimum production. I have two victron smart charge controllers 150/100 & 250/100. I have the following panels (10) 315 watt, (8) 230 watt, and (12) 100 watt (see pictures attached for more info). I have (16)...
