Hello,
I got an RV with 2x 72V 435W Panels and found space to add another 445W panel.
Constrains:
Unable to find another of the 72V panels - those are like unicorns.
MPPT max voltage of 150V and I don't necessary want to add another MPPT controller since my Growatt has plenty of capacity left.
So I came up with this idea. Please tell me if that is possible or not?
When I do my math correctly - 72V + 41V = 114V and the total amps are limited through the lowest panel in the series. that would be 11A instead of (6A+ 6A) 12A
114V * 11A = 1254W usable of 1315W theoretical - doesn't sound to bad or? Am I missing something?
