How many of the Renogy 100 Watts 12 Volts Monocrystalline Solar Panel can this handle?

ZyPhReX, This chargers real ability is to convert 24V panels to 12V or 12V panels to 24V. The output amperage is based on the output voltage as far as I know. So this MPPT controller will handle 240w outputting to 12v. 480w outputting to 24V. I would recommend a ~250w 24v panel, this changer, at 12V. Or 2 ~250w 24v panels, this charger, at 24V. You can wire them in series up to 100v. Realize that 12v panels run at about 15v and 24v panels run at about 30v.Hope I helped.

If you are asking how many panels it will handle I am using (1) 255 watt 33 volt module and it is rated max is 260 watt it is handling it great

Depends on the voltage that you want to set up your battery for. A 12VDC battery, you can get away with 2 safely, 3 pushing it. For a 24VDC battery, you can handle 5 panels. You need to include all information in the question for a definate answer, but this is what you wanted.

Your panels are rated between 5 and 6 AMPS at 18-20V. The Charger is designed to handle 20 AMPS up to 32V. It is also used as a timer to support automatically running an electrical output circuit.3 panels are within guidlines. Your maximum PV INput would be about 460W at 22V. You could add a 4th panel without losing much efficiency.

It's rated at 20amp. Each of these panels are rated at 5.7amps. It should handle 2 panels, perhaps 3. I would think 4 panels would begin to limit the amperage. You can also use multiple charge controllers rather than trying to attach a larger array of panels to a single controller.

The 12-48v range relates to the battery voltage of your system. The limits of solar input are 4000 watts, 45 amps, 125v. Do not exceed 125 volts for the solar string. Yes, any solar will work if you don't exceed the limits of the device.

Yes you can connect up to 3 100 watt Panels is what I was told when I called Goal Zero with that question (888) 794-6250. Note the internal charge controller is 10 amp. For plug and go applications I use 4 bolder 30 panels equaling 120 watts output. I also connected the Yeti to a battery bank. The 120 watts is sufficient for two computers, DVD player, tv, and phone charging simultaneously.

One 85 watt panel Should deliver around 7 amps at 12 volts in full sun. If you have all 4 panels connected through a single (7 amp) controller, it is way overloaded. Sounds like you might need 3 more controllers or simply a bigger controller unit.

I have had this unit for almost a year now! Works flawless with my two 250 watt Kyrocera panels, ( mono crystalline ) 12volt. Hope this helps u

This particular unit says on the box it can only handle up to 12 trays NOT 10. If you want to use 20 trays you should upgrade to the 1000 watt version.

Most larger, more powerful panels are 24-volt. A good charge controller will automatically step the 24-volt down to a 12-volt battery. I don't know off hand if the HQRP will do it -- it seems to say that it does, but you might want a more expensive controller, a MPPT controller. Also, if you have 150-watt+ solar panel, a 10-amp charge controller is too small, as you probably already know. You'll probably want a 20 or 30 amp.

Renology is limited to 30 amps. If you are using an inverter -- 12 volts to 110ac -- do not connect through the charge controller. I have a 2500 watt that I have connected directly to the battery. The charge controller is only connected to my solar panels and the battery

I have six 100 watt Renogy panels wired for 24 volts. The meter that came with this controller reads almost 40 volts. It varies from 30-40 volts depending on battery state of charge (I am using six deep cycle batteries...12v). It works great. Additionally, I have pulled 34 amps down from the high sun which equates to around 815 watts. My unit has NEVER shut itself off. When the batteries are fully charged it will still provide power to your accessories. I am using an DC-AC inverter...so, it really doesn't matter.

that 90-watt monocrystalline solar needs to convert to a 12V to work with that SunSaver ss-10- so it can work. I have one it dos not work with all the Solar Panel ok have a nice day.

Controllers don't care about brand name solar panels. It's just an input. You should consider a 30 amp controller for about the same price. You will expand your system as you find out how much more useful larger systems are. I started with 100 watts and now have 400. Just my humble advise.

The HQRP charge controller will work with your 100 watt panel. Whether or not your entire "system" is right for your needs depends on your loads. If you plan on running a fridge, TV, radio, lots of lights, electric heater, etc., it ain't gonna happen.

There is no simple answer. Most solar panels have a fixed 12 volt output rated in amps. People who use several batteries use a device called a controller. For off grid small batteries like yours, one solar panel should work. I se a Solar5 panel and it keeps a battery like yours charged up. For me, it is stand by power only. the 5 means it has a maximum 5 amp output in full sun. The best way is to use a controller as the other folks wrote

I don't think it will handle more 100watts. Be careful this unit is bad about running down the battery

Hi Raymond. The solar panel details are such: 2.5Wp, 7.8V polycrystalline solar module. I would suggest staying at our below these levels.

There is one solar panel that is 100 watts. I will ask our warehouse to give me the measurements although it may be a day or two hours before I can get that. I will keep you posted.

I've got 12 of them that I've banked together to store large amounts of power for my solar set up. For the price you can't beat it. Perfect for RV's or solar.
