What if I use 24V panel and 12V battery, would this unit work?

I purchased this after reading the other responses and can confirm. I'm using a single Solarworld 250w panel (24v) with two 6v Sun eXtender batteries (wired for 12v). Works great.

It is my understanding this unit can work for both a 12 v and 24 v system. I think that you might be confusing the one with the other. On one side you have the system charging via the pv modules there is a max input voltage of 100 volts . And on the other end you have your voltage bank. This unit supports a 12v, 24v, and 32 volts bank. The choice is yours. If I can be of help email me at Edgib@bellsouth.net.

Yes it will work. I'm using two 100 watt panels wired in series to get 24 volts running to the charge controller and then to my 12 volt battery bank. works great. You'll have have less resistance from the panel to the controller in 24 volts as well.

yes, i use three 20 volt panels in series so i am putting in 60 volts. the MPPT type of controller means that it an take in any voltage (up to a max, i think 100volts for this controller) and converts it to 12 volts for charging the batteries.

Nope. It will probably regulate close to 28 volts, so you would have to arrange your batteries in a 24 volt configuration.

Yes it will I would wire your panels in series for 24 volts to the controller for best results and you bankroll have a 12v battery bank

Greg:I am very pleased with the inverter I have. I have the 24volt unit and my panels are wired, two in series to get 24 volt, back to trunkline to the inverter and then to grid. This utilises all the voltage they put out. If you are connecting to batteries your charger will hold the panels at 12volts and you will need wire up for 12 volt.calvinm@galaxycable.net

Suppose that you could...you would need a transformer to change the voltage down to 12v (I think, or it may be 24v). But as long as you use that, I would think it would work.

I would not advise that as hooking up an inverter to one battery while two batteries are in 24v could be harmful to the battery's lifespan. I would suggest 24v on the panel side and 12v on the battery side. Please let us know if you need further clarification. Kind Regards, AW

This transformer will not work as it is a 12v trasformer and you need a 24V

I run mine on a 12 volt battery for 20 hours with no issues, I would think the right solar panel would work.

The one I bought was already set up to run 24 volt. It's in the directions.

I don't see why not, I have mine hooked up to my batteries so basically I'm using it like a multi-meter.as long as you're not going over the voltage rated for the meter.use caution as most 12v panels exceed 20v open curcuit.

I had to hook up 2 12v battery to make it a 24v bank and plus a solar charge controller between the panel and the battery bank to prevent over charging

Hello,For x4 of the 250 watt panels would be too much power for the controller to support in 12v let alone in 24vThe minimum you should go to run these on 12v would be roughly 96 amp controller such as the MidNite Classic.Please let us know if you have any other questions.Regards,Austin WaltiRenogy Technical Support Rep.

The panel can supply 12v dc. If your device can charge off of this voltage, you would be ok. Not sure how long it takes to charge though.

It will not work with 24 volts. I don't recommend this unit to anyone as mine stopped working after 6 months and I had to replace the unit! I am not a happy camper with Amazon!!!

I can confirm Renogy Solars answer (it'll work with either 12V or 24V battery banks). I use this panel with a MPPT controller and a 12V battery bank.

This panel can be used for 12v system, provided appropriate charge controller is utilized. One will need MPPT type charge controller.

Hi I'm joe yes u can is 12 v unit but make sure u comet the positive and negative in right way good luck and happy new year
