I have two 240w 24v panels, would this controller be able to handle these?

This unit will be just fine for your system as described. The BZ MPPT500 will handle 500 watts of renewable energy.
231151
Yes, the BZ MPPT500 will handle 500 watts of solar with the minimum recommended input of 100 watts.

I think a 20A would be the min I would hook up two panels to. I have 4 panels wired in series and parrallel to a 40A MPPT controller. The MPPT vs PWM is a different thing completely. You can google the difference between the two. I have had great luck and success with MPPT TRACER 3215RN Solar Charge Controller 30A 12V 24V EP I've used this one and the same brand in 20A. These are great panels and make power even in moonlight.

You can if you adjust the wattage to where the two will not exceed 4000 W at 240 V
2048060
Yes as long as you don't exceed the controllers maximum current output. This unit at 12vdc draws 560milliamps

Dont know if i understand your question. But it doesn't sound like it would work because one 12v panel wont charge 24v battery unless you connect two 12v panels in series.

Input wattage at 24v is 1000w max so you can use only 3 of your panels in series...900w@24v.

20 amp minimum with the 2 panels connected in parallel at 12 volts. You can use a PWM or an MPPT controller. The panels don't care

Since the Controller os automatic Voltage sensing on the Battery Side, the answer is NO. The Controller will sense a 12v battery system and will shut down, as in overloaded. The Controller will allow you to hook up to a 24 volt solar panel but the max input into a 12v battery system is 390 watts (30 amps nominal throughput to the batteries).

its a 20 amp controller watts = volts X amps. So, 12 volts X 20 amps = 240 watts, so you can only hook up 2 - 100 watt panels.

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

The wattage will be OK, but you also have to make sure the total amperage is below 30A. Also, depending on how you wire those four panels, you'll get different Voltage and amperage.

this controller doesn't care if it is 12 or 24 volts,, not very many watts though,, it will take a while to much charge in that battery

31.666 amps is where you are with your 4 panels. I agree with AT... You need a larger charge controller or research using multiple controllers.

The 2 Grape Solar panels put out about 62 volts and 16 amps and this controller will handle 100V and 45 amps so you should be fine.

Yes, as long as you do not exceed the voltage and current limits of the controller. For instance, if you are connecting two 5 watt panels in series, the voltage will be double that of a single panel but the current would be the same as a single panel. Conversely, if you're connecting the panels in parallel, you'll have double the current but the same voltage. In that case you'd want to ensure the controller is rated for the increased current.

Hello JDT,The Renogy 40 Amp MPPT Charge controller can support up to 3 of the Renogy 250 Watts 24V Monocrystalline panels at 24V
